In line with its commitment to support national environmental goals and improve public service delivery, the Regional Training Center – Korea-Philippines Vocational Training Center (RTC-KORPHIL) successfully conducted a 5-day training on Engine Servicing and Motor Vehicle Emission Control Technician (MVECT) for selected employees of the Land Transportation Office (LTO).
Held from March 31 2025 – April 4, 2025, the specialized training was facilitated by Mr. Armando Bolivar, a seasoned trainer in automotive technology. The program aimed to enhance the technical competence of LTO personnel in engine diagnostics, servicing techniques, and vehicle emission control systems
This initiative is in the best interest of public service and was conducted in compliance with the Philippine Clean Air Act of 1999 (Republic Act No. 8749). The Act mandates the regulation and reduction of air pollutants, including those emitted by motor vehicles, to protect and preserve the environment and public health.
Through this training, participants gained in-depth knowledge and hands-on experience in handling emission-related issues and applying proper engine servicing protocols. The competencies developed are expected to strengthen the enforcement of emission standards and contribute to the government’s efforts in promoting clean air and sustainable urban mobility
RTC-KORPHIL continues to uphold its mission of delivering relevant and high-quality technical education and skills development programs that respond to the evolving needs of government agencies and the broader community.
