Surigao City spearheads skills training program
December 17, 2009The city government here once again showed its commitment to help its constituents alleviate from poverty through a skills training program.
December 11 marked the culmination of the three months training of the 34th batch consisting of 294 trainees of the Livelihood Training and Productivity Center (LTPC) managed and operated by the city government of Surigao. Given recognition during the graduation ceremony are the 32 NC II passers. Mr. Rodrigo de Villa, Provincial Director of TESDA explained the relevance of the National Certification (NC) II in terms of security of employment and as an entrepreneur.
Meanwhile, City Mayor Alfonso Casurra, in his commencement address, underscored the role of LTPC in the lives of the trainees composed of out of school youths, as well as unemployed college graduates and even former LGU officials. He acknowledged that the center still needs to upgrade its facilities to better serve the people. The limited resources of the city government did not pause any hindrance in delivering these types of services to the community. Mayor Casurra likewise encouraged whoever becomes the Mayor in 2010 to maintain and sustain the operation of the LTPC because of the significant role the center is playing in the lives of those who are in need of different livelihood skills.
Since the start of the operation of the training center in 1998, in partnership with the Helping Foundation Inc., around 10,200 have already graduated and a number are already engaged in their own businesses, while the others are already employed abroad.
Courses offered in the center are: basic and advance computer education, basic micro-computer repair/servicing, Shield Metal & Arc Welding, Gas Tungsten and Arc Welding, Gas Welding, Building Wiring Installation, Food Technology, Beauty Care, Sewing, Art and Sign, Handicraft and Basic Electronics, among others.

Posted by Factory Coach Outlet at April 11, 2011, 8:15 pmAt last firemen have put out a big forest fire in California. Since then, they have been trying to find out how the fire began. Forest fires are often caused by broken glass or by cigarette ends which people carelessly throw away. Yesterday the firemen examined the ground carefully, but were not able to find any broken glass. They were also quite sure that a cigarette end did not start the fire. This morning, however, a firemen accidentally discovered the cause. He noticed the remains of a snake which was wound round the electric wires of a 16,000-volt power line. In this way, he was able to solve the mystery. The explanation was simple but very unusual. A bird had snatched up the snake from the ground and then dropped it on to the wires. The snake then wound itself round the wires. When it did so, it sent sparks down to the ground and these immediately started a fire.
