Pianing, Butuan City.

The activity was participated by different tribal leaders and 40 IP Youth participants coming from Brgy. Pianing, Anticala, Bugsukan, Butuan City, Las Nieves, Buenavista, Nasipit and Carmen – all identified RCSP barangays in the Province of Agusan del Norte. Also present during the assembly were the men and women in uniform from 402nd IB and PNP PRO13, Mindanao IP Council of Elders Leaders and of course TESDA under the leadership of Regional Director Ashary A. Banto well represented by Ms. Novielita A. Dispo, Supervising TESD Specialist at the same time PRLEC Regional Focal.

Given the chance to share to the IP Youth and to the community, Ms. Dispo of TESDA Caraga underscored Secretary Isidro S. Lapena’s thrust on “TESDA Abot Lahat” ensuring that TESDA services will be more accessible to the marginalize sectors of the community. The agency will continue to serve the community through quality TVET trainings which will eventually provide employment. She also presented the different TESDA scholarship program offerings that our youth can avail.

It was also discussed during the assembly the Brief Introduction on IKSP and Importance of IPs, the 11 Construction materials and Role of IP Youth in Building a Resilient (Ancestral Domain) and IP Youth Participation in the NTF-ELCAC.

The aforementioned Youth Assembly was hosted by the National Commission on Indigenous Peoples (NCIP), Agusan del Norte Provincial Office headed by Engr. Charlyn G. Binghoy, Provincial Officer.

Indeed, the convergence of the difference agencies truly creates a positive impact to community and it lightens the heavy task of the government in addressing the needs of people in the conflict areas in the country.

TESDA Caraga will continue to serve the community, which directly influences the lives of the people and the relevance of the training with the aide given to the community, which paved the way for a productive life in the future to come.
