Governor Petilla pledged that he will continue supporting the project and will even see to it that other income generating skills such as driving, waitering, bartending and other skills in the food service industry, will be part of the ICOT P.

The ICOT-P is a pro-poor project initiated by Governor Petilla and is being implemented by the Provincial Government of Leyte. It focuses on graduating secondary level students who cannot pursue college education, by providing technology and skills transfer on modern agriculture and entrepreneurship, thereby creating opportunities for gainful income with the use of technology even without college education.

Governor Petilla took notice of the fact that very few student who graduate in High School are able to pursue college education. Rather than making these graduates unproductive members of society, Governor Petilla thought of providing them an alternative means to become productive citizens of their respective communities.

Starting on offering modern methods of agriculture that will make the students not just farmers but entrepreneurs, ICOT-P is now also offering Information Technology Skills in the pilot schools in Tanauan and Alangalang.

Governor Petilla congratulated the graduates for completing the course, a manifestation of their desire to become productive members of society despite not being able to pursue their college education.

Governor Petilla also expressed appreciation to the local government officials and the school administrators who fully supported the project.
