The word ‘lukad’ is a tagalog term that refers to a meticulous and laborious way of extracting coconut meat from the coconut shell by using different technological tools and processes. This term is appropriate for the Philippine Normal University – South Luzon (PNUSL) because of its distinct local characteristic and identity. PNUSL is geographically located in the coconut basket of the Philippines – Lopez, Quezon. As a national center for teacher education, its mission is to link technology and livelihood education to philosophical, sociological, historical, psychological and political context.
