TECHNICAL EDUCATION AND SKILLS DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY LANAO NORTE NATIONAL AGRO-INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL ANNUAL ACCOMPLISHMENT REPORT January – December 2016 Introduction/Brief Profile Team LNNAIS fold sleeves in synergy for the year 2016. A year that boosts anew with a leadership that introduces for big changes in the national government and cascades down to the frontliners. Believing and supporting to the national agenda is a sure aim and automatic adaptability to institutional goals is a focused strategy in attaining and surpassing our targets as proudly presented in this report. I. TESD Policy Services LNNAIS runs first capability building program at the Inter-Franciscan Spirituality Center in Josefina, Zamboanga del Sur on March 21-23, 2016 participated by twenty-eight employees. The venue was secluded, tranquil and devoid of mundane distractions that enhances focus, reflection and enjoyment among the participants. The three-day workshop aimed at strengthening intra-office relationship and deepening work-related processes to understand the organization better and empower people with information. The gauge for effectiveness of this program is measured in the smooth attainment of all our targets throughout the year. Steadfast to support provincial operations, we hosted two Provincial Technical Education and Skills Development Committee (PTESDC) meetings on April 14, 2016 and October 14, 2016. Both meetings were nested in our Administration Office in Tubod extension campus.

TESD Regulatory Services Continuous compliance to the requirements set in the training regulations was observed and submission to the Technical Audit on September 28-29, 2016 was set headed by Ms. Wilma Roque. The said audit would prove that the shop layout requirements as well as the existence of training tools, equipment and facility are within the standards. The technical auditors meticulously hopped from one workshop to another and from our extension campus to the main campus. Generally, the findings of such audit gave us rooms to improve in some aspects as well as to sustain the advantages. The auditors took relaxation as they walk through the blossoming garden of vegetables in the Agricultural Crops Production practical work area before they left off. IV.Operating Unit Initiatives In appreciation to the many reforms of the bureaucracy, the expertise of other agencies were tapped. On February 3, 2016, the Philippine National Police (PNP) ramped up an information drive in support to Women’s Month celebration. Two topics were emphasized regarding the awareness campaign in the rights of women as merited in R.A. 9262 known as the Violence Against Women and Children as well as RA 9208 also known as Anti Human Trafficking. It was participated by the trainees and employees. The activity urged the participants to recognize the different acts of violence in any form and how to prevent those crimes from happening with the collaboration of the law enforcers. Safety is a byword across all occupations. With this, LNNAIS staff and trainees joined fire drill conducted by the fire marshals in the municipality of Tubod as they advocated the year’s theme, “Kaligtasan sa sunog: Alamin, gawin at isabuhay natin”. Alertness, vigilance, and pro-activeness to fight destructive fire was encouraged and that fire prevention is a responsibility not just for firefighters but for all. VSA Vicente E. Cruz demonstrated and observed the performance of staff and trainees during the entire activity; from the symposium to the drill on this sunny afternoon of March 3, 2016. On June 22, 2016, the Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council voluntarily oriented the trainees and staff about the angst of nature during earthquakes, flood and other calamities as well as the proper actions to counter these emergencies. An earthquake drill followed after the orientation that culminated the activity. The Philippine National Red Cross, Lanao del Norte Chapter gave a short symposium on Basic Life Support as one of the opening activities during the TESDA Anniversary weeklong celebration on August 23-26, 2016. Trainees and staff jointly participated in the demonstration of giving first aid after a short lecture. The lecture includes ways on performing foreign airway obstruction management, rescue breathing and cardio-pulmonary resuscitation This aims to equip the participants with the knowledge, skills and confidence to perform management to a person whose breathing and heartbeat comes to a sudden stop. To show off the abundance of agriculture despite the challenging statistics of enrolment, the Vegetable Expo on October 11, 2016 concluded that our flagship programs always takes the lead. More than two hundred participants of different ages from near and far places came for the event. Partnering with East-West Seed Company, we produced a variety of harvest like eggplant, string beans, butternut squash, cucumber, pechay, tomatoes, watermelon, and upo. The program started with a “lakad sa gulayan” so that spectators could come close to the garden and see for themselves the ready to pick produce. The garden experience lasted for almost four hours before the symposium started. While the seminar is ongoing, garden caretakers harvested the vegetables and just as the program ended, the array of freshly picked crops were ready for sale. Indeed, all products were sold out. This marked the second cycle of partnership with East-West Seed company. V. Success Stories 1 Name: Lauro L. Latorza Jr. Qualification: Animal Production NCII Company: Self-Employed Swine Raiser A year ago, Lauro L. Latorza Jr. was just an unemployed resident of Bualan, Tubod, LDN. He had a vision of living a good quality life with his family and giving back to his community. His dream led him to the pigs. Bualan folks oftentimes love pork dishes such as humba, adobo, lechon, etc. Despite the distance and the rolling terrain, Lauro noticed that the people of Bualan would go to the neighboring barangays just to buy pork. He became aware of the scarcity of hogs in their area. So, he studied Animal Production NCII at LNNAIS Main Campus to address the demand of pork in his community. After he finished his schooling last November 2015, Mr. Latorza Jr. was so determined and backed up with his natural entrepreneurial abilities to start his own commercial piggery with only two heads of fattened swine. The knowledge, skills and attitude he learned from TESDA – LNNAIS helped him increase his swine population to 3 sows and 10 heads of fattened hogs in just a few months. Lauro Jr. (28 years old) knew that being his own boss would be no easy task… but for the love of pork, he would dedicate his time to raise quality swine for his community. Passion for 2 SUMPTOUS dishes Name: Winkler T. Chavez Qualifications: Food and Beverage Services NC II Housekeeping NC II Bartending NC II Cookery NC II Bread and Pastry Production NC II Company: Riana’s Snack Inn and Catering Services Winkler is a very domesticated person. He loves to stay in the local scene to help industries improve with the knowledge, skills and right attitude endowed after hurdling all the Tourism Sector occupations that LNNAIS offers. Right after his on-the job training at Hotel Conchita in Cagayan de Oro City, he never miss a day off the job and got an employment as Chef at Ted’s Oldtimer Lapaz Batchoy (Pentfoods Enterprises), Mandaue, Cebu from November 15, 2011 until October 31, 2014. He decided to come home and eventually got another job at Riana’s Snack Inn and Catering Services, again as a Chef effective November 8, 2014 until at present. He have the passion to serve excellent dishes to functions of large events that he could hardly imagine serving ten thousand people of the Emergency Response Unit of Lanao del Norte sometime in June 2015. His sumptuous dishes were served to politicians, PBA players, international motocross competitors, actors, actresses, businessmen, triathlon athletes and the beauties of Miss Earth who recently came to Lanao del Norte. Simply, he hopes to become an entrepreneur someday. Winkler quotes, “If I have to leave this job, I will pursue college in Business Administration and get a degree. By that time, I am capitalizing my passion for sumptuous dishes running a business of my own”. VI.
