SENATOR Christopher ‘Bong’ Go extended support to scholars of the Commission on Higher Education’s Tulong Dunong Scholarship Program during his Malasakit Team’s visit to Batangas State University in Batangas City.

“You are the future leaders of this country. Continue striving for excellence, and we will support you every step of the way,” Go said.

Go’s Malasakit Team distributed snacks, shirts, pens, and vitamins to 246 scholars, with selected students receiving basketballs and volleyballs. As Chairperson of the Senate Committee on Youth, Go reaffirmed his commitment to advancing educational initiatives like the CHED Tulong Dunong Scholarship, which he believes is vital for national development.
