CITY OF SAN FERNANDO — The Pampanga Provincial Government extended support from its Educational Financial Assistance Program (EFAP) to 6,066 students from various towns in Pampanga during an event at the Bren Z. Guiao Convention Center here on Sept. 30.
Each scholar was granted ₱4,000 in educational assistance, amounting to more than ₱24.3 million in total aid distributed by the Capitol.
“Anak, ang pinapakiusap lang namin kasama ng inyong mga board members, sana tapusin ninyo ang inyong pag-aaral. Kahit sa maliit na bagay na ito, ang probinsya at ang Kapitolyo ay naging partner sa pag-aaral ninyo, naging bahagi ng inyong future. Importante na matapos kayo sa pag-aaral ninyo. Kapag natapos kayo, kahit anong trabahong pasukin ninyo, hindi kayo matatakot,” Vice Gov. Dennis “Delta” Pineda enjoined the beneficiaries.
He was joined in the distribution of the assistance by board members Cherry Manalo, Christian Halili, Fritzie David-Dizon, Sajid Khan Eusoof, Lucky Labung, Dra. Kaye Naguit, Maynard Lapid, and SK Federation president John Carlo Cruz, and provincial librarian Jasmine Cordero.
Prior to the distribution, the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) conducted an orientation to inform the beneficiaries about safeguarding themselves against illegal recruitment.
The EFAP is more than just financial support, it is a key investment in the future of young Kapampangans, helping them pursue their education and achieve a brighter tomorrow. Pampanga PIO/Photos: Daniel Ombina, Pat Cabungcal
