SCHOLARS
TO GRADUATE IN MARCH
Three scholars of the Damayan-Buluseño, Inc. through its
Scholarship Through Sponsorship Program will graduate this coming
March from different schools with different college degrees.
They are Cesar L. Gacosta, Lea Balderama, and Salvacion
Gardon.
Cesar will graduate in Computer Science from the AMA
Computer College in Legaspi City.
A son of Celso and Elisa Gacosta of Barangay Sapngan, his
scholarship is sponsored by Mr. Reynaldo Labrador of Manila.
Lea took up Architectural Drafting at the Sorsogon State
College. She is the third scholar of the late Mayor Bernardo R.
Sayarot of Mabitac, Laguna who was killed in an ambush in Teresa,
Rizal together with the late Gabriel “Amby” Fuentes on October
29, 2001 when Lea was on the third year of her course. However,
her scholarship was pushed through by Mr. Joel G. Fulleros, a
former DBI scholar and formerly an employee of the late Mayor
Sayarot.
Lea’s parents are Fernando and Paz Balderama of Barangay
San Bernardo. She is
now on an “On-The-Job Training” as draftsman at the Local
Government Unit (LGU) of Bulusan.
DBI expects she would get the item the moment she passes
the Civil Service examination.
Salvacion will be graduating with an Elementary Education
degree from the Bicol University in Daraga, Albay.
Sponsored by a Buluseño based abroad who chose to remain
incognito, Salvacion is from Barangay Poctol.
With the graduation of these three scholars, the DBI
scholarship program would have a total of twenty-four college
graduates who all came from poor families but bright
and talented.
Next year, three more scholars are expected to graduate.
SCHOLARSHIP
SPONSORS NEEDED
Damayan-Buluseño, Inc. through its Scholarship Through
Sponsorship Program is appealing to all civic-minded Buluseños to
share their blessings by way of sponsoring the college education
of bright and talented high school graduates who belong to poor
Buluseño families. This
way, they will greatly help in moulding our youths into
responsible professionals who may become future leaders in the
community.
A number of high school students who will be graduating
with honors this coming March have approached Damayan-Buluseño,
Inc. for possible college scholarship grants.
But, due to lack of sponsors, the association could not
assure them yet of any slot this school year.
Through this appeal, DBI hopes to receive responses from
Buluseños who are concerned for the future of these youths.
The Scholarship Through Sponsorship Program of DBI was
conceived in 1983 and as of now twenty-one scholars have already
graduated from college and another three will graduate this March.
Four are still in college.
If they all graduate by year 2006, there will be 28
graduates through this program.
Actually, they are supposed to be thirty-two, but for
unknown reasons four of them did not pursue with their studies
after a year in school without even informing the association.
In this program, DBI does not spend a single centavo for
the scholars. The
association’s role is to scout for possible sponsors.
Of these twenty-eight scholars, eleven of their sponsors
are Buluseños. They
are former Assemblyman Augusto G. Ortiz, retired Maj. Gen. Cesar
F. Fortuno, former scholars Edwin Gonzales and his wife Loida
Gayta – Gonzales, Joel G. Fulleros, and Jesus Perez and
anonymous Buluseños based in Metro-Manila and abroad.
To qualify as scholar, an applicant must be the poorest
among the top five graduates from the four high schools in Bulusan
namely: Jose S. Reyes Memorial Institute, Bulusan National High
School, Buhang National High School, and San Roque National High
School.
Those who wish to sponsor a scholar, may get in touch with
Mr. Juan G. Galindes, Chairman of the Local Coordinating Board in
Bulusan, or DBI President Rogelio F. Fuentes at 86 Premium Street,
GSIS Village, Quezon City. Tel. No. 929-5277.
