Mayor Jed Patrick E. Mabilog led the distribution of P1,800 each educational assistance to 75 streetchildren scholars in Iloilo City June 11.
The cash aid is of big help to underprivileged but deserving students to finish their studies to have soon the chance to find a stable job to help support their families.
The mayor instilled to the beneficiaries the value of education which is very vital not only for personal growth and development but also provides great opportunities for the improvement of family living as well as the important contribution of educated citizenry to the Ilonggo community.
The City Government’s scholarship program for the less privileged recipients seeks to create an impact to the lives of hopeful souls out of the streets into successful professionals someday.
