SAN JOSE, Antique – Inmates of the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) in this capital town and the Antique Rehabilitation Center generated combined sales of P28,000 from the handmade products and processed food they made.

The breakdown of their sales is: bamboo crafts, P10,000; processed food, P7,000; coco crafts, P5,500; and paintings, P5,500.

The breakdown is based from the inmates’ sales from December last year to Jan. 9 this year, according to the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI).

Billy Regondon, administrative staff of DTI-Antique, said 31 inmates underwent training on making wearables and homestyles from Dec. 1 to 3 and 20 to 22 last year.

The inmates were also trained on acrylic and charcoal painting. Painting materials were provided for them.

DTI coordinated with the Diocesan Social Action Center (DSAC) for the inmates’ training.

The DSAC was involved in the marketing and production of some of the inmates’ handmade products, like the bamboo crafts, Regondon said.

DTI also coordinated with the Provincial Veterinary Office in conducting a food processing seminar to 34 inmates from Dec. 14 to 15 last year.

“The two activities are in complementation to the BJMP’s Inmates Welfare Development Project,” said Arlene Galopo, senior trade and development specialist. (PIA/PN)
