EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to establish a Technical Education and Skills Development
Authority (TESDA) Training and Accreditation Center in the Municipality of Sto.
Domingo, Province of Nueva Ecija

The Municipality of Sto. Domingo is one of the nine municipalities composing
the First Legislative District of Nueva Ecija, and although its proximity from
Cabanatuan City provides for better opportunities in terms of availability and
accessibility of training centers, many of the learners come from low income families,
most of whom will opt to put food on their tables than to spend what little money they
have on other expenses.

By establishing a TESDA Training and Accreditation Center in the Municipality
of Sto. Domingo, learners from low income families and other marginalized individuals
will be able to pursue vocational and technical skills to better prepare them to engage
in gainful employment and entrepreneurship and help them become economically
stable, globally competitive and productive members of society.

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