In response to public demand, the Provincial Government of Abra, under the leadership of Governor Eustaquio Bersamin and through the initiative of the Office of Vice Governor Anne A. Bersamin, in partnership with the Department of TransportationβCordillera Administrative Region (DOTr-CAR), successfully conducted the second batch of the free two-day Theoretical Driving Course (TDC) on August 5 and 7, 2026.
Around 150 AbreΓ±os participated in the training, where Regional Drivers Education Center resource speakers Ramon Bocalan Jr., Cecilio Gallardo, and Andy Wilang discussed traffic laws, defensive driving, road safety, and responsible road behavior.
On behalf of Governor Bersamin and Vice Governor Bersamin, Provincial Information Officer Atty. King Blas Jervin C. Pagtailan emphasized that driving is not merely a privilege or a means of mobility, but a responsibility that demands discipline, awareness, and respect for the lives of others on the road.
More than a requirement for obtaining a driverβs license, the program equips aspiring motorists with the knowledge and discipline to become responsible road users; helping build safer roads and safer communities for every AbreΓ±o.
