✨ Groundbreaking Progress for Western Visayas ✨
MIAP Iloilo at the Forefront of TVET Innovation! 🇵🇭✨
It was a historic day for technical education in the region! ✨
MIAP Iloilo President, Engr. Bonnie D. Degala, PME, MMBM, was honored to participate in the Groundbreaking Ceremony of the Regional TVET Innovation Center (RTIC) in Iloilo City, led by TESDA Secretary Kiko Benitez. ✨
As an industry partner, MIAP Iloilo joined the "Symbolic Turning of the Soil," marking the start of a premier hub focused on cutting-edge innovation in welding, steel fabrication, and farm mechanization—sectors at the very heart of our association. ✨
We extend our deepest gratitude to TESDA, to the Acting Regional Director for TESDA VI, Dr. Esther B. Babalo and to the Acting Chief of the TESD Specialist/Training Center Administrator, Donnabelle F. Sollesta of RTC-Iloilo for the invitation to deliver a message of support. ✨
We are inspired by Secretary Kiko’s reminder that "hands-on skills are not second class"—they are the practical foundation of our nation's progress. ✨
"Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower." ✨
— Steve Jobs
Our Commitment:
MIAP Iloilo remains steadfast in its partnership with TESDA to equip the Ilonggo workforce with the skills needed for the Fourth Industrial Revolution. We challenge all our members and partners to continue collaborating; together, we are not just building facilities—we are building the future of the Philippines. ✨
