BPI Foundation Inc., the social development arm of the Bank of the Philippine Islands , announced it provided livelihood training and employment opportunities to 43 unemployed and underemployed individuals from underserved communities in Tacloban, Leyte through its technical-vocational program.
The organization said the scholars each received a Certificate of Competency from the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority Leyte Provincial Office and a Certificate of Training from the Tesda Region 8 Training Center. These scholars are composed of mothers, out-of-school youths and unemployed individuals who are community members of the National Housing Authority relocation sites in Tagpuro, Santa Elena, Guadalupe and Saint Francis in Tacloban.
“We subscribe to the saying that if you give a man food, you feed him for a day. But if you teach a man to produce food, you feed him for a lifetime,” BPI Foundation Executive Director Owen L. Cammayo was quoted in the statement as saying. “That is what we try to do through our tech-voc program.”
