MANILA —<\/strong>\u00a0The Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) is allotting 3,000 scholarship slots for members of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) and the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF).<\/p>\n

“This is the first time we have allotted scholarship slots for them,” TESDA Deputy Director General Alvin Feliciano told the Philippine News Agency (PNA) on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Feliciano said the move aims to help uplift the lives of members of the MILF and MNLF, by providing them free training and assessment.<\/p>\n

“We want them to get jobs or livelihood, and also to make them active participants of various government programs,” he added.<\/p>\n

Those who will avail of the scholarship can choose from such courses as agriculture, automotive, construction, tourism, metals and engineering, heating, ventilation, air-conditioning and refrigeration, semiconductor, electronics, furniture and fixtures, garment and textile, health, and social services.<\/p>\n

These courses can be taken within 40 days or less, according to TESDA.<\/p>\n

The agency eyes MILF and MNLF members from Lanao del Sur, Maguindanao, Sulu, Basilan, Tawi-Tawi, and Zamboanga to benefit from this program. They will also be provided with training support fund.<\/p>\n

All they have to do is to go to the TESDA office in their areas, and enlist themselves.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, TESDA had also provided scholarships for communist rebel returnees.<\/p>\n

“We have offered the same program to the members of the CPP-NPA (Communist Party of the Philippines-New People’s Army),” Feliciano said, pointing out that this time, the agency has allotted slots for the MILF and MNLF.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
