28 April2026 โ€” In a move to solidify technical-vocational education in the province, the TESDA Samar Provincial Office established official contact with Vice Governor Arnold V. Tan at the Provincial Capitol.

Dalawang taon na ang nakararaan, nagtrabaho si Victoriano bilang messman sa galley department sa loob ng isang barkong pangkargamento na pinapatakbo ng Bright Maritime Corporation, isang kumpanya ng barko na nakabase sa Greece. Ang kanyang trabaho sa dagat ay nagbigay ng matatag na kita na nakatulong sa pagtugon sa pang-araw-araw na pangangailangan ng kanyang pamilya, lalo na ng kanyang asawa at dalawang anak.

Nakatakda sana siyang bumalik sa trabaho ngayong Marso; gayunpaman, biglang nagbago ang mga plano. Ayon sa kanyang manning agency, walang available na crew change (โ€œpro-changeโ€) noong panahong iyon. Ito ay higit na dulot ng mga abala sa operasyon dahil sa mga tensyong geopolitikalโ€”partikular na sa mga rutang konektado sa United Arab Emirates (UAE) at mga operasyon ng kargamento mula sa Iran, kung saan naapektuhan ang mga aktibidad ng pagbababa ng kargamento (discharging) dahil sa patuloy na hidwaan sa rehiyon.

Sa gitna ng kawalang-katiyakang ito, pinili ni Victoriano na huwag maging idle o walang ginagawa. Sa kanyang determinasyong patuloy na magtaguyod para sa kanyang pamilya, naghanap siya ng mga pagkakataon upang mapahusay ang kanyang kasanayan. Nagpasya siyang mag-enroll sa ๐™๐™€๐™Ž๐˜ฟ๐˜ผ ๐™๐™š๐™œ๐™ž๐™ค๐™ฃ๐™–๐™ก ๐™๐™ง๐™–๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™œ ๐˜พ๐™š๐™ฃ๐™ฉ๐™š๐™ง ๐™จ๐™– ๐™๐™–๐™˜๐™ก๐™ค๐™—๐™–๐™ฃ ๐˜พ๐™ž๐™ฉ๐™ฎ, kung saan kasalukuyan siyang kumukuha ng ๐™Ž๐™๐™ž๐™š๐™ก๐™™๐™š๐™™ ๐™ˆ๐™š๐™ฉ๐™–๐™ก ๐˜ผ๐™ง๐™˜ ๐™’๐™š๐™ก๐™™๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™œ (๐™Ž๐™ˆ๐˜ผ๐™’) ๐™‰๐˜พ ๐™„ ๐™จ๐™– ๐™ž๐™ก๐™–๐™ก๐™ž๐™ข ๐™ฃ๐™œ ๐™Ž๐™ฅ๐™š๐™˜๐™ž๐™–๐™ก ๐™๐™ง๐™–๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™œ ๐™›๐™ค๐™ง ๐™€๐™ข๐™ฅ๐™ก๐™ค๐™ฎ๐™ข๐™š๐™ฃ๐™ฉ ๐™‹๐™ง๐™ค๐™œ๐™ง๐™–๐™ข (๐™Ž๐™๐™€๐™‹) ๐™จ๐™˜๐™๐™ค๐™ก๐™–๐™ง๐™จ๐™๐™ž๐™ฅ.

Sa pamamagitan ng pagsasanay na ito, hangad ni Victoriano na magbukas ng mga bagong pinto para sa trabahoโ€”maging lokal man o sa ibang bansa. Nanatili siyang umaasa na ang mga kasanayang kanyang natatamo ay magbibigay sa kanya ng mas magandang oportunidad at mas matatag na kinabukasan para sa kanyang pamilya. Ang kanyang kuwento ay sumasalamin sa katatagan, kakayahang umangkop, at ang hindi matatawarang dedikasyon ng mga manggagawang Pilipino na malampasan ang mga pagsubok para sa mas mabuting buhay.

30 April 2026 โ€“ The TESDA Regional Training Center-Tacloban partnered with Police Regional Office 8 (PRO8) for their virtual 16-Day Revitalized-Pulis Sa Barangay (R-PSB) Training.

The session was attended by RTC Administrator Primo V. Regis Jr. and Registrar Eleanor Gillamac, who discussed the various TESDA programs and services that officers can facilitate within their respective barangays. By equipping PRO8 personnel with the necessary information, we ensure that government services are felt where they matter most.

23-24 April 2026 โ€” The TESDA - Balangiga National Agricultural School (BNAS) successfully underwent a comprehensive Compliance Audit for its Assessment Center covering the following qualifications: Agroentrepreneurship NC II, Animal Production (Poultry-Chicken) NC II, Bartending NC II, Bread and Pastry Production NC II, Driving NC II, Electrical Installation and Maintenance NC II, Electronic Products Assembly and Servicing NC II, Food and Beverage Services NC II, Masonry NC II, Organic Agriculture Production NC II, Photovoltaic Systems Installation NC II, Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) NC II, and Tile Setting NC II. Simultaneously, the institution also underwent Program Registration for Agroentrepreneurship NC II, Trainers Methodology Level I, and Bookkeeping NC III.

The audit, conducted by Team 9, aimed to evaluate the institutionโ€™s compliance with established standards for both Assessment Center operations and Program Registration.
