EXPLANATORY NOTE

‘This bill seeks to establish a Technical Education and Skills Development Authority
(TESDA) Training Center in the Dapdap Resettlement, Municipality of Bamban, Province of
Tarlac.

Article 14, Section 2 (4) of the 1987 Constitution provid that “Zhe State shall
encourage non-formal, informal and indigenous learning systems, as well as self-learning,
independent and out-of-s hool study programs particularly those that respond to community
needs. To flesh out the intent of this constitutional provision, Republic Act No. 7796,
otherwise known as the Technical Education and Skills Development Act of 1994, "was:
enacted to promote the quality of technical education and skills development programs in the
country in order to meet the changing ‘demands for quality middle-level manpower.

Many years since the 1991 eruption of Mount Pinatubo, the aftermath of that fateful
event still shows its wretched vestiges — displaced people are still living in temporary camps or
squatter settlements, unemployed and with scanty means of livelihood.

To uplift the lives of the out-of-school youths and the members of the low income and
displaced families from their present predicament, there is a need to create a center that will
provide technical-vocational training skills development programs in this area, With the
establishment of a TESDA training center, we shall be equipping them with creative thinking
‘and manipulative competencies that are necessary {0 enhance their employability and
productivity.

In view of the foregoing, approval ofthis bill is highly and earnestly recommended.
