MAYOR Eric C. Codilla led the groundbreaking for the new building of Ormoc Technological Manpower Training and Research Center (OTMTRC) last Mar. 19 after the flag ceremony. The project is one of the three edifices being built and set for completion this year, the other two being the new fire station and city hospital.
Councilor Rafael C. Omega Jr. who chairs the committee on manpower development said the old OTMTRC building was constructed 21 years ago hence the need to replace it with a new structure complete with workshops where the center’s students can have their hands-on training.
Engr. Joseph Frederick A. Pepito, the contractor of the two-storey P12 million building said they will finish the first phase within three months and the entire edifice hopefully by September. The center attracts 500 students annually from all over 4th District and even as far as Camotes, Cebu.
OTMTRC was created 31 years ago by Ordinance No. 97 s. 1981. It offers short courses on shielded metal arc welding, automotive servicing, refrigeration and air-conditioning, building wiring installation, consumer electronics, plumbing, carpentry, and dressmaking courses.
After the groundbreaking, Mayor Codilla took time out to inspect the existing classrooms and workshops. He saw students working on engines at the automotive servicing section. The instructor showed the mayor an engine from the General Services Department that could be considered as scrap but which the students were able to restore.
