SMC to turn ex-residents of airport site into traders

SAN MIGUEL Corp. (SMC) has launched its community resellers program for former residents of Barangay Taliptip in Bulakan, the future site of the P740-billion Manila International Airport project as part of the company’s continuing livelihood creation and training programs for them and their families.

SMC President and Chief Operating Officer Ramon S. Ang said apart from the free skills and livelihood training from Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (Tesda) that the company is already providing them, SMC is also organizing former residents into groups or cooperatives to start their own community reselling business, carrying Magnolia Chicken and Purefoods-branded frozen products.
