TACLOBAN CITY – Representatives Florencio “Bem” Noel and Neil Benedict Montejo of the An Waray party-list will be distributing checks to the scholars of the An Waray studying in Tacloban and its neighboring school campuses on Feb. 18, according to Jen Padua of the an Waray party-list group.
The venue of the distribution of scholarship checks has yet to be finalized said Padua, as they are still looking for a place that can accommodate about 1,000 individuals.
“We are planning to use the Tacloban City Convention Center for the said activity, but as of now we haven’t tried to seek if the convention center is available at the 18th,” said Padua.
She added that aside from the Tacloban Convention Center, they are also considering the Leyte Normal University HRDC and Leyte National High School Gym for the event.
“But if I were to choose on the which venue, I would like it to be at the Convention Center because the place is strategic for the students and it can accommodate a big crowd,” Padua added.
Based on the list of the An Waray party-list, more than 700 scholars from Tacloban are to be given with their scholarship checks by the two solons on top of the scholars coming from different university campuses and colleges in the neighboring towns.
Scholars are then advice to bring with them their identification cards and the scholarship matrix.
Earlier, the two representatives of the An Waray lead in the distribution of checks among scholars in Ormoc and nearby towns.
Around 100 scholars were able to receive the check while there were 50 scholars who personally claim it at the An Waray headquarters,Padua saif.
After the distribution of scholarship checks in Tacloban, Noel and Montejo are expected to distribute another set of scholarship checks in the three provinces of Samar, Padua added.
In the numbers of scholars that An Waray party-list is supporting, Padua said that most of those who are benefiting the said programs are from the three provinces of Samar.
“Samar has the most number of applicants for scholarship which is why most of our scholars are from Samar provinces,” Padua said.
Following Samar provinces with the most number of scholars are Southern Leyte, Biliran and Leyte.
Padua made it clear that in the implementation of scholarship program of the An Waray, scholars do not need to maintain high grades for most of the scholars are working students.
“We do not expect high grades from them but we ask them not to have failing grades for their scholarship to continue,” Padua explained. (ROEL AMAZONA)
