The House Committee on Higher and Technical Education approved on Monday, Jan. 30, 25 bills that would establish technical vocation training centers in various municipalities and cities in the country.
The House panel, chaired by Baguio City Lone District Rep. Mark Go, passed during its hearing the bills that would create Technical Education and Skills Development Authority training and assessment/ accreditation centers in different parts of the country.
These were authored by Reps. Alan 1 Ecleo, Kristine Alexie Tutor, Arnie Fuentebella, Adrian Michael Amatong, Jose Francisco Benitez, Gerardo Espina Jr., Charisse Anne Hernandez, Joseph Lara, John Tracy Cagas, Harris Christopher Ongchuan, Laarni Lavin Roque, Princess Rihan Sakaluran, Eric Buhain, OLY, Peter John Calderon, Ma. Victoria Co-Pilar, Ed Christopher Go, Mujiv Hataman, Joseph Gilbert Violago, Rudys Caesar Fariñas I, Ferdinand Alexander Marcos, Jose Ma. Zubiri Jr.
However, she noted that under Republic Act 7796, which created the TESDA, its structure is limited to the provisional level only. Balong also raised concerns regarding HB 2047 by Tutor because the bill proposed that the appropriations for the training centers be taken from TESDA’s current fiscal year’s unexpended and unobligated appropriations.
“The LGUs concerned, in consultation with the TESDA, shall set aside from any available local revenue an amount deemed appropriate as annual counterpart fund to support the operation of the Center herein established,” it furthered.
