Reinforcing its commitment to accessible and inclusive education, the Provincial Government of Bulacan distributed Landbank ATM cards to 3,000 student beneficiaries under the Tulong Pang-Edukasyon Para sa Bulakenyo program during the Scholars’ General Assembly held at the Bulacan Capitol Gymnasium in the City of Malolos.
Governor Daniel Fernando, together with Vice Governor Alexis Castro, led the ceremonial distribution of ATM cards to ensure that students can conveniently and promptly access their scholarship grant—a vital financial lifeline that helps ease the burden of tuition, transportation, and daily school needs.
The 3,000 beneficiaries represent a diverse group of Bulakenyo students from both public and private institutions, including those enrolled in senior high school, college, master’s, and graduate studies.
The program also extends support to aspiring professionals preparing for board examinations and individuals from marginalized sectors such as Indigenous Peoples (Dumagat), Persons with Disabilities (PWDs), children of solo parents, farmers, fishers, and volunteer workers.
“No Bulakenyo is left behind in reaching their dreams.”
Fernando emphasized that the initiative goes beyond financial support—it is a demonstration of the government’s commitment to uplift the lives of every Bulakenyo through education and ensure that no Bulakenyo is left behind in reaching their dreams.
“Ito ang susi para mabuksan ang mas maraming pintuan ng tagumpay.”
“Naniniwala ako na ang edukasyon ang pinakamalakas na pantay-pantay na tagapagbigay ng oportunidad—ito ang susi para mabuksan ang mas maraming pintuan ng tagumpay at para mapalakas ang ating mamamayan na mapagtagumpayan ang anumang hamon,” Fernando stressed.
In addition to the scholarship distribution, the provincial government and Bulacan State University (BulSU) held a ceremonial signing of the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) for the “Nars na Bulakenyo, Iskolar ng Kapitolyo” program.
This partnership will grant full nursing scholarships to 30 deserving BulSU students, covering tuition, miscellaneous fees, and other academic expenses throughout the entire duration of their course.
