Bertiz III named as TESDA Director

President Rodrigo Duterte has appointed former ACTS OFW Rep. Aniceto Bertiz III as Deputy Director-General of the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority, replacing the late Gladys Rosales.

Bertiz took his oath of office Monday morning before TESDA Director-General Secretary Isidro ‘Sid’ Lapeña.

“We are grateful for the trust bestowed by the President,” Bertiz said in a statement Monday.

“We are humbled by the task before us at TESDA under Secretary Lapeña’s leadership, considering the huge number of Filipinos, including returning migrant workers, separated from their jobs on account of the COVID-19 pandemic,” Bertiz said.
