Panasonic awards scholarship to 5 Dualtech trainees as part of its scholarship program in the Philippines marking its 100th anniversary.    

Dualtech scholars from Laguna, Ilocos Sur, and Romblon received scholarship during the 2018 Panasonic Scholarship Award Ceremony for Vocational Category held at Panasonic Auditorium, Taytay Rizal. They are among 41 scholars who are selected by Panasonic scholarship committee from various institutions.    

Thirty five years after Dualtech was founded and thirty years since the first graduates of Dualtech’s two-year Electromechanics course completed their studies, the Dualtech alumni association organized a summit of entrepreneurs among its members who are engaged in technology-based services.

There were 14 exhibitors (all Dualtech graduates turned business owners) who came; about 10 other business owners attended (although they did not present), another 10 managers (also alumni) of various companies and roughly 20 graduates (who plan to put up their own business in the future) all went the rounds of various displayed technologies.

To encourage more students to consider technical vocational career, TESDA featured two Dualtech graduates who shared their humble stories and professional success. TESDA will use their narratives in promotional materials.

Ms. Joyce Dyan Tee, Education Unit Head of Metrobank Foundation, represented GT Foundation during the Commencement Exercises held at Dualtech which highlighted the support given by the foundation to 150 Dualtech scholars.

GT Foundation is a non-stock, non-profit organization of the founder of Metrobank, Chairman George Ty, and his family. The foundation helps in the sector of health, education, environment, and livelihood as its main advocacy for the good of the country. Dr. Ty and his family wants the foundation to assist underprivileged communities by providing the opportunities to a sustainable and decent living.

Lagi nating tandaan na hindi lahat ng pag kakataon ay magugustuhan natin ang trabaho o gawaing ibibigay sa atin. Hindi lahat ng bagay ay naka-ayon sa kagustuhan natin. Matuto tayong mag tiyaga at mahalin ang ating ginagawa, hindi tayo bibigyan ng Panginoon ng problema o gawain na di natin kayang lampasan at higit sa lahat aim higher, wag natin bigyan ng limitasyon ang ating mga sarili. Lagi natin isipin na kaya nating mas higitan pa kung anu man ang meron tayo ngayon. Dadating at dadating ang panahon na makakaramdam tayo ng kagustuhang sumuko,  ngunit lagi nating tandaan na nandyan ang Panginoon upang mahingian natin ng lakas upang mag patuloy sa laban ng buhay. -- DARWIN HERILLA | Awardee, Merit, Outstanding In-school and In-Plant, and Learning Excellence | Trained and employed at Nexperia Philippines
