Don Bosco TVET BalambanARD/PD Floro Ringca inspected Don Bosco TVET Center Balamban for its readiness to conduct training during this pandemic. While awaiting for the TESDA Certificate, DB TVET Center Balamban was advised to proceed to conduct training. The Assessment Center permit will await the the LGU inspection next week.
Councilor Dondon Hontiveros took time to visit one of the Don Bosco TVET Centers in the peripheries – Don Bosco TVET Center Balamban last October 25, 2020. His visit brought a lot of joy to our staff who are basketball fans of former Cebu’s Hotshot. He donated boxes of RESCUE Alcohol to help us prepare to conduct our face to face classes as permitted by TESDA and the LGU.
Don Bosco TVET Center Balamban joined the Archdiocese of Cebu, the St. Francis of Assisi Parish, JCI Metro Cebu Uptown, AMRO and other civic minded organizations in the orientation for Bamboo Enterprise and Livelihood Program.
This will be a big step and great opportunity for networking with ecclesial and civic organizations for the eventual roll-out of the planned Bamboo Production NCII at DB TVET Center Balamban.
MOA signing between DepEd Lapu-lapu and Seraphio.Ph Inc for the latter’s donation of 30 Computer Sets was held at the DedEd Multi-purpose Building B.M. Dimataga St. Lapu-lapu City. DepEd was represented by RD Dr. Salustiano Jimenez and Seraphio.Ph was represented by Dr. Ily Abella.
Seraphio.Ph has partnered with Don Bosco TVET Center Balamban represented by Fr. Brian Butanas for the fabrication and production and the Tech-Voc content of the General Online-Offline Digital Solutions (GOODS) Kiosks.
Our big thanks to Huxevel for the donation of test kits for COVID 19 as Don Bosco TVET Center Balamban is busy preparing and is accepting the challenge of continuing its offering of the best technical vocational education for poor and deserving youth. We must comply with the health protocols of the LGU and of TESDA in order to be able to conduct face to face lessons or Blended Learning to new students – Batch 45.
Don Bosco TVET Center Balamban joined the Holy Family Parish, Luca, Balamban, JCI Metro Cebu Uptown and other partner organizations in the activities of the World Bamboo Day 2020 held at the Holy Family Parish and the World Clean-up Day 2020 held at Buswang Lake, Asturias, Cebu.
Fr. Brian Butanas SDB visits Fr. Vic Labao SJ of Kabilin Nature Farms and Bamboo Center for a future partnership in Bamboo Production NCII Training. Bamboo retains water and sequesters CO2 and converts it to Oxygen more than other trees. Bamboo is now being advocated as a more sustainable source of lumber and a better choice for reforestation. We are hoping that this partnership can become a reality.
Don Bosco TVET Center Balamban is happy to partner with the SIKAD Talisay Group of Dan Canton Salceda, Jr in providing Bike Racks for our front-liners at hospitals like Vicente Sotto, Perpetual Succour, Cebu Doctors Hospital and others.
The partnership helped generate some funds for the food supplies of our 35 Intern Students as part of our COVID 19 strategy to conduct Tech-Voc Training for the poor and deserving Students of the North-Western part of Cebu.
The All-Terrain Medical Relief Organization (AMRO) has chosen Don Bosco TVET Center Balamban as its partner in the sealing of Personal Protective Equipment (PPEs) for our front-liners after it closed its Lahug Operations last March 2020. AMRO donates the PPEs to different hospitals all over the Philippines.
The shortage of PPEs for front-liners have been addressed, and AMRO is now stock-piling PPEs in the event of a second wave of COVID 19 with Don Bosco TVET Center Balamban as its partner.
We also thank AMRO for their continued support to augment the food supplies of our Batch 44 Interns who have been stranded with us since the March Lockdown.
While awaiting for the go-signal from TESDA to conduct face-face classes, the month of August has been busy for Don Bosco TVET Center Balamban. Instructors were sent to different partner companies to comply with the TESDA requirement of Company Exposure for our NTTC Instructors and Supervised In-Plant Training for our Students.
