MEXICO, PAMPANGA – The provincial government has provided huge investment for the education of the youth through the provision of educational cash assistance, service vehicles, construction of school buildings and other facilities and even opening of satellite campuses for a state university in the province.
Vice Governor Dennis ‘Delta’ Pineda said the Pineda administration believes that the better future of the province and the individual families are in the hands only of the highly educated youth.
As a result, the provincial government has already supported more than 15,314 scholars all over the province as part of the Educational Financial Assistance Program (EFAP).
All were given the financial grant of P 2, 500 each with a total amount of P 95.1 M.
For almost nine (9) years, from 2010 to date, the provincial government has invested P 1.2 B for the program on education.
With the said budget, additional classrooms and public school buildings are now being used by the students from public schools. While thousands of senior high school and college students are regularly receiving education aid from the provincial government.
“Governor Nanay is continuously supporting the education of the youth. This is also the program I intend to continue should I be given the chance in May 2019 elections,” the vice governor said who is now running for governor.
This holds true as the vice governor provided educational cash assistance to senior high school students (SHS) of Don Jesus Gonzales High School in Pandacaqui Resettlement here.
During the distribution, Kathleen Yambao, 19-year-old SHS student beneficiary from Diosdado Macapagal High School (DMHS), shared that she is very much thankful for the help that the vice- governor extends to public school students.
“Malaking tulong po ito sa kagaya kong grade 12 student. Marami pong mapupuntahan ang cash allowance pong ito” said Yambao.
Jan Medina, an 18-year-old survivor of congenital heart disease and SHS student also from DMHS said that his sickness did not hinder him from pursuing his studies.
“Hindi naging hadlang ang naging sakit ko sa aking pag-aaral, nagsusumikap at nagpupursigi ako na makapagtapos upang makatulong ako sa aking pamilya” said Medina.
Another DMHS SHS focal person, Glenn Zuniega said that the financial assistance being given by the provincial government has motivated more students to consistently attend regular classes.
“Actually, noong nalaman nang mga bata na malapit ng dumating ang mga cash assistance, mas sumipag silang pumasok araw-araw,” the young teacher said.
He noted that the financial assistance given by the Capitol could help in decreasing the number of dropouts every year.
“Malaking tulong ito para mabawasan ang mga drop outs, kasi hindi na nila iisipin pa masyaado ang gastusin” Zuniega added.
With this, he said Governor Pineda and Vice Governor Delta could boost the morale of dropouts and help them shape their minds to go back to school.
The EFAP beneficiaries in this town are as follows: 128 from DMHS; 57 from Gerry H. Rodriguez High School; 78 from Nicanor David Vergara High School; 350 from San Juan High School; 106 from Mexico National High School and 405 from Don Jesus Gonzales High School.
