2015 Edition TESDA: the Authority in Technical Education and Skills Development Republic Act No 2015 Edition TESDA: The Authority in Technical Education and Skills Development Republic Act No. 7796, otherwise known as the Technical Education and Skills Development Act of 1994, declares the policy of the State to provide relevant, accessible, high quality and efficient technical education and skills development (TESD) in support of the development of high quality Filipino middle-level manpower responsive to and in accordance with Philippine development goals and priorities. The Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) is tasked to manage and supervise TESD in the Philippines. Vision TESDA is the leading partner in the development of the Filipino work- force with world-class competence and positive work values. Mission TESDA provides direction, policies, programs and standards towards quality technical education and skill development. Values Statement We believe in demonstrated competence, institutional integrity, personal commitment and deep sense of nationalism. Quality Policy "We measure our worth by the satisfaction of the customers we serve" Through: Strategic Decisions Effectiveness Responsiveness Value Adding Integrity Citizen focus Efficiency MESSAGE TESDA recognizes that whatever strides the Philippine technical vocational education and training (TVET) sector has achieved through the years cannot be solely attributed to the Agency. These accomplishments are results of the concerted efforts of all stakeholders who share the vision of developing the Filipino workforce that is armed with competencies that respond to the challenges of the new global economic landscape. The Agency therefore continues to expand and strengthen partnership with various groups and institutions. These partnerships have paved the way to improved public perception on TVET and TESDA and better opportunities to its graduates. May these partnerships continue to bind TESDA and its partners in the pursuit of world-class competencies for every Filipino worker and inclusive growth to all Filipinos. Maraming salamat, TESDA partners! IRENE M. ISAAC Director General FOREWORD This Directory of TESDA Partners is the Agency’s simple gesture of recognizing its partners on their contribution in improving the delivery of TVET that likewise helps sustain the government’s efforts towards socio-economic development. As a result of the initial efforts of the Partnerships and Linkages Office (PLO) in documenting TESDA’s partnerships from 2010 up to the present is this Directory containing the profile of close to a thousand partners working closely with TESDA in various parts of the country. The partners are from industry associations, companies, institutions, non-government organizations, local government units, national government agencies and development programs such as scholarships, skills training, assessment and certification, and promotion and advocacy, among others. Through this Directory, we hope that other stakeholders would be encouraged to look into their requirements and resources and consider TESDA as a strategic partner in achieving their goals while at the same time contributing to the development of the community where they operate. We are optimistic that the number of our partners would increase as the various stakeholders have recognized the value and importance of TVET in transforming people’s lives towards the “Masayang Pagbabago” being espoused by the Agency.

Stevensona, Arnold Tanoy, Portia Villarante and Pierre Morissensb a- Department of Agricultural & Food Economics, University of Reading, PO Box 237, Reading RG6 6AR. b- Coopération Internationale en Recherche Agronomique pour le Développement (CIRAD), Montpellier, France. Correspondence : [email protected] Abstract: After reviewing the rather thin literature on the subject, we investigate the relationship between aquaculture and poverty based on a case study of five coastal communities in the Philippines. The analysis relies on a data set collated through a questionnaire survey of 148 households randomly selected in these five communities. The methodological approach combines the qualitative analysis of how this relationship is perceived by the surveyed households and a quantitative analysis of the levels and determinants of poverty and inequality in these communities. There is overwhelming evidence that aquaculture benefits the poor in important ways and that it is perceived very positively by the poor and non-poor alike. In particular, the poor derive a relatively larger share of their income from aquaculture than the rich, and a lowering of the poverty line only reinforces this result. Further, a Gini decomposition exercise shows unambiguously that aquaculture represents an inequality-reducing source of income. We believe that the pro-poor character of brackish water aquaculture in the study areas is explained by the fact that the sector provides employment to a large number of unskilled workers in communities characterized by large surpluses of labour.

  • Kalibo Mangroves Eco-Park an Environmental Marvel by Jun N
    Features Biodiversity Kalibo mangroves eco-park an environmental marvel By Jun N. Aguirre - July 30, 2017 In Photo: Visitors tour the dense mangrove forest in Bakhawan Eco-Park in New Buswang, Kalibo, Aklan. KALIBO, Aklan—The Kalibo Bakhawan Eco-Park, a mangrove forest in Kalibo, Aklan, in Western Visayas region, is helping the town mitigate disasters, such as flooding and air pollution. Medelyn Quadra of the Provincial Environment and Natural Resources Office (Penro) said it also balances the ecology of the province. The exposed roots of mangrove trees. The 220-hectare mangrove forest in Barangay Old Buswang in Kalibo is rich in biodiversity being a habitat of a variety of species, such as fishes, shellfish, crabs and birds, and help protect the area against natural disasters and siltation, and a nutrient enhancer, among others. Quadra, in a recent science journalists’ forum led by the Department of Science and Technology in Kalibo, said Aklan is rich in mangrove species. The world has 70 mangrove species, while the Philippines has 35 where 26 can be found in Aklan. Each mangrove tree is an incredible carbon sink, she said. “It helps minimize air pollution brought about by the transport system in the flourishing tourism industry [by absorbing carbon dioxide],” Quadra, who is in charge of mangrove protection in the province, told the BusinessMirror in a recent interview. According to the local government of Kalibo, more than 3,000 units of tricycles roam around the town, especially during daytime. The number did not include vans, jeepneys and other transportation modes. Quadra said the mangrove forest “was cited by the Climate Reality Project [CRP] for [being a best defense] against flooding, especially during supertyphoons.” She was referring to Supertyphoon Yolanda in 2013 that ravaged the Visayas area.

Prognosis/ rehabilitation phase INTRODUCTION The main function of the respiratory system is to move air into the lungs so that oxygen can enter the body and carbon dioxide can be inhaled. Several pulmonary disorders can affect the airways. Their pathophysiology differs but these diseases are characterized by limited airflow. Airflow is limited when air walls are thickened, airway lumen is obstructed by secretions, increasing resistance, and smooth muscle of the airways is activated, causing bronchoconstriction. Limited airflow increases the work of breathing and residual volume of the lungs as air is trapped behind narrowed or collapsed airways. Asthma is a chronic inflammatory respiratory disorder that causes recurrent episodes of wheezing, breathlessness, chest tightness and cough, especially at night or in the early morning. These asthma episodes are associated with airflow limitation or obstruction that is reversible either spontaneously or with treatment.
