In his opening message, Lino Severino, School Administrator of CNSAT-TESDA thanked the LGU officials, the partner agencies and those present during the program for their support to the activities and programs of CNSAT-TESDA.

He traced the humble beginnings of the school since it’s opening in the early 70’s until its separation from the DepEd in April 25, 1994 until what it is at present.

Over the years, he said, CNSAT-TESDA has been providing technical skills training to the Biliranons to develop their skills that would improve their present livelihood status to a better life.
