In Davao City, a cutting-edge vocational training center opens

 



Craft Learning Hub Training facility is a dynamic facility for skill enhancement training and assessment, located in Davao City.

 Craft Learning Hub President Albert Lumanlan, Executive Vice President Mike Trinidad, and Center Administrator Kristina Libang led the institution's blessing and inaugural ceremony on Monday, March 18, at the Grandland Building in R. Castillo. 



The City Government of Davao was represented by distinguished Councilors Tek Ocampo, Bonz Militar, Sweet Advincula, and Louie Bongguyan. 

 


In a written message, Mayor Sebastian Duterte congratulates the Craft Learning Hub and Training Center on its grand opening in Davao City. He says that the cutting edge vocational training center and learning hub will encourage people from all backgrounds to acquire specialized skills, improve their capabilities, and seize new opportunities for their personal and professional growth.


"Let us celebrate the opening of these facilities and the beginning of endless possibilities and dreams for Dabawenyos to embrace the chances that await us, let us work hand in hand in building a resilient and progressive community, Daghang salamat," Duterte's message read.


The launch of the Craft Learning Hub, according to Councilor Ocampo, will strengthen and supplement Davao City's current training facilities and educational institutions by offering chances for skill development and self-empowerment.


 With an eye toward future partnerships and cooperative projects that will benefit Dabawenyos, Ocampo and the other Councilors reaffirm their support for the recently established organization. On behalf of himself and his partners, Lumanlan expressed his sincere appreciation to everyone, but especially to the driving force behind the establishment of the training center and learning hub.


"I extend my deepest gratitude to all those who have contributed to bringing this vision to life, the instructors, the staff, the partners, and, most importantly, you, our cherished stakeholders, together, let us embark on a voyage of discovery, innovation, and endless possibility" Lumanlan, in his speech, said.

"And now, as Craft Learning Hub finally opens its doors, we bear witness to the fruit of our labor, beacon of hope and opportunity for the people of Davao and beyond," she added.

Senators Want a Probe on Alleged Discrepancies in the MILF Decommissioning Process





Recently, senators questioned the alleged "discrepancy" in the quantity of weapons that former fighters for the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) had surrendered as part of the peace agreement that the government and the separatist rebels had made. Sen. Jinggoy Estrada, who was presiding over a Senate national defense committee meeting, gave Presidential Peace Adviser Carlito Galvez Jr. instructions to submit a report on the progress of the MILF's armed wing, the Bangsamoro Islamic Armed Forces (BIAF), deactivation process.

Sen. Imee Marcos made the observation that, since the government and MILF signed the Comprehensive Agreement on Bangsamoro in 2014, which ultimately resulted in the establishment of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) in 2019, only 12,000 of the approximately 40,000 BIAF fighters had been rendered inactive.

The decommissioning of the BIAF started following the establishment of the Bangsamoro Transition Authority, the BARMM's temporary governing body made up primarily of former MILF officials.

However, Marcos stated that she observed that 26,132 former BIAF fighters only turned in 4,625 firearms overall, receiving P100,000 in cash assistance in exchange for giving up their weapons.

In addition, "some of those who surrendered looked too old to be combatants," according to Marcos. Sen. Raffy Tulfo claimed that discrepancies in the quantity of weapons turned in and disarmed by MILF rebels demonstrated anomalies in the decommissioning procedure carried out by the Office of the Presidential Adviser on Peace, Reconciliation, and Unity.
