30 HAIR DRESSING STUDENTS GRADUATE WITH WELLA

AG&PFI - Bauan, Batangas, from among the willing employees and community folks of three Bauan barangays emerged 30 graduates of the Wella International and AG&P Company of Manila Foundation, Inc. Hair Dressing Seminar on September 29, 2010.

Who ever thought that a heavy fabrication yard such as AG&P, with millions of tons of metal works, would sponsor a soft course for the residents of three barangays, and more so, employees and their relatives?

This is practically what made the Atlantic, Gulf & Pacific of Manila, Inc. different from other industries in Batangas Province, the ability to become holistically adaptable and civilly active. These are signs of evolution in the fields of manufacturing and industrialization. Don’t get me wrong, AG&P has not gone soft all the way rather, the company just got more involved in improving the lives of the greatest asset of its company, the “PEOPLE”.

AG&P Company of Manila Foundation, Inc. in cooperation with the MP Cooperative and Wella International, Inc. just finished a one day seminar on Beauty Care with emphasis on Hair dressing and cutting.

The one day training involved two I2 Wella International teachers and cooperative officers of the AG&P Multi-purpose Cooperative in cooperation with AG&PFI and the Municipality of Bauan. Preparations to hair dressing involved a lot of rituals and physical examinations. The texture of the hair, the color, the width, length and the weight have a lot of things to say about how to and what not to do to make the hair elegantly presentable and gorgeous.

Shampooing, Putting Oil, brushing and even curling were topics eloquently discussed during the training. Step-by-step in cutting and other procedures were demonstrated until each of the participant was able to actually perform hot oil treatment, celophane rebonding and cutting. Too much work in just four hours of training but a lot learned.

The Certificate of Attendance was awarded by the AG&P Company of Manila Foundation, Inc. to all successful graduates together with a “starter kit” to get the ball rolling for those who would further venture to livelihood. (Ben S. Aclan)
