The program
From the work you know to work online.
Kapitulo Dos means Chapter Two. It is a five-week online program that helps Filipinos move from a local job into virtual assistant work. The first batch is in Rio Tuba, Palawan.
You learn at home, a few minutes a day, and you keep a portfolio workbook as you go. Then you bring that work to one face-to-face day and leave with a portfolio a client can open.
Who it is for
Community members of Rio Tuba and nearby barangays. Employees of Coral Bay Nickel Corporation, and their families. Fresh graduates, parents coming back to work, and people changing careers.
You do not need freelancing experience. A phone or a computer is enough, along with English you can use for work.
How it works
Short chapters, in order.
-
01
Monday to Friday
Five weeks of study. Weekends stay open so you can catch up. No new chapter arrives on Saturday or Sunday.

02
Twenty-five chapters
Each lesson is a chapter. Plan on 5 to 15 minutes, on a phone or a laptop.
-
03
One at a time
The next chapter unlocks only after you finish the previous one. A short quiz or a small task is enough. You can retake a quiz until you pass.

Portfolio Day
One day, face to face, in Rio Tuba.
The online weeks do the groundwork. The day itself is for building. On Portfolio Day, you build your very own website, a lot like the one you are looking at now.
It carries your name, your skills, and your best work from the 25 chapters. You leave with a real link you can send to clients. You also publish your profiles, practice your introduction, and send your first applications.
Bring your certificate and a laptop. The certificate is what lets you in.
