The Entrepreneurial Development Training focusing on the Concepts of Costing and Pricing Strategies was successfully conducted on April 8, 2026, from 8:00 AM to 12:00 NN at Hiraya Hotel & Restaurant, Daet, Camarines Norte. The activity gathered participants from various sectors, especially persons with disabilities, who are part of livelihood and entrepreneurship initiatives. The training aimed to strengthen their understanding of basic costing, pricing strategies, and practical business concepts that they can apply in their daily livelihood activities.

The program was supported by the presence of Dr. Angeles M. Asay, Jr., Ph.D., Ms. Malyn Manalo-Asay, MBA, and Rex A. Bernardo, Ed.D., whose continued support and guidance have been instrumental to the success of the SUCCEED Program. The activity also recognized the 𝗖𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝗡𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗲 – 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗕𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰 𝗔𝗱𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 (𝗖𝗡𝗦𝗖-𝗖𝗕𝗣𝗔) as a long-time partner of Scaling-Up Capacities of Community-Based Enterprises for the Economic Empowerment of Persons with Disability (S.U.C.C.E.E.D) Livelihood Program for PWDs, consistently providing support and taking initiatives that contribute to the program’s growth and sustainability. True to the spirit of the program, “𝘞𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘢𝘪𝘪𝘸𝘢𝘯, 𝘭𝘢𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘢𝘺 𝘢𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘢𝘵 𝘢𝘵 𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘢𝘨𝘶𝘮𝘱𝘢𝘺.”

The resource speaker for the training was Ms. Melissa S. Carbonell, MBA, MMagrib, Associate Professor from CNSC-CBPA, who shared her expertise during two sessions. She discussed the basic concepts of costing and pricing, different types of costs, pricing strategies, break-even point analysis, and value chain mapping. Her discussions were practical, easy to understand, and highly relevant to the participants’ small business activities.

The event was made possible through the strong collaboration of stakeholders, partners, and facilitators who continuously support the SUCCEED Program. Their commitment has helped empower participants by equipping them with the right knowledge and skills to improve their livelihood.

This training also holds a special significance. After five (5) years of successful implementation, the SUCCEED Program has reached a meaningful milestone. This activity marks the last training or seminar under the program, as it now stands strong and sustainable. The success of SUCCEED is a result of the continuous guidance, shared knowledge, and unwavering support from all partners and stakeholders who believed in its mission from the very beginning.

More than just a training, this event symbolizes growth, confidence, and readiness of the participants to move forward independently in their entrepreneurial journey.
