application designed to streamline the services of the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) in the digital space was launched on Thursday, February 5, 2026.<br/><br/>President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr., together with TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco Benitez, led the official rollout of the “TESDA Skills Passport” mobile application, which aims to integrate training, employment, and scholarship services into a single platform.<br/><br/>“Dito makikita ninyo ang mga mahahalagang impormasyon tungkol sa TESDA trainees, scholarship, employment opportunities, TESDA-accredited training institutions, at TESDA online training courses,” Marcos said during the event.<br/><br/>According to the President, the government allocated nearly P20 billion to TESDA in the 2026 national budget to further expand access to scholarships and skills training programs for Filipinos, underscoring the administration’s push to strengthen workforce development through digitalization.<br/><br/>“Kaya sa ating mga kabataan, TESDA scholars, at sa lahat ng gustong matuto ng mga panibagong skills, inaanyayahan ko kayo na subukan at gamitin ang TESDA Skills Passport mobile app,” the President said. “Nawa’y magsilbi itong tulay para sa mas masagana at magandang bukas.”</div><div class="twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered"
