HOUSE BILL No.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill proposes to establish a Technical Education and Skills Development
Authority (TESDA) Training Center in the Municipality of Dangeagan, Bukidnon
Dangcagan is one of our three poorest municipalities, aside from Kitaotao and
Kadingilan. To uplift their economic status and to spur economic growth in the district,
TESDA centers are the best way to provide our constituents the skills to generate their

own income and hopefully permit them to be self-sustaining

This term, priority is on livelihood, creating avenues therefor and equipping our
constituents with enough economic and social capital to enable them to become self-
reliant, enterprising, and productive. One step toward realizing the dream of a robust
and inclusive economy in Bukidnon is adopting policies that will allow our constituents to
comply with employment standards to empower them to get jobs that pay living wages.

In view of the foregoing, approval of this bill is earnestly sought
