NOW IN APARRI POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE: Provincial Director Romeo O. Talosig personally distributed the toolkits of 23 trainees in Tailoring NC II under the Special Training for Employment Program (STEP). He was assisted by Ms. Josephine N. Cabrera, Supervising TESD Specialist and Renato D. Ubiña, A.P.I.’s Vocational School Administrator III.

PD Talosig emphasized the proverb that Secretary Isidro S. Lapeña is advocating “Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime”. Giving them food won’t allow them to sustain their daily living but teaching them how to fish will definitely give them a daily source of living. TESDA is equipping its trainees with skills in order for them to use as their source of income and these toolkits will help them as they start their new venture.

The toolkit is composed of the following: Portable Sewing Machine, Fabric cutting shears, Plastic Ruler, French Curve & Tailor’s L Square.
