CLARK FREEPORT – Natapos kamakailan lang ng 25 cacao farmers mula sa mga komunidad na malapit sa Freeport na ito ang Clark Development Corporation’s (CDC) livelihood workship sa cacao processing at packaging sa Clark Skills and Training Center.

Pisikal na dumalo ang 15 farmers sa nasabing event habang sampung iba pa mula sa Munisipalidad ng Bamban, Tarlac ang sumali virtually. Inorganisa ang nasabing aktibidad ng CDC-Corporate Social Responsibility and Placement Division (CSRPD).

Sa naturang event, ipinarating ni CDC Chief-of-Staff for the Office of the President Dennis C. Legaspi ang mensahe ni CDC President and CEO Manuel R.
