 Marinduque State College’s (MSC) Gender Advancement Unit (GAD), has identified ceramics and pottery making as one project that has potential to improve the economic condition of some local communities. It is also seen as a viable project that will encourage entrepreneurship especially among women.

MSC’s GAD has collaborated with the DOLE Mimaropa Regional Office and the Office of Cong. Lord Allan Velasco for such a project for the barangays of Anapog-Sibucao and Danao in Mogpog. Representatives from the University of Northern Philippines’ (UNP), ceramics development and research center in Vigan were on hand recently to conduct the project’s production technology transfer.
