EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to establish a Technical Education Skills Authority (TESDA herein after)
Training and |Accreditation Center in the municipality of Bayombong, Nueva Vizcaya in harmony
with the Constitutional mandate provided for under Article 2 of the 1987 Constitution which states

the following:

The municipality of Bayombong is a first-class municipality in the province of Nueva
Vizcaya. According to the 2015 census, it has a population of 61,512 people. Bayombong is the seat

of the Provingi

al Capitol of Nueva Vizcaya. Education is a critical part of rural development of the

national economy and the alleviation of poverty, in which basic education is essential. To achieve
this national goal, low-income families and out-of-school youth especially those who live in rural
municipalities need access to inspiring and quality education and technical training that will equip

them to live

in, and contribute to, our complex and globalized society. This is true for all children

and young people regardless of where they live.

Further,

global trends dictate that poor and developing countries need to adopt a ‘science and

technology mindset’ to help achieve economic progress that will deliver long-term benefits for their

people. The

hilippines is one of the countries that could benefit immensely from this kind of

national endeavor. By providing the next generation — the Filipino youth — with the right educational

facilities in ar
and progress.

of science and technology, we could very well be on the peak of meaningful reform

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