INTRODUCED BY REPRESENTATIVE ALFRED VARGAS

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to create a fully-equipped center where the youth of the Fifth District of
Quezon City can obtain learning opportunities, hone their skills and competencies, explore
leadership and responsible citizenship awareness, and be productive, contributing members of
the community.

One of the major strengths of the Fifth District of Quezon City is its young population,
the so-called millennials, which currently dominating the demographic profile of the district.
These are young people who can be hamessed to become fully productive members of the
community. It gives vital opportunities such as skills and competencies trainings, values-
formation and leadership, peer counseling and social responsibility. All these human
development modules can be facilitated if there is the presence of the needed venue-a manpower
training and youth center.

While the Technical Education Skill Development Authority (TESDA) can provide a
multitude of modules and the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) can facilitate job-
matching with possible employers, the needed structure must first be constructed. The center
shall have training rooms, conference venues, office for the center administrator and staff, and
the needed equipment to be fully functional.

Given the increasingly competitive work world where only the adequately- trained and
skilled can fit in, the construction of this center is an urgent undertaking.

With all the foregoing premises,approval of this measure is earnestly sought.
