By Robert E. Roperos

BUTUAN CITY, March 13 – Following the pronouncement made by Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA)-Surigao del Sur Provincial Director Rey M. Cueva on the agency’s intervention program for former rebels (FRs), the agency on Friday launched the skills training and livelihood programs in Brgy. Tina, San Miguel, Surigao del Sur.

According to TESDA-Caraga Regional Director Florencio F. Sunico, Jr., the activity primarily aimed to empower FRs through skills training and livelihood.

“After the training, they will now have an access to employment since they have already acquired specific skills which is needed in skilled works,” Sunico said.

Sunico also pointed out that the activity is aimed at reintegrating and mainstreaming of FRs where they will be provided with livelihood opportunities because after the training, some of them will be receiving toolkits enough to start a small business.

Participated in by 58 FRs from the municipalities of San Miguel and Lanuza in Surigao del Sur, the program is initiated by the 36th Infantry Battalion, Provincial Government Office of Surigao del Sur, Congressional Office - 1st District, TESDA with partner agencies such as the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE), and Local Government Unit of San Miguel.

The training of FRs is part of the program of Sec. LapeΓ±a to provide intervention to FRs and provide post training and livelihood facilitation to all graduates, including those from the marginalized sector.

This is also in support to the flagship program of President Rodrigo R. Duterte particularly “inclusive growth” and “Tunay na Pagbabago”. (TESDA Caraga/PIA Caraga)
