ILIGAN CITY, Aug. 7 (PIA) - To address the challenge of not having enough trainers to reach far-flung communities, the Technical Skills and Development Authority (TESDA) in Lanao del Norte is set to provide skills training to police and military officers here.
The first batch of participants for the training of trainers coming from the 4th Mechanized Infantry Battalion, 554th Engineer Battalion, Iligan City Police Office (ICPO), and residents of Balay Silangan Reformatory was welcomed in the Regional Training Center (RTC) Iligan by TESDA Mindanao Cluster Head Director Lorenzo Macapili, TESDA Region 10 Director Tarhata Mapandi, TESDA Lanao del Norte Provincial Director Noralaine Rasul, and RTC Iligan OIC Administrator Mario Labisig along with key government officials on Thursday, August 6.
TESDA Mindanao Cluster Head Director Lorenzo Macapili emphasizes that the training of trainers is a strategy to equip members of the PNP and AFP so that they could help TESDA and other national line agencies in the implementation of Executive Order 70 which institutionalizes a ‘whole-of-nation' approach in attaining inclusive and sustainable peace.

Macapili said the training program is in line with the memorandum of agreement (MOA) inked by TESDA with the Department of National Defense (DND) and the Philippine National Police (PNP).
Under the MOA, TESDA will provide free skills training, assessment, and issue certifications to qualified DND and PNP personnel who have undergone skills training and Trainers Methodology Course.
The trained personnel, on the other hand, will help TESDA in training and empowering former rebels, Indigenous People (IPs), and other members of remote communities.
