MANILA, Philippines — President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Thursday graced the launch of the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) Skills Passport mobile application, his first public appearance since being sidelined by diverticulitis two weeks ago.
“Through the TESDA Skills Passport Mobile Application, we now have an all-in-one digital platform,” he said in Filipino.
“Here you will find important information about TESDA trainees, scholarships, employment opportunities, TESDA-accredited training institutions, and TESDA online training courses,” he added.
The TESDA Skills Passport is a mobile-first, digital solution designed to streamline training, certifications, employment, and scholarship services for Filipinos.
It is a unified platform that “functions as a digital identity and portfolio, allowing users to securely store, manage and present their skills and credentials.”
Immediately after the launch, Marcos left to attend the Philippine Telco Summit 2026 in Pasay City.
