Last April 14, 2015 around 1:30 pm Team Acosta together with some youth volunteers and Mr. Dennis Lloyd Tecson went to Barangay 28-C to conduct a Livelihood Skills Training focused on how to make a dishwashing liquid. The training taught the residents the step by step procedure to make their own dishwashing liquid soap which in return is helpful perhaps for future businesses or even saving their money from spending on soaps.           According to the record, there were around 55 people who participated and acquired new knowledge through the activity.

Of course the event won’t end without a sumptuous Moringa Tuna Lugaw served hot for the people. Overall, the event was filled with useful information and delicious food that everyone enjoyed.

Funfacts: Did you know that the scientific name of Malunggay is Moringa oleifera? Malunggay is also known in the Philippines as Horseradish Tree which bears its green “miraculous” leaves. This is tagged as so because of the many nutritional and medical properties it contains. The Moringa leaves which we often have in our vegetable soup are great sources of good cholesterol which is known to protect against cardiovascular diseases. It is also a well known stimulant for milk production for breastfeeding mothers. Today, people are being innovative and healthy with beverages. Thus, having the benefits of Moringa, it is made into Moringa Tea which is then used as a base for milkteas. This is much better than drinking coffee because Moringa tea does not contain caffeine.
