MALUNGON, Sarangani – The local government here is now open for interested student-applicants to its Educational Assistance Program (EAP) following the Monday distribution of certificates of recognition to 115 EAP-assisted students who have just completed a 4-year professional and or technical course this year.
Nonito Nunez, the Municipal Planning and Development Coordinator said vacant slots for scholarship grants are now open to unfortunate but worthy students of the municipality.
He said aside from the EAP-assisted program, the scholarship assistance was first launched by both Constantino and Sarangani Rep. Manny Pacquiao sometime in year 2010, in an aim to alleviate the major cause of poverty in the locality which is the lack of education to villagers dwellng the far flung villages of the said town.
“That is why the chief executive, through the active support and cooperation of our Sangguniang Bayan members, fixed a yearly P10-million budget to strengthen more of our learning support outlines, and the local government’s Educational Assistance Program (EAP). This is purposely to widen up the Constantino administration’s aim of providing proper education to students who are living in the remote villages,” Nunez said
The EAP is a government-provided financial assistance intended to encourage and assist students, specifically of the low income families, to participate in post-secondary education.
Last year, the local government noted some 516 educational scholars in the tertiary level, wherin most of which have studied in various colleges and universities in the cities of Davao and General Santos. Each student receives P10, 000 school assistance in every semester.
Aside, Contantino have also braced with the PESO-spearheaded Special Program for Employment of Students (SPES) ‘to help poor but eager students pursue schooling by encouraging them to work in the government offices during summer and or Christmas vacations.’
Cristina Constantino-Lapaz, the PESO municipal manager and chief executive secretary said there are about 100 students that are now employed under SPES in the local government. “Somehow this could be of great help for their school needs when the time for enrolment comes,” Lapaz added.
