Fresnedi allots 63 Million Pesos for Munti Scholars

The City Government of Muntinlupa exerts its effort to bring back the high quality education in the city as Mayor Jaime Fresnedi allots budget worth 63 Million pesos for the scholars of Muntinlupa.

After the regular flag ceremony on March 17, 2014, Muntinlupa Scholarship Program-OIC Karla Gabriel introduced the students of Muntinlupa who will benefit from the Muntinlupa Scholarship Program.

Out of 340 high school students who took the exam in order to qualify for the college scholarship of MSP, 61 students passed and were qualified to receive a maximum of Php30,000 per semester.

Mayor Fresnedi also congratulates the top 10 Muntinlupa Outstanding Students who qualified in the exam given by the Muntinlupa Scholarhip Program.

This program was made possible by the City Council who passed the Ordinance 13-011, providing for educational financial assistance and other incentives to the scholars of Muntinlupa.

Those students who are under the scholarship program will receive the educational assistance of the City Government once they maintain the grade being required to them.

“We have allotted budget to help our children excel more in their academic works,” said Mayor Fresnedi. The City Government allotted 50 million pesos for the Muntinlupa Scholarship Program which includes elementary, high school and college. 13 million pesos were allotted for the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Muntinlupa scholars.

Also, Fresnedi acted upon the six years overdue accreditation of Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Muntinlupa. Before Fresnedi ended his term, it was in process for accreditation. But to his dismay, it was left unturned.

This week, the Association of Local Colleges and Universities/Commision on Accreditation (ALCU-COA) will conduct its accreditation visit to PLMun. “Let us all pray for the success of PLMun’s accreditation, this is for the future education of many Muntinlupeño,” he added.
