EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks toestablish the TESDA Skills, Training and Accreditation
Center in the capital town of Naval, Province of Biliran to be known as Naval TESDA
-IT Training Center.

The establishment of an accessible, high quality and efficient technical education
and skills development center shall be beneficial not only to the new high school
graduates but also to college graduates and to ordinary citizen.

The Lone District of Biliran is composed of eight (8) municipalities, namely:
Almeria, Biliran, Cabuegayan - very far from the town proper where the only Tesda
Training Center in the province is located, Caibiran, Culaba, Kawayan, Maripipi and
Naval, the capital town that serves as the center of trade and commerce of the Province.
It is ironic that the provincial office of TESDA is located in Barangay Atipolo, Naval,
Biliran while the training center is located in Cabucgayan. The learners find it very
difficult to travel to a far-flung area away from the main island. Not only costing them
more expenses but also time alone are already onerous for them.

This bill, which aimed to equip the citizens with basic practical knowledge
and technical expertise, geared towards a society that is self-reliant, productive, and
more importantly employable. The necessity for the creation of a TESDA in Naval,
Biliran shall serve the nearest (6) municipalities composed of the Almeria,
Kawayan, Culaba, Caibiran, Naval as well as other neighboring provinces since the
existing TESDA Accreditation Centers located in Cabucgayan cannot cater for the
whole province of Biliran.

Inview of the foregoing, approvalof this bill is earnestly sought.

Lone District, Biliran
