EXPLANATORY NOTE

‘The Constitution, Article II,

ction 17 provides

“The State shall give priority to education, science and
technology, arts, culture. and sports to foster patriotism and nationalism,
accelerate social progress, and promote total human liberation and
development.”

Further, Article 14, Section 1 mandates:

“The State shall protect and promote the right of all c
quality education at all levels and shall take appropriate steps to make
such education accessible to all.”

‘The City of Bacoor developed into a site of commerce and industry, as shown by the
growth of the trade, banking and service sectors. Commercial activities are sporadic throughout
the City, ranging from wholesale to retail establishments, restaurants and eateries, hardware and
construction supplies and other service-related industries.

It is imperative that appropriate education will be provided through a curriculum that
will properly address the needs of the City. In as much as commerce and industry play vital
roles for the progress of the City it is essential that the State shall provide institutional and
funding support in preserving and strengthening the livelihood of the people as an alternative
source of income, To respond to the demands of the modern times, technical vocational courses
like information technology, caregiving/caregiver, tailoring, food processing, massage therapy,
beauty care, commercial cooking, carpentry, food and beverage services, baking and pastry
production, plumbing, automotive servicing and the like should be given priority. No doubt
technical skills education will move the country forward as this is a means to spur employment
and boost family income

The establishment of a Technical Education and Skills Development Authori
ning Center in the City of Bacoor to be located at Barangay San Nicolas 2 r
equip graduates with basic livelihood skills and_ knowledge which will enable them to become
economically independent at an earlier age.

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