In a fitting tribute to healthcare and frontline workers battling the COVID-19 virus outbreak in the country, the Batch 12 baking students of the DOLE-OWWA Culinary Training Programme, formerly WASAHQ, made special themed cakes honouring their heroism and dedication at this time of crisis.
Led by the Programme’s Acting Chairman Alma Barcelina and the rest of the leadership of the initiative and volunteer instructors, the special project has engaged the students in a worthwhile cause at the same time brought smiles to the faces of the recipients of the special treats.
A tribute cake shaped in a virus image was handed over to Philippine Labour Attache to Qatar David Des Dicang honouring the tireless efforts of Philippine Labour Office in Doha under his leadership, together with the Philippine Embassy and the Qatar government, to oversee the welfare and cater to the needs of Filipino expats and workers amidst the extraordinary situation.
The cake was made by student Jewel-Ann B. Cambri with the dedication message, "Not all superheroes wear capes, some are in the frontlines battling against unseen enemy. Thank You Front Liners for your courage and dedication to fight against COVID-19. Your efforts and sacrifices are appreciated. We Salute You, Modern Heroes!”
Cambri also made a special cake for Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) Officer Evelyn Laranang. The cake is aptly adorned with images of frontline workers.
Another student, Maritess A. Dejoras, flexed her baking skills and made the famous Filipino cheesecake for POLO-OWWA Administrative Staff Erick Dizon. Maritess wrote the following dedication message to her chosen frontliner, "Thank you for your heroic efforts in helping those in need. Words can’t express your selfless acts in this crisis and each one of you are in our thoughts and prayers daily. You guys are the true heroes. Please keep healthy and don’t forget to look after yourselves. Your work is important to us all, thank you. God bless you all!”
Karlo Crisanto Quiogue, Ambulance Paramedic at the HMC Ambulance Service, HIA, received a Chocolate COVID Kit Cake from another student Venia B. Tolentino. Her dedication message to Karlo states, "As a front liner, you always have to stay safe and healthy. We will always stand with you alongside Qatar in the fight against COVID. Thank you so much and God Bless You All!”
