DCDO AND PTC-DAVAO CONDUCT COORDINATION MEETING FOR BEPA PROGRAM

On July 4, 2024, the Provincial Training Center - Davao and Davao City District Office conducted a coordination meeting and profiling activity for Electrical Installation and Maintenance NC II trainees under the Barangay Electrician Practitioners Association (BEPA) program. This significant event occurred across three Local Government Units in Marilog District, Davao City: Brgy. Baganihan, Brgy. Datu Salumay, and Brgy. Buda.

The meeting aimed to recognize the existing electricians within the community to provide skills training and to help them secure their national certificates. Additionally, the initiative sought to prepare these individuals to serve as official barangay electricians in their respective communities. This approach not only enhances the skills of local electricians but also contributes to community development by ensuring each barangay has qualified electrical practitioners.

PTC-Davao Center Administrator Engr. Sammy S. Cameros led the activity alongside its Vocational Instruction Supervisor Designate Jonathan D. Samillano, DCDO Special Project Focal Francis Rey Q. Buñawan, and BEPA member Allan M. Salon.

This program represents a momentous step towards professionalizing local electricians and improving electrical services in rural areas. By combining skills enhancement with community service, the program aspires to create a sustainable model for developing skilled professionals who are deeply connected to their local communities. The success of this program could potentially serve as a blueprint for similar initiatives in other technical fields, further contributing to the overall development and safety of barangays across the region.
