Grade 12 students from Technical Vocational Livelihood – Food and Beverage Services (TVL-FBS) strand passed the National Certificate II (NCII) in cookery conducted by Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) at Mayheks Technical Vocational Schoolg (MTVS) Assessment Center, April 23.

Paolo Alimen, Vincent Paul Dequina, Tristan Florentino, Maverick Blaise Launio, Kerk Justin Palang, Kiann Soriano, and Ramel Villasis passed the competency-based assessment of TESDA.

“[I felt] a sense of relief that they have done their best to finish their task and perform good. Of course I am thankful to God for the strength and courage so that my students may face this challenge head on,” John Gabriel Ledesma, TVL-FBS adviser and coach expressed.

Ledesma also shared an advice for his students that every challenge will be accomplished if you take that first step and trust in your self that you can achieve greatness, it’s all about the first step and conquering your fear that you cant do it and also if you intend to work in the hospitality industry someday, you need to have confidence to serve others.

“Just a little bit, because all the tasks that are required for them to do, we have discussed it since grade 11 so all I have to do is to review them from the basics,” Ledesma stated when he was asked what difficulties he encountered while teaching them.

NCII for cookery, a program offered by TESDA, is a vocational qualification awarded to individuals who have demonstrated competency in performing the tasks and responsibilities of a cook.
