A group of Don Bosco TVET Center – Balamban staff attended an eight day Pambansang Treyner ng Konstruksyon (PTK) – Training of Trainors (TOT) Course organized by the Philippine Construction Association (PCA).

PCA is the recognized voice of the construction industry in the country. It is a partner for nation-building, a leading exemplar for the industry here and abroad, a catalyst for change and an organization that embodies excellence and knows that prestige comes with performance.

Congratulations to Fr. Brian Butanas, Fr. Lan Guiao, Mr. Frank Amante, Mr. Dominic Magdato and Dr. Eugene Ynclino who qualified as Master Trainers of the Pambansang Treyner ng Konstruksyon.

Fr. Brian Butanas and some Staff attended and participated in another JCI Metro Cebu Uptown and Kabilin organized Bamboo Enterprise and Livelihood Program held at the Asturias Municipal Gym last May 9, 2021.

This is one of the green tvet initiatives of Don Bosco TVET Center Balamban. With the experience gained from all the seminars on Bamboo, DB TVET Center Balamban hopes to offer Bamboo Production NCII to its students.

At the moment, Batch 45 and 46 took turns to prepare bamboo propagules in nearby bamboo nurseries of the Double Ring Farm and D Family Farm.

Early this morning, Fr. Brian and some staff participated in the Mangrove Planting Activity of our Partners JCI Metro Cebu Uptown, Cebu and Zugbuana held at San Roque Springs, San Roque Asturias Cebu. The group planted the locally called “Bakauan Lalaki” whose scientific name is “Rhizophora Apiculata Blume” of the “Rhizophoraceae” family of mangroves.

The Mangroves seems to be the only species of trees in the world that can tolerate salt water. They are also the habitat of thousands of fish species from 1 inch gobies to 10 foot sharks. They also serve as a natural buffer against STORM SURGE.

Fr. Brian Butanas SDB together with Fr. Lan Guiao SDB, Mr. Frank Amante (Instructor) Mr. Dominic Magdato (Volunteer) and Dr. Eugene Ynclino IV (Consultant) started their first day of training of the Train-The-Trainer (TTT) Program of the Pambansang Treyner Konstruksyon (PTK). Those who have taken the TM I of TESDA are credited as RPL for the In-Company Training Program (ICTP. The graduates of this course will become part of the PCA-certified pool of trainers who are industry practitioners, training consultants and field experts in construction.
