THE Technical Education and Skills Development Authority has reiterated its commitment to provide improved and more compassionate public service as the government ushers a new era of national development under the Bagong Pilipinas campaign.

TESDA Director General Suharto Mangudadatu reaffirms the agency’s full support to the administration’s newly launched brand of governance as he, joined by over 1000 employees of the agency, participated in the kick-off rally held last January 28 at the Quirino Grandstand in Manila.

In a statement, Mangudadatu highlighted that the role of TESDA in shaping the future of the Filipino workforce is pivotal and in line with the principles of the President’s Bagong Pilipinas leadership.

“Education is another focal point of the Bagong Pilipinas vision. By investing in quality education, the government will be able to empower our kababayans, especially the youth, with the skills and knowledge necessary to thrive in the rapidly changing global landscape. This is a call for us to build a nation that is not just economically prosperous but is also a catalyst for individual empowerment,” Mangudadatu said.

Last year, TESDA launched its new slogan, “Sa TESDA, Lingap ay Maaasahan,” which demonstrates the agency’s stronger commitment to giving our kababayans even better access to quality-assured and globally competitive tech-voc. The slogan communicates to the public TESDA’s aspiration to provide public service with a ‘HEART’ (High-Quality, Effective & Efficient, Accessible, and Relevant TVET).

“Our President, Ferdinand Marcos Jr., called upon us to work with a vision that will guide us to move forward in one direction. Hence, we must back this up with strategies that are aligned with the goals of the President’s campaign,” the TESDA chief said.

“TESDA has successfully reached millions of Filipinos by providing inclusive and free technical vocational education and training nationwide in various training modalities, and we will continue to improve our services moving forward. Sa Bagong Pilipinas, sa TESDA, Lingap ay Maaasahan,” he added.

The Bagong Pilipinas campaign is the overarching theme of the Marcos administration’s brand of governance and leadership, characterized by a principled, accountable, and dependable government reinforced by unified institutions of society.
