DMPI expressed its need for trainees to support ongoing operations, opening opportunities for collaboration in manpower development and technical training.
The team likewise visited Nutrimax Fresh-Baked Inc., a subsidiary of Gardenia located in Misamis Oriental, to explore areas of cooperation, particularly in deploying Dualtech trainees to support the company’s workforce needs.

In Gingoog City, Misamis Oriental, the team partnered with the Del Monte Foundation for a dialogue with the Fisher Folks and Mangrove Planters Association, exploring potential CSR initiatives with Yamaha Motor Philippines. Dualtech also highlighted its ongoing partnership with the Del Monte Foundation, presenting scholars from Bukidnon currently enrolled in the Electromechanics Technology course.
