Govt preparations for WorldSkills PH hosting go 'full blast'
Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) Director-General Kiko Benitez, who heads the interagency task force for the hosting of the event, visited the Filipino competitors during their final training sessions at the Tesda office in Taguig last Aug. 20.
