Caloocan City Mayor Dale Gonzalo “Along” Malapitan conveyed his excitement for the new opportunities to the newly graduates.

“Congratulations CCMTC graduates! Excited ako sa mga bagong career na tatahakin ng ating mga graduates ngayon. Ang paulit-ulit ko lang naman pong hiling mula pa noong konsehal pa lamang ako, hanap-buhay at kabuhayan para sa mga Batang Kankaloo (Congratulations to the graduates of CCMTC! I am excited about the new careers that our graduates will embark on. My repeated wish since my days as a councilor has always been livelihood and opportunities for the youth of Caloocan),” he said.

He urged them to maximize the skills and knowledge acquired from CCMTC to contribute to the financial well-being of their families.

“Hiling ko po ang tuloy-tuloy na tagumpay para sa inyo at para sa inyong pamilya. Makakaasa po kayo na patuloy ninyong kaagapay ang ating Pamahalaang Lungsod tungo sa kaunlaran at pagbuo ng magandang kinabukasan (I wish you continued success and prosperity for you and your families. Rest assured that you will continue to have the support of our City Government towards progress and the creation of a bright future),” the Mayor said.

The city mayor highlighted the importance of continuous skills training and capability development for residents.

“Malaki po ang Caloocan at siyempre, marami rin po ang mga naghahanap ng trabaho. Kaya mahalaga po na ang mga kababayan natin, matuto ng iba pang mga kakayahan na maaari nilang magamit upang kumita kahit sila ay nasa sariling mga tahanan. Oportunidad lang naman ang kailangan ng mga Batang Kankaloo (Caloocan is indeed a large city, and with that, many people are seeking employment. It's important for our fellow citizens to acquire additional skills that they can use to earn income even while at home. Opportunities abound for the Batang Kankaloo),” he said.
