Food Preservation Delights
September 13, 2008
The Relief Society sisters were delighted during the HFPEM meeting for the 3rd quarter on September 13, 2008 at Cabuyao Chapel. Sis. Ailyn Saligan, Relief Society President with her councilors spearheaded the program. They divided all the sisters into four groups and were given instructions to prepare food preserves. The activity aims to promote knowledge on food preservation in times of crisis, additional income and also camaraderie among the sisters.
Bro. Romeo Policarpio was the resource person and he discussed on how to make “burong labanos” or pickled radish. He also cited the mineral contents of radish that will help us become healthy and fight cancers and other diseases.
