The formal graduation ceremony took place on Friday, February 7, 2025, with City Agriculturist Ms. Adeline Detera and City Administrator Atty. Mark Gerald Guirindola, who represented the City Mayor, leading the event. They were joined by members of the 8th City Council, all of whom recognized the remarkable achievements of the 28 dedicated FFS graduates from Barangay Marinas in the Sorsogon East District.
The intensive and engaging six-month training program, which ran from July to December 2024, saw the active participation of community members, including mothers, barangay officials, and the Barangay Captain of Marinas.
