BJMP LAL-LO – The collaboration between  Aparri Polytechnic Institute and Bureau of Jail Management and Penology – Lallo Municipal Jail is indeed a commendable initiative that had the potential to change lives and contribute to building a safer nation.

Through these skills training programs empowered PDL by equipping them with practical knowledge, vocational skills, and personal development tools. This empowerment fosters self-worth, confidence, and a sense of purpose, reducing the likelihood of reoffending and facilitating successful reintegration into society. These programs enhance their emotional intelligence, decision-making abilities, and interpersonal skills. By gaining these competencies, PDL become better equipped to navigate challenges and make positive choices, both during their incarceration and after release.            

The Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) through the Aparri Polytechnic Institute (API) takes a creative leap by upskilling trainers and stakeholders in the art of Fruit and Vegetable Carving. This initiative was conducted May 22, 2023, at the Altasco Bistro, Tuguegarao City, Cagayan. Recognizing the growing demand for visually appealing dishes, the specialized training program aimed to equip trainers with the expertise needed to teach fruit and vegetable carving techniques effectively for the purpose of including the said skill in the curricula of Cookery NC II and Food and Beverage Services NC II qualifications.

Speaking about the program, Regional Director Vincent Aljon A. Cifra, emphasized the importance of embracing creativity and innovation in the food and tourism industry. He stated that by upskilling trainers and stakeholders in fruit and vegetable carving, we are fostering innovativeness and creativity in food preparation and presentation: an indicator of a vibrant, responsive, and excellent TVET ecosystem. Furthermore, he added that the initiative reflects TESDA’s commitment to empowering individuals and ensuring the sustainability and growth of the food and tourism industry.

The training program is conducted by API through its TTI Advisory Council (TAC) in coordination with the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI) Cagayan Chapter.

      The TESDA-Aparri Polytechnic Institute conducted five-day community-based training in ALS Lal-lo North District. The program’s focus on skills enhancement is particularly significant as it equips participants with practical and marketable abilities. By acquiring new skills, individuals can enhance their employability and broaden their career options, leading to increased economic opportunities and a higher quality of life.

      The ALS Lal-lo North District and TESDA-A.P.I. partnership demonstrate a proactive approach to community development. By offering this training program, they empower individuals to become self-reliant, foster a sense of pride and accomplishment within the community, and lay the foundation for a brighter future.

TESDA-API conducted an orientation to Persons Deprived of Liberty (PDLs) at the Lallo Municipal Jail. They are set to undergo training in Curtain Making. The said training program aims to strengthen the abilities of PDLs while incarcerated and prepare them for their reintegration into the society. Health & security protocols upon entry to the jail facility were strictly observed. A successful orientation program will reduce the chances of recidivism and help PDLs create a better future for themselves.
