Bokal Atty. JP Gozos is providing scholarship to 1,800 students in the fourth district of Batangas.
Gozos goes around various barangays in the province to personally hand over the educational assistance to the students.
This also gives him the change to get to know his scholars.
“Ito po ang isa sa mga masasayang activities na ginagawa ntin bilang isang bokal.”
“Ito po ang isa sa mga masasayang activities na ginagawa natin bilang isang bokal dahil nakikita natin mismo ‘yung mga kabataan na ating nasusuportahan sa ating programa,” Gozos said.
The scholars are college students.
To maintain the scholarship until they graduate from college, these students must not fail in any subject.
The bokal allots half of the fund he receives from the provincial government to educational assistance.
“Ang pagiging lingkod-bayan po ay higit pa sa trabaho para sa atin.”
“Ang pagiging lingkod-bayan po ay higit pa sa trabaho para sa atin. Ito po ay isang hamon na ating tinatanggap para mapaunlad ang buhay ng ating mga kababayan,” he stressed.
Gozos has been giving scholarships since he got elected into office in 2016.
The program is now on it’s 8th year as Gozos serves his last term as provincial board member.
“Pangarap po natin ang pangarap ng bawat magulang – ang makatapos at maging matagumpay ang kanilang anak,” he said.
“Kaya naman po ay ginagawa natin ang lahat ng ating makakaya para makatulong sa mga kabataang Batangueño na makatapos sa kanilang pag-aaral,” Gozos stressed.
