April 11-17, 2023: Don Bosco TVET Center Balamban Inc. is conducting a community based training program in Basic Welding and Electricity at Palompon, Leyte upon the request of Mayor Ramon Oñate.

This is an LGU sponsored community based training and we are very thankful to ANCOP for allowing us to use their mobile training vans as long as the training seeks the poor, the lost and the least as our beloved Pope Francis made this challenge for us to go to the peripheries.

The trainees of Don Bosco TVET Center Balamban started their AutoCad classes as additional skills learned at the center aside from Welding and Electricity. Thank you to BDO employees for making this possible. This is inline with DBOTPI’s vision of being a premier benchmark of tech-voc and mission of producing globally competitive good Christian’s and productive citizens.

March 30, 2023. The 10 day Community Based Training (CBT) culminated with a mass presided by the Technical Director of Don Bosco TVET Center Balamban Inc. – Fr. Brian Butanas at Barangay Gargato, Hinigaran Negros Occidental. This CBT is a community project of CFC-ANCOP to reach out to the poor in the peripheries – to seek the poor, the lost and the least.

CFC-ANCOP has partnered with Don Bosco TVET Center Balamban as its training provider.
