EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to establish a Technical Education and Skills Development
Authority (TESDA) Training Center in the Municipality of Kadingilan, Bukidnon
Kadingilan is one of our three poorest municipalities in Bukidnon, along with Dangcagan
and Kitaotao. To drag them out of the dregs of poverty and to spur economic growth, it
is my wish to establish TESDA Training Centers in our poorest barangays.

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
arm them with the skills they need to live more fruitful lives in partnership with the State,

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

Representative
strict of Bukidnon
