As a full-time mother of two, she sells snacks and “kakanins” in schools to earn extra. 

“Every weekday while my older daughter is in school, I sell different types of kakanins and snacks. That is why when I learned that the TESDA is giving free skills training course on donut making, I was excited to join as it is my long-time plan to sell donuts and make homemade cakes,” Ginoy stated in Hiligaynon.

She also shared that, as a graduate of TESDA's Food and Beverages Services program,  this paved the way for  her to get a job offer from a local resort in Roxas City.

However, Ginoy chose to be a full-time mother and used some of her knowledge of food and beverages services in selling snacks. 

The skills training was organized by the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) Election Officer of Panay town and Capiz Association of Government Public Information Officers President Ruthche Calixterio in time for the Women's Month celebration.

All of the participants in the day-long activity were women.

“Even way back, empowering women especially housewives has been my life’s advocacy. Growing up I saw a lot of women that are stuck in their houses, relying on their husbands. That is why I help various women associations to be accredited and conduct various seminars to empower them,” Calixterio said as she also plans to help in the registration of these organized associations with the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE).
