Dualtech Presents Institutional Highlights

Dualtech Center, a long-time partner of Hanns Seidel Foundation since its establishment in the Philippines in 1982, was invited to the commemoration of the foundation’s 40-year service and development cooperation in the country.

The event which was held at Dusit Thani Hotel in Makati City brought together HSF’s partners and key stakeholders; anchored on the theme, “40 years of HSF in the Philippines: Impact and Challenges.” Part of the program was “a walk-through exhibit” to showcase the project highlights and activity milestones of non- government agency partners.

“Today, we are all witnesses to another batch of life stories and testimonies of how technical vocational education and training pave the way for turn-around and offer great possibilities for a much brighter future. As the country preps up for the fourth industrial revolution, ASEAN integration and other developments with the global environment. Our capacity to respond to the challenges that this new economic landscape and work systems will bring shall dictate our competitive edge.” – Dir. Rebecca J. Calzado | Deputy Director General, Partnership and Linkages Office | TESDA

“Our company Shims which is part of Sumitomo Group of Companies and Dualtech have been a partner for many years now by giving trainees the opportunity to apply their knowledge in actual work setup. This on-the-job training will equip the students with their experience needed for them to be accepted in some companies and organizations. Our company also thanks Dualtech for giving us the opportunity to have you.” - Mr. Hiroji Okamoto | Chairman, President and CEO | Shi Manufacturing and Services Philippines, Incorporated

“In the near future, when we would have settled and carved our own places in different companies, maybe some of us would have gone abroad and more so and many of us would have done good and improved their lives and others as well. Do not forget to give back to others what we ourselves have received so that there will be continuity, and the seeds that were planted to become mature trees now bear more fruits and seeds to be sown again. All good seeds and good fruits for a bountiful harvest.” – John Mark D. Mata, from Valencia City Bukidnon | Scholar, Angelicum Foundation | Trained at Susalum Corporation

There was an overcast. Tropical depression Ineng just exited the country. What would have been a hot and humid day turned out to be a perfect day for a round of golf. Last August 30, the Dualtech Partners Cup was played at the Canlubang Golf and Country Club, South Course.

The South Course is known for its gentle course. It has wider fairways and even holes to play with. Additionally, it has magnificent views from natural sights like Laguna de Bay Tagaytay ridge, and the peaks of Mt. Makiling. This is a course where you need to stop frequently, look around you and appreciate the beauty of your surroundings.

Marami ang nalampasan ko na pagsubok sa training dahil sa turo dito ng pagdarasal at pagpapasalamat sa anumang bagay. Nalampasan ko rin ito dahil sa pagkamasigasig sa anumang trabaho o gawain na ibinigay sa akin. At pagkamatatag sa anumang dagok na dumating at darating pa sa ating buhay. Ang pagiging matatag at madasalin ang naging init ko para lumabas ang aking kinang. Kinang ng puso at isipan, kinang ng pagpapahalaga sa trabaho at kinang para ma-inspire pa ang ibang tao dahil sa nahanap ko dito sa Dualtech ang sarili ko na marami pang pwede pagbutihin pa. – Jezreel A. Belecina, Batch Representative | Awardee, Silver Merit and Outstanding In-Plant Performance
