You are an ‘Iskolar ng Bayan’

rep. roman romulo of pasig sponsored the iskolar ng bayan bill, which was passed in 2014

“Patuloy po akong umiikot sa mga probinsya, kung saan nakarating sa ating kaalaman na hindi alam ng karamihan ng tao ang mga batas sa edukasyon, katulad nitong Iskolar ng Bayan Act [I have been going around different provinces where it has come to my attention that most Filipinos hardly know the laws we have on education, including the Iskolar ng Bayan Act],” lamented the lone representative of Pasig City. “Karapatan po nila ito kaya ako’y humigingi ng tulong sa media na mapaabot itong napaka importanteng impormasyon sa ating mga estudyante at sa kanilang mga magulang upang matulungan silang makapag-aral sa kolehiyo [This is their right, which is why I am seeking the help of media to make known this important piece of information to help students and their parents send them to college].”
