LGU of Banaybanay, Davao Oriental Taps TESDA for Eco Industrial Park Construction

The Local Government Unit of Banaybanay, Davao Oriental has tapped the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) to train its residents for the construction of a 1,500-hectare eco industrial park.

Under a MOU between the Davao Oriental Provincial Government and Pionaire Finance Limited, a 1,500-hectare eco industrial park will be constructed in Banaybanay.

"Banaybanay LGU wants its people to be the ones to work and benefit from the construction. We will train the applicants and provide them with various construction-related courses," TESDA- Region 11 Director Lorenzo Macapili said.

"The (Banaybanay) LGU said the project would need 5,000-10,000 construction workers. But that doesn't mean 5,000 'at one-shot'. Getting the workers would be gradual," Macapili further explained.

The regional director said the Banaybanay government would like to hire its residents for this project, and it would also hire those from nearby municipalities.

"So, if there are many IPs  in one municipality, for example, they would also learn from us," Macapili said.

Indigenous people are among TESDA's priority beneficiaries in its free training programs.

Meanwhile, Macapili said there is no specific date yet as to when this project would start. According to him, the LGU also did not specify the target date for the project's completion.

"What's clear for now is our partnership with the municipality of Banaybanay. The provincial government of Davao Oriental and the construction industry there are also our partners in this project," he added.

Regional Director Macapili said the construction industry in Davao Oriental would provide on-site training for the applicants or trainees for the construction of the Davao Oriental Eco Industrial Park.

What is an Eco-Industrial Park?

Definition

An eco-industrial park (EIP) is an industrial park in which businesses cooperate with each other and with the local community in an attempt to reduce waste and pollution, efficiently share resources (such as information, materials, water, energy, infrastructure, and natural resources), and help achieve sustainable development,

  

An EIP may also be planned, designed, and built in such a way that it makes it easier for businesses to co-operate, and that results in a more financially sound, environmentally friendly project for the developer.

  

The Eco-industrial Park Handbook states that "An Eco-Industrial Park is a community of manufacturing and service businesses located together on a common property. Members seek enhanced environmental, economic, and social performance through collaboration in managing environmental and resource issues."

The World Bank Group, United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), and German Development Cooperation (GIZ) GmbH launched the first joint international framework on eco-industrial parks (EIPs).

Around 250 self-classified EIPs exist globally; about a third of them in non-OECD countries, and those numbers are growing.

Eco-industrial parks such as Ulsan Mipo and Onsan in South Korea show they can spark economic growth while reducing environmental and social impacts.

Importance of Eco-industrial Parks

Industrial parks cluster industrial businesses in a dedicated location to achieve efficiencies and take advantage of collaborative opportunities. But concentrating economic activity in one area runs the risk of also concentrating negative environmental and social impacts, such as pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and poor labor standards.

The EIP framework describes the minimum expectations for eco-industrial centers across four categories:

• Park management performance
• Environmental performance
• Social performance
• Economic performance

Local communities embracing the concept of Eco-industrial park are looking for some additional benefits for all the interested parties, both public and private: higher economic efficiency, generation of additional revenues through positive regulations at the community level, the creation of jobs, solving the conflict between economy and environment, diminishing the demand on the county infrastructure, decreasing the effects of pollution, using energy from regenerating sources and replacement materials. 

Communities and enterprises creating Eco-industrial parks will have common grounds for industrial development, which is much more competitive, more efficient and much cleaner than traditional industrial parks.

TESDA Region XI Launch Skills Training Program For Thousands of Workers in Davao Oriental

The Technical Education and Skills Development Authority of Region XI (TESDA XI) is set to conduct a massive skill training for the thousands of workers in Banaybanay, Davao Oriental for the proposed Davao Oriental Eco-industrial Park project.

The Davao Oriental Eco-industrial Park project is a joint venture between the Local Government Unit of Davao Oriental and Pionaire Finance Limited.

During the launching of the skills training program on July 14, TESDA Director General, Secretary Gene Mamondiong said the program aims to develop and train workers in the different trade areas particularly on courses like carpentry, masonry, tile setting, plumbing, and other construction-related skills.

TESDA Launching of Skills Program

The program is TESDA’s response to the request of the local government unit of Banaybanay to provide the required training assistance for the construction workers of the proposed multi-billion Davao Oriental Eco-Industrial Park project that is set to rise in the said town.

The program dubbed as “TESDA-Banaybanay, Davao Oriental Kasanayan para sa Kabuhayan at Kapayapaan para sa Proposed Eco-Industrial Park” will also serve as TESDA XI’s skills training program intended to support the “Build, Build, Build” infrastructure program of the Government.

Apart from the training, TESDA will also build training courts with dorms to provide the trainees the necessary venue and equipment required in their training.

Municipal Councilor Rabsalon Lamaran stressed that the Eco-Industrial Park project would require labor force of at least 10,000 up to 30,000 skilled workers from the start until its full operation.

“The investors agreed that it will be thru localized employment given that workers to be employed have TESDA National Certificates,” Lamaran said.

Davao Oriental Governor Cites Major Projects During The Province 51st Anniversary Celebrations

The Davao Oriental provincial government will implement major infrastructure projects this year to boost the province's economy according to Governor Nelson Dayanghirang during his state of the province address on July 1. 

He laid down this year’s infrastructure projects that he said would boost the province's economy.

Dayanghirang added that he is looking forward to the incoming locators in the province’s USD 27-billion Davao Oriental Industrial Park in Banaybanay town.

He said the industrial park, which will be developed in partnership with Pionaire Finance Limited, is set to create 10,000 jobs for local residents.

Governor Dayanghirang said his administration has sought to foster greater inclusiveness and maximum participation in growth and development by all of the stakeholders, rather than the Davao Oriental provincial government doing everything alone and by itself.

“The province of Davao Oriental has traveled through a significant journey over the past few years. Taking off from the concrete foundations of effective governance already laid by the previous administration, the present leadership has set its sights on delivering the promise of a more progressive government by advancing a slate of sustainable development programs to improve the lives of the people of Davao Oriental," the Governor said.
