EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to establish a Technical Education and Skills Development
Authority (TESDA) Training Center in the Barangay of Sinuda in the Municipality of
Kitaotao, Bukidnon, Given the barangay is classified as an ultra poor barangay, the
population of which is comprised of indigenous peoples belonging to the Matigsalug and
Manobo tribes. our constituents in Sinuda will stand to greatly benefit from the
establishment of a TESDA Training School which will enable them to have the social
capital and technical know-how to make a living for themselves. Given most of them are
farmers willing to work with their hands, the diversity of skills the TESDA Training Center
can offer to teach our indigenous peoples in Barangay Sinuda will not only redound to
their benefit but to the economic activity in Bukidnon, one of the 10 poorest provinces in
the Philippines

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
comply with employment standards to empower them to get jobs that pay living wage
In view of the foregoing, approval of this bill is earnestly sought
