On July 18, 2022, Atty. Maisara C. Dandamun-Latiph and MP Bassit Abbas served as guests of honor during the mass graduation of MBHTE-Tesda Lanao Del Sur trainees at Sultans Palace Function Hall, Municipality of Bubong, Lanao Del Sur.
200 vulnerable individuals have officially completed and received their National Certificate II (NC-2) in dress making, bread and pastry product making, and carpentry.
The said program was administered by the Provincial City Manpower Development Center (PCMDC) led by Administrator Insanoray A. Macapaar under the umbrella of the Bangsamoro Scholarship Program for TVET 2021.
In her message, MP Maisara said that “success is not an end goal. Its never-ending process towards happiness and fulfillment and it’s changing because goals change as you grow older. Sa ngayon, you are all successful traininees’ graduates of tiles setting, dress making, bread and pastry production NC II, and so on and so forth. Your acquired skills during your training will be the window of opportunity for all of you. For those who did not graduate college degree, do not ever think you deserve little, hindi lahat na naka graduate ng college ay successful in life today. Marami akong alam na mga negosyante, very successful in life pero hindi sila graduated ng college. I’m telling this for you to realize more na lahat ng gusto mong makuha palaging nasa diskarte yan, nasa mabuting diskarte, determinasyon, at husay sa iyong ninanais na marating with the help of God.”
“Hangad namin na sana’y makatulong sa inyo ang mga na ibinigay sainiyo na benipisyo sainkiyong pamumuhay. Ang Bangsamoro Government at ang aking opisina ay patuloy na susuporta sa mga programang makakatulong sa mga vulnerable na sectors ng Bangsamoro.” She added.
Among the graduates is the 50 vulnerable women from dumpsite in Caniogan, Papandayan, Marawi City who successfully completed the Siyap ko mga Bae: Training for Dressmaking and Baread & Pastry Making under the office of MP Maisara.
“Gusto ko rin e congratulate ang aming mga trainees ng Siyap ko Mga Bae. Ako’y napaka saya sa araw na ito. Noong nakaraang taon ay nagkaroon tayo ng survey sa dumpsite area ng Brgy. Papandayan Caniogan at base doon, nakita natin na karamihan sa mga kababaihan na nakatira doon ay walang sapat na kita o hanapbuhay. Bilang tugon ay nagkaroon ang aking opisina ng programa na tinawag nating SIYAP KO MGA BAE TRAINING PROGRAM. Ang hangarin ng programa na ito ay upang matulongan at mabigyan ng oprtunidad na makatulong sa kanilang pamilya ang mga kababaihan na naninirahan sa nasabing lugar.”
Also present were Ismael Capampangan, administrative officer V of MBHTE-TESDA Lanao Del Sur, and Dir. Nasief Macaraya, representative of MP Diamla Musa.
