From the Philippine Information Agency (May 18, 2021): TESDA rolls out PRLEC project in Negros Occ. (By Lorenzo O. Lambatin, Jr.)

NEGROS OCCIDENTAL, May 18 (PIA6) -- The Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) along with various partner government offices recently launched the Poverty Reduction, Livelihood and Employment Cluster (PRLEC) Project dubbed “Barangayanihan Para sa Kauswagan Sang Barangay Carabalan” in Brgy. Carabalan, Himamaylan City.

TESDA Information Officer Jenie Notchite said around 107 participants including Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) personnel and Agrarian Reform Beneficiaries (ARBs) and their families attended the rollout of the training program course on heavy equipment operation.


The conduct of the activity complied with the guidelines and health protocols set by the Inter-Agency Task Force on the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases, said Information Officer Notchite.

TESDA Negros Occidental Acting Provincial Director Romelia Nuezca said Brgy. Carabalan was identified as the recipient of this training program course due to its status as an insurgency-cleared barangay based on the record of the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG).

For his part, TESDA VI Regional Director Jerry Tizon emphasized that the program is part of their agency's effort as the chair of the Poverty Reduction, Livelihood and Employment Cluster (PRLEC) of the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTF-ELCAC) created under Executive Order No. 70

EO 70 primarily seeks to bring government services closer to the people and address problems contributing to insurgency through the whole-of-nation approach.


“This training, as an intervention, is just the beginning and is just one of the programs TESDA offers. We chose Heavy Equipment Operation (Bulldozer) National Competency II course for you because this will be an instrument so that other programs of the government will reach far-flung communities for without roads it will be difficult to bring services to the people,” he added.

Himamaylan City mayor Rogelio Raymund Tongson, Jr. expressed his gratitude to TESDA and its partners for the project. He assured TESDA of his support for whatever development programs that the agency will bring to Himamaylan.

He urged the beneficiaries to finish the training since the National Certificate of TESDA has now become a requirement by the industry.

TESDA beneficiary Mario S. Foldadero lauded the program which he considers a big help not just for himself but also for the community since everyone residing in Sitios Cabalungan, Florete and Canagba-an (project sites) hope to have passable roads. (TESDA/JSC/Lljr/PIA6 Negros Occidental)
