MANILA –Right after renewing his barista license in the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA), Sen. Joel Villanueva on Tuesday showed off his barista skills to media by making them different espresso-based coffee drinks.
Villanueva took a course in preparing and serving coffee drinks during his term as TESDA chair.
“After renewing my license, I went straight to Senate media center for Barista Skills demonstration,” Villanueva said on his official Instagram account.
“Such a great privilege to prepare and serve different coffee concoctions to our friends from the media,” he added.
Villanueva also shared tips to make a good cup of coffee, which he said depended not just on the type of machine, coffee beans and other ingredients, but also on the grinding technique.
The neophyte senator graduated with an Economics degree at the University of Santo Tomas and finished a certificate course in Business Administration and Management at Harvard University.
