SECTION 4, paragraph g of the Expanded Senior Citizens Act entitles our seniors to educational assistance.
Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (Tesda) Director General Jose Francisco “Kiko” Benitez has ensured that this provision of the law is being implemented. Although much more needs to be done, we are impressed.
Bilang kinatawan ng mga nakatatanda, kinikilala namin ang pagsisikap ni Secretary Kiko Benitez na mabigyan ng pagkakataong makapag-aral at makapag-trabaho ang ating mga lolo’t lola. Hindi lang ito tungkol sa pagkatuto, kundi sa pagpapanatili ng dignidad at pag-asa sa aming hanay. Mahalaga ito lalo na sa panahong marami sa mga nakatatanda ang nais pang maging produktibo at makapag-ambag sa lipunan.
We add our voice to those who support that Secretary Benitez stays on as Tesda director general, allowing him to continue doing good work and providing public service at Tesda.
