MANILA — The Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) central office condemned on Wednesday the shooting of its provincial director.

“This cannot be ignored. We call for prompt investigations to ensure the suspects are captured and punished,” said TESDA Director General Guiling Mamondiong in a statement

Last December 7, TESDA Negros Occidental Director Julius Jamero, 45, was shot by unidentified gunmen in Talisay City, Negros Occidental.

TESDA said Jamero was shot seven times and was seriously wounded.
