CSF allots P1-M for Alay Lakad 2022
The City Government of San Fernando is granting the Alay Lakad Foundation, Inc. a P1-million fund this 2022 in support of the foundation’s program for the education of out-of-school youth.
This move was sealed with a memorandum of agreement signed by Mayor Edwin “EdSa” Santiago and Alay Lakad President Engr. Ruben Sy, and other key officials on February 22, 2022 at Heroes Hall.
The fund will help the foundation support 65 new scholars from all the barangays in the city with financial and educational assistance until they finish college.
The beneficiaries who will qualify for the scholarship will be rendering community service to the foundation and City Social Welfare and Development Office to “help them engage in community, social, and economic development.”
After the MOA signing, the City Government will release the first half of the fund before first semester of academic year 2022-2023 begins.
The remaining half will be released before second semester. Since 1998, the Alay Lakad Foundation, Inc. has been holding annual “walk for a cause” that already sent hundreds of scholars – most of whom were OSYs—to school with funding sourced from public and private partners. (CSFP CIO)
