San Juan City Representative
JV Ejercito-Estrada on Saturday
|
The check was
drawn from the JV Ejercito-Estrada Scholarship Foundation (JVEEF). It was
handed over by Ejercito-Estrada to Eduardito C. Maruhom, member of MSU board of
regents, at the JCI Senate Breakfast held at Dayang-Dayang, Iligan City.
According to university officials, the fund's intended recipients are students of MSU Main Campus in Iligan, MSU Iligan Institute of Technology, and MSU Buug in Zamboanga Sibugay.
Ejercito-Estrada represents the lone district of San Juan City in the House of Representatives. He is a leading senatorial candidate, as shown by a number of recent polls.
An advocate of free education for the
underprivileged, Ejercito-Estrada, through JVEEF, subsidizes the tuition fees
and allowances of more than 400 tertiary students in the Polytechnic University
of the Philippines, San Juan and Sta. Mesa branches, and other colleges and
technical schools.
Like the 50 MSU students, Ejercito-Estrada's Metro Manila scholars take up diverse academic and technical courses.
In previous interviews with reporters, Ejercito-Estrada commended the government for proposing to raise the budget of state universities and colleges (SUCs) to P37.3 billion next year, from P25.8 billion this year.
He noted that the increase in budgetary allocation will enable SUCs to attract and keep competent professors and staff.
"This will in turn make SUC graduates at par with, if not better, than those from the best educational institutions in the private sector," Ejercito-Estrada said.
"These young men and women are our investment for the future," the San Juan congressman added. "We should spare no expense to assist them."
Ejercito-Estrada
is a former JCI national president.
Meanwhile, Estrada was in Zamboanga city as guest and speaker during the conduct of the 3-day Philippine Councilors League (PCL) 3rd Quarterly National Executive Officers and National Board Meeting held.
