Testimony of Wilma Nicodemus
(Owner / Manager, W.R. Nicodemus Tinsmith)

"TRESP is a great blessing to our family and to the people in our community, barangay Buensuceso, Arayat, Pampanga. Through its raw materials assistance, we are able to meet the market demands of our growing clients and help the people in the community through employment generation. Insufficiency of raw materials is not anymore a problem. Our business really improved and became progressive.

Aside from this assistance, TRESP also assisted us to market our products.  They also shared relevant information with regards to business development and facilitated the conduct of awareness trainings both socially and economically."
