EXPLANATORY NOTE

The Republic Act No. 7796, otherwise known as the Technical Education and Skills

accessible, high quality, and efficient technical education and skills development in support of the
development of high quality Filipino middle-level manpower responsive to and in accordance with
Philippine development goals and priorities.”

In fulfillment of the State's vision of developing the Filipino workforce with world-class
competence and positive work values, this bill seeks to create a Technical Education and Skills
‘Training Center in Barangay Bagbag, Novaliches, Quezon City.

The proposed center will be beneficial to the 155,449 residents of Area 10" in the Fifth

technical expertise in order to strengthen their manpower skills and improve their
competency. Therefore, we are offering the citizens with an opportunity to better themselves
for better employment possibility.

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