“We are very pleased to partner with PHINMA University of Iloilo through granting us Hawak Kamay Scholarship to 200 current Grade 12 students or incoming freshmen for school year 2023-2024. Through this, we can create more opportunities to financially-challenged Ilonggo youths to pursue their education and lift their lives,” Treñas said.
