TESDA Bohol writers undergo news, photojournalism writeshop

TAGBILARAN CITY, Bohol, Oct. 11 (PIA) -- From the country’s premier technical skills education authority, there are a lot of good news worth telling. The challenge is how to tell these to the communities.

Knowing this and the need to tell the good news, Technical Education Skills Development Authority (TESDA) Bohol Provincial Director Grace Corazon Castillo directed the office for its key personnel to attend a Training on News Writing and Photojournalism through Office Order 32 series of 2019.

The move is also in support of TESDA's quest for continuous improvement of its Quality Management Systems especially in the field of reporting.

Fourteen TESDA staff attended the training handled by Philippine Information Agency (PIA) in Bohol at the Jjs Seafoods Village on Oct. 8.

PIA has been handing free journalism workshops to schools and interested groups in its effort to improve community consciousness about the duties and responsibilities of news writers.

PIA also gives the same workshops to impart the necessary skills needed to equip communities with the right tools to counter the spread of fake news and biased reporting.

Castillo also instructed the participants from TESDA Provincial Training Centers (PTC) across Bohol to submit a Re-entry Action Plan (REAP) in a bid to make sure that the training does not go to waste.

Training participants include Rochelle delos Reyes, Rosemarie Bantol, Rassel Pagaran and Mark Dennis Tumanda of the Provincial Office.

From PTC Bilar were Nisa Ando and Seth Alexander Caballo of PTC Bilar, while PTC Inabanga sent Leah Alacida and Diosdado Lofranco Jr.

Participants from PTC Jagna include Maria Leilani Caido and Marietta Basmayor while PTC Tubigon sent in Joahnna Mangyao, and PTC Pilar sent Wilfreda Medel, Jessa Varquez and Marichu Cua as co-speaker and secretariat.

TESDA is implementing the government’s Universal Access to Quality Tertiary Education Act as well as the work scholarship programs through the Private Education Student Financial Assistance (PESFA), Training for Work Scholarship (TWSP), and the Special Training for Employment Program (STEP).

From the beneficiaries of these scholarship programs, TESDA hopes their writers can evoke stories and put a face to the projects that the government is giving. (rahc/PIA-7/Bohol)
