Pampanga 2nd District Board Member Mylyn Pineda-Cayabyab launched her financial assistance program for graduate school students at the Don Honorio Ventura State University (DHVSU) last October 26.

BM Mylyn gave financial assistance to 11 graduate school students taking up educational management, business administration, and English teaching. The educational assistance aims to help teachers achieve professional growth and economic advancement through the completion of their graduate school degrees.

The financial aid program is a partnership with DHVSU which helped facilitate the application of deserving students. Students from the board member’s political jurisdiction of Santa Rita, Lubao, Sasmuan, Floridablanca and Porac may avail of the program. Priority will be given to students with satisfactory grades and those coming from indigent families.

BM Mylyn stated “Those taking up their masteral degrees have a lot on their backs. They support their families and relatives. If we could help them in their professional and economic growth, we in turn also help those who depend on these teachers.”

She stressed that a master’s degree requires a lot of time and effort on the part of a teacher.

DHVSU president Enrique Baking lauded the lady board member for her initiative, adding that the university welcomes the support she has extended to its students. He added that DHVSU has a history of collaborating with the board member emphasizing her role in the establishment of the DHVSU Satellite Campus in Lubao town when the latter was still mayor.
