FYI: To all Undergraduate Antiqueño Scholars, there are available slots as per the recent post of PYDO.

Since the application has not yet ended, is it possible that the distribution will be in July, as they mentioned in their interview last March 2026? ( https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1BPApcxC6K/?mibextid=wwXIfr )

Kinamatis na, daw alang alang pa🥴

Isn't it funny that every time we call them out, they will move? What's sad about it is that it's what incompetence looks like.

Funny Fact.

Daw ma una pa ang BAWAT BARANGAY MAKIKINABANG PROGRAM kesa sa PROVINCIAL EDUCATIONAL ASSISTANCE😅

Two years ago, on this exact date, the Antiqueño scholars stood firm in their plea not to stop the provincial educational assistance. (see link: https://www.facebook.com/share/17Wg9kT7ye/?mibextid=wwXIfr )

Fast forward to today, with graduation ceremonies and rites scheduled, NO PROVINCIAL EDUCATIONAL ASSISTANCE has been given to any of the college student beneficiaries.

Now it’s almost June, with only more than 30 days left to account for their 1 year of service and the freeze of the provincial educational assistance.

I feel sad not just for the students but also for the parents who see the program as a small way to ease their financial burden for their children.

I do not lose hope. I’m still here, waiting, and will continue to stand for each scholar’s outcry.

The Philippines deserves leaders who truly care for the people, not just for power and influence. They are supposed to be public servants, but we keep seeing politicians arguing on television and online while ordinary people are struggling to survive on a daily basis.

The real question now is: do politicians still remember that leadership is meant to serve the people and not their personal pride?

Hayuffffff!!!!!

A person deserves to be called a leader if he or she knows how to stand for what is right, even if it is not popular, not for personal convenience, and definitely not when it will boost his or her reputation.

When accountability is at stake, it involves your rights and the future of younger generations. I am urging my fellow young leaders to speak up, stand firm, don't be afraid, and not to be non-political at this moment in time.

Let's take, for example, the bravery of the Assumption Student Council in petitioning to remove the portrait of the honorable Loren Legarda despite her meaningful contributions to the institution. Because at the end of the day, public servants are meant to serve, not the person to bow down to.

This is a reminder for every Filipino that your vote matters and it is never worth 500 pesos or a thousand pesos.

Do not just ride the trend; start by choosing competence over money in your local leaders.
