A total of 25 students from the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) program in San Jose, Batangas expressed their gratitude to Senators Alan Peter and Pia Cayetano during their graduation ceremony at the Barangay Lalayat Covered Court on February 8, 2024.
“To Senator Alan at Ate Pia Cayetano, lubos po kaming nagpapasalamat mula dito sa San Jose na binigyan niyo po kami ng pagkakataon na magkaroon ng free driving course,” class president Joey Bog Moog said.
The sibling senators had provided allowances and tool kits to all 25 scholars. The graduates were presented with certificates and received Cayetano In Action (CIA) shirts.
“Malaking tulong po ito for our future employment and maging sa pagtatayo po ng aming negosyo sa mga susunod na panahon,” he added.
The celebration highlighted the achievements of the graduates from the TVI: Regional Training Center (RTC)-CALABARZON who successfully completed the DRIVING NC II Qualification.
