Senator Joel Villanueva is the guest judge on the popular “Bawal Judgmental” segment of the country’s longest-running noontime show “Eat Bulaga!” on Saturday, Jan. 9.
He is excited about it.
“Isang karangalan po ang ma-imbitahan ng ‘Eat Bulaga!’ sa kanilang ‘Bawal Judgmental’ segment. Excited po tayo pakinggan ang mga kwento ng ating mga manlalaro,” Villanueva said.
Villanueva is known for steering the lead agency promoting technical-vocational education to greater heights.
In his five-year stint as director general of the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA), he offered a fresh perspective on how tech-voc can enable workers lift themselves out of poverty through the “Training, Trabaho, TESDA” campaign, which produced over nine million skilled workers.
The feat earned him the nickname “TESDAMan,” which catapulted him to the Senate in 2016.
Villanueva continued pursuing labor issues affecting everyday workers, as chair of the Senate Committee on Labor, Employment, and Human Resources Development.
