More than one hundred ten thousand students of Muntinlupa are officially beneficiaries of the local scholarship program which continued to expand, according to a news report by the Manila Bulletin.
To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the Manila Bulletin news report. Some parts in boldface…
A total of 110,508 students are now beneficiaries of the Muntinlupa City government’s scholarship program, Mayor Ruffy Biazon announced.
He said the city’s guiding principle is that “no child should be left behind,” noting that the program continues to expand alongside the annual Free Back to School Package.
“Bukod sa taun-taong Libreng Balik Eskwela Package para maging handa ang mga estudyante sa school, patuloy pang pinalalawak ang scholarship program para mas marami ang makinabang (So aside from the annual Free Back to School Package to get students ready for school, the scholarship program is continuously expanding so that more people can benefit),” Biazon said.
He added that the number of scholars is more than twice the maximum capacity of the Philippine Arena, regarded as the largest indoor arena in the world.
This year, the city government allotted P600 million for scholarships covering learners from Grade 1 to post graduate levels.
