TESDA Aklan in partnership with the Assn. of TVET Schools in Aklan (ATSA) marked 11th Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) Month Anniversary with a “Plant for Life” Project at Isla Kapispisan, a mangrove reforestation project of the Aklan State University-School of Fisheries and Marine Resources in New Washington, Aklan on August 25, 2005. Led by Dir. Lorena Yunque of TESDA, Mr. Bobby Arguelles of Panay Technological College and Ms. Cecil de la Cruz of San Lorenzo College, TVET school administrators and officials, as well as TESDA staff planted bakhawan propagules in an act of social volunteerism – people helping themselves for sustainable resource management and improved quality of life.
The “Plant for Life” project at Isla Kapispisan is a prelude to a province wide project of Congressman Joeben Miraflores to be implemented by TESDA, ATSA and DENR, dubbed “Be A Bamboo Banker – Save the Aklan Riverbank”. Cong. Miraflores will finance the seedlings worth P200,000.00 while ATSA schools will each adopt a portion of the Aklan riverbank to be planted with the appropriate bamboo species. Bamboo has been recommended to support the rising bamboocraft industry in Aklan.
TESDA – Aklan has been promoting “Plant for Life” program to increase TVET stakeholders’ involvement in the care of the environment and in ensuring sustainability of local resources even as these are utilized for various livelihood and development projects. “Plant for Life” has been integrated in various TVET projects. In Tigpalas, Malinao, Aklan, local residents led by the barangay officials and women’s council planted Amellipale, a vine crop used for bags and other novelty products as part of their Dangal ng Brgy. – Skills Training in the Amellipale plantation to ensure continuing source of the vine materials for their local livelihood.
Due to high demand for Virgin Coconut Oil, LGU – Kalibo funded training on Virgin Coconut Oil Processing at the Kalibo Municipal and Livelihood Training Center. A requirement for the participants will be the planting of coconut seedlings either in their backyard or LGU – Kalibo designated site. The Philippine Coconut Authority, TESDA’s partner in the project will provide the seedlings for the trainees.
In February, 2005, thirty Asian delegates of the International Training Program on Mainstreaming Gender and Development in TVET also planted bakhawan propagules at the Bakhawan Eco-Park. Similarly, another group of TESDA visitors for the National GAD Conference in May 2005 included “Plant for Life” as part of their itinerary in Kalibo, Aklan. /MP
