SOME 15 students who graduated from high school with honors received their full scholarship grant for college from the city government. Mayor Eric C. Codilla and Councilor Ruben Capahi who is in charge of screening the scholars met the students last May 5.
Each scholar will be entitled to a one-time P1,000 book allowance as well as P1,500 tuition and P500 transportation allowance per month. The parents are thankful to Mayor Codilla for the assistance extended to them. One of them is Marilyn Corpin who said she will be able to save P20,000 per semester on her son’s tuition.
Housewife Emilyn Morales who is a mother of four says: “Sus, manunubo o hurnal ra gyud intawon sa katubhan ang akong bana. Di gyud nako kaya magpaeskuwela sa [akong anak] kung ako ra ang mugasto. Salamat sa gobyerno!”
