CAVINTI, LAGUNA - On December 7, 2021, TESDA Laguna assisted the Philippine Army under the leadership of Col. Cerilo C. Balaoro Jr. on its implementation of the Gender and Development (GAD) program which primarily aims to inspire and encourage uniformed personnel to become more gender-responsive.

Through the active participation of Jacobo Z. Gonzales Memorial School of Arts and Trades (JZGMSAT),  the military members of 202nd Infantry (Unifier) Brigade were trained for Table Skirting and Basic Table Services. With the activity, uniformed personnel will be able to enhance their knowledge and skills on proper table preparation and services which can be utilized both in the workplace and at home. 

Aside from this, the participants may use this as a training intervention to geographically isolated and disadvantaged areas (GIDAS) once they were deployed in the rural communities. With this, they’ll be able to empower the citizens to be self-reliant members of the society since this skill can provide various employment and livelihood opportunities.
