As chairman on the committee on Education, Science, and Technology, Trade and Industry, and Livelihood, Labor and Employment, I will work to improve Talisaynons’ educational capacity. Since education is the process of receiving or giving systematic instruction, especially at school or institution, it becomes the basic and paramount consideration before we go to the field of labor and employment. In this regard, we will see a connection between the two that will be favorable to the people of Talisay.
First, I already requested that Talisay City College (TCC) offer additional subjects or courses that will then meet the qualifications and job descriptions for our future labor force when it comes to hiring.
Second, we will connect businesses here in Talisay and request from their good offices that they hire atleast sixty percent (60%) of their labor force should be Talisaynons, or if possible, one hundred percent (100%) as the case may allow as such. But this is just a mere request because we cannot interfere with business owners’ mangement prerogatives and discretion who runs their businesses.
Lastly, we will also ascertain weaknesses with our current education and business setups, respectively, so that we can adapt a harmonious way of approaching my two (2) committee chairmanships.

“The job of a Sangguniang Kabataan Federation President has always been a very tough challenge in its own right. As the SK Chairman of my own barangay, I always do my best as an overseer, to maintain, and to check and improve, if possible, within the best of my capabilities, all Sangguniang Kabataan-related events and activities in which my co-SK Officers and I may produce or have held on the past.
At the same time, as the SK Federation President in the City of Talisay, my responsibilities remain the same in principle but the scope of these responsibilities reach all SK Councils in every single barangay in the city.
The most challenging period of my time being the SK Federation President was to be able to maintain my functionality during the start of the global pandemic last
2020. The youth development activities that we were all used to have require lots of physical interactions and outdoor engagements but since Coronavirus happened, it limited us to that aspect and lots of awaited SK-related activities were put to a halt. Like all other organizations in general, we have to look for ways to continue our services despite the hardships that the pandemic has brought. As a result, we became innovative and integrative in our ways. We were able to conduct activities successfully all while following the global pandemic ATF protocols that the national government has imposed, and we were able to continue that way for the consecutive years up to present day.”
