Hon. Ron P. Salo, Representative of the Kabayan Party List of the 18th Congress of the Republic of the Philippines, is the invited speaker for the exercises.
He emphasized that education should not only be knowledge based, but also competency based in which he defined as “Education 4.0.” This and the 3Cs (Critical Thinking, Competency, and Character) are the country’s two prong solution to one of the problems in education – under/unemployment and job skills mismatch.
