The Agency said the award was given last Aug. 30 in Taguig City during a ceremony that also honored successful tech-voc graduates with the Idols ng TESDA Award.

TESDA said the Kabalikat Awards are given annually to their most active and outstanding partners who have assisted the agency in developing, enhancing, and implementing training programs that have resulted in better employability of Filipino skilled workers.

These include partners from local government units (LGUs); the legislative branch; national government agencies (NGA); government-owned and controlled corporations (GOCCs); non-government organizations (NGOs); private businesses and companies; and, local and international organizations.

TESDA said Villanueva, a former TESDA director general, is an advocate for free education and supported the request of TESDA for more TVET scholarship grants in the Senate. He is also one of the principal authors of Republic Act 11230 or the Tulong Trabaho Act, the implementation of which was designated to TESDA by former President Duterte. The law aims to provide free access to technical vocational education through the Tulong Trabaho Fund.

Aside from Villanueva, TESDA also conferred awards to other legislative partners, such as Marinduque Rep. Lord Allan Jay Q. Velasco, 2nd District Misamis Oriental Rep. Juliet T. Uy, Mandaluyong Rep. Neptali M. Gonzales, and Baguio Rep. Marquez O. Go.

In the LGU category, TESDA awarded the 2022 National Kabalikat Award to Ilocos Sur Provincial Jail; City Governments of Ilagan in Isabela, Talisay in Cebu, and Panabo in Davao del Norte; and Municipal Governments of Guagua in Pampanga, Cainta in Rizal, Juban in Sorsogon, Tubungan in Iloilo, Basey in Samar, Ramon Magsaysay in Zamboanga del Sur, Tampakan in South Cotabato, and Alegria in Surigao del Norte.

For industry partners, TESDA honored Hyundai Santiago City, Camarines Sur II Electric Cooperative, Energy Development Corp., TCO Socio-economic & Environmental Development, Lao Integrated Farms, G-Tecnica Equipment Corporation, and Taganito Mining Corporation.

TESDA Director General Danilo P. Cruz congratulated all Kabalikat awardees and thanked them for their unending to support to TESDA and to the country’s TVET sector especially in this time of pandemic.
