TPSAT ACTIVELY CO-FACILITATES THE TWO- DAY TRAINING ON BASIC BOOKKEEPING COURSE FOR SK TREASURERS
The Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) goes the extra mile in providing nationwide skills training for SK Treasurers through a two-day Basic Bookkeeping Course for SK Treasurers via TESDA Online Program (TOP).
In line with requirements for the qualification of Sangguniang Kabataan Officials (including SK Treasurers) pursuant to Section 10 of the Republic Act (RA) No. 10742, as amended by RA 11768 and DILG Memorandum Circular No. 2023-167 re Amendment to certain provisions of DILG Memorandum Circular No. 2018-131, relative to the guidelines on Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) Secretary and SK Treasurer appointment, all SK Treasurers all over the country are required to have relative training on bookkeeping.
TESDA Marinduque geared towards the same objective, is seeking to benefit six municipalities and the 210 SK Treasurers of their respective barangays. A training induction program (TIP) was held online on January 26, 2024, to provide orientation and guidance on how SK Treasurers will access the Basic Bookkeeping Course through the TESDA Online Program. The said TIP was attended by the representatives from Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG), Provincial Youth Development Office (PYDO), TESDA MIMAROPA Regional Office, TESDA Marinduque Provincial Office, TESDA Technology Institutions such as Torrijos Población School of Arts and Trades (TPSAT) and Buyabod School of Arts and Trades (BSAT) and duly endorsed SK Treasurers of Marinduque.
The two-day training, conducted on January 27-28, 2024, covered various aspects of basic bookkeeping. The SK Treasurers who completed the online course generated a certificate of completion. The said certificate will serve as proof of taking oath and assumption of post.
In addition to the basic two-day training, SK Treasurers are encouraged to complete the Bookkeeping NC III training and undergo the mandatory assessment within a year to comply with the legal requirements.
TESDA's initiative in providing training and support to SK Treasurers underscores its commitment to empowering local government officials with essential skills and knowledge, contributing to the overall development and progress of communities.
TPSAT SPEARHEADS TREE PLANTING DRIVE TO SUPPORT WOOD CARVING INDUSTRY IN MARINDUQUE
In a heartwarming display of environmental stewardship, Torrijos Población School of Arts and Trades (TPSAT) employees and students came together on January 26, 2024, to embark on a tree planting activity. Their noble mission was to support the wood carving industry in the province of Marinduque, which relies heavily on the Santol tree as a medium for exquisite works of art. The participants enthusiastically planted Santol seedlings, recognizing the urgent need for a sustainable source of this valuable tree. By doing so, they are helping to preserve the art and culture of Marinduque, which is renowned for its intricate sculpture of saints, Marion masks or helmets.
The wood carving industry in Marinduque has a rich history and cultural significance. The province's skilled artisans transform the Santol tree into breathtaking works of art, which are admired by people both locally and internationally. However, the dwindling supply of Santol trees has posed a threat to the sustainability of this industry. The TPSAT tree planting activity is a commendable initiative that addresses this pressing issue. By actively planting santol seedlings, TPSAT is contributing to the long-term preservation of the wood carving industry and the cultural heritage of Marinduque.
TPSAT is grateful to the Kaluppâ Foundation for growing and sharing the Santol seedlings used in this endeavor.
This encouraging action highlights the importance of community involvement in environmental stewardship and cultural preservation. TPSAT's dedication to supporting the wood carving industry through tree planting serves as an inspiring example of how different institutions can make a positive impact on their communities and the environment.
