CITY OF SAN FERNANDO, Pampanga – At least 200 trainees graduated from the Automotive Servicing Program of the Provincial Government on Monday, September 29, 2025.
The trainees completed a six-month training program conducted by the Pampanga Manpower Training Center in partnership with Foton Motors Philippines. Upon completion, each graduate received their Automotive NC I and NC II certificates.
Governor Lilia “Nanay” Pineda and Vice Governor Dennis “Delta” Pineda, together with the Sangguniang Panlalawigan led the distribution of cash incentives to the graduates to help them transition smoothly into the workforce.
One of the program’s success stories is Ronaile Sagum, 26, who has been employed for four months as an Operations Dealer at Foton Motors Philippines after completing the program.
“Sobrang thankful po ako sa PMTC, dito po sa programa nina Nanay `at Vice Gov, marami po talaga silang natulungang mga tao. Sobrang sayo po kasi nung nagtratraining ako, pangarap ko po talagang makapasok sa Foton,” he said.
Of the 200 graduates, about 70% are now employed. To ensure inclusivity, Governor Pineda emphasized that those who have yet to secure jobs will be profiled and integrated into the Sustainable Livelihood Program of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD).
Graduates also received national certification from TESDA, further validating their skills and enhancing their employability.
This initiative highlights the Provincial Government’s strong commitment to equipping Kapampangans with the skills, certifications, and support needed to move from training to meaningful employment.
