The 1st ASEAN Skills Competition took place was hosted by Malaysia in August 1995, the first edition of the WorldSkills ASEAN Competition.

The name TeePee stands for “Techno-Pinoy.” TeePee is a robot symbolizing Team Philippines’ drive towards emerging global technologies.
TeePee embodies the Philippine colors: Blue for the pursuit of ideals and peace, Red for patriotism and valor, and White for liberty and equality; the Yellow Sun at the center of the chest that glows represents the enduring spirit of life with unity and democracy
Notably, the mark of the sun on its lateral lower legs signifies a new beginning and hope for the Philippines’ future progress. Both lower arms are engraved with the original Sulat Tagalog, or Baybayin alphabet, of TESDA, as the transformative leader in Technical Education and Skills Development in the country.
