A NEW batch of student beneficiaries received financial assistance during the Bagong Pilipinas Serbisyo Fair in Eastern Visayas.

In a ceremony held at the Leyte Academic Center in Tacloban City, 3,000 students each received P5,000 and 5 kilograms of rice.

This assistance is part of the Integrated Scholarship and Incentives Program for the Youth (ISIP), a financial aid program for struggling college students who cannot afford the costs of education.

The initiative, led by House Speaker Martin Romualdez in collaboration with other government agencies, aims to support deserving students facing financial challenges in pursuing quality education.

Beneficiaries of this program will also be enrolled in the Commission on Higher Education’s Tulong Dunong Program, which provides scholarship assistance of up to P15,000 per semester, as well as priority slots in the Government Internship Program after graduation.

Additionally, unemployed parents or guardians of the beneficiaries may also be enrolled in the Department of Labor and Employment’s TUPAD program.

“Basta may BPSF, isisingit na rin natin ang CARD, SIBOL at ISIP programs para matulungan ang lahat ng sektor. Sa ilalim ng Bagong Pilipinas campaign ng ating Pangulo, kasama ang lahat sa pag-unlad at direkta ang suporta at serbisyong ibibigay sa mga mamamayan,” Romualdez said.
