BACOLOD City – Ten incoming senior high school students pursued their studies in Japan under a three-year scholarship in Negros Occidental.
The scholars were the second batch of Negrense students from various public schools in the province given the opportunity to study General Health and Automotive in Miyakonojo Higashi High School in Miyakonojo City, Miyazaki Prefecture, Japan.
They are Reneleen Apatan of Doña Montserrat Lopez Memorial High School in Silay City; Faustinne Mar Bulanon of Don Hilarion G. Gonzaga Memorial High School in Talisay City; Mark Amiel Doriman of Hinigaran National High School in Hinigaran; Zion Orven Gallo of Victorias National High School in Victorias City; Helena Grace Gasataya of Sagay National High School in Sagay City; Hans Philippe Gubaton of Cabacungan National High School in La Castellana; Trisha Mae Lucio of Julio Ledesma National High School in San Carlos City; Ranzel Magbanua of Eusebio Lopez Memorial Integrated School in Sagay City; Curly Joyce Palacios of Philippine Normal University-Visayas in Cadiz City; and Lorraine Tudillo of Binalbagan National High School in Binalbagan.
“Don’t forget to pray and ask God for guidance and strength. He has chosen you to be ambassadors of goodwill in Japan,” said Vice Gov. Eugenio Jose Lacson.
Lacson reminded the students to value the opportunity given to them and to be in their best behavior.
The scholarship grant is being implemented through the provincial government’s Negros Occidental Scholarship Program.
The Province of Negros Occidental entered into a memorandum of understanding with Miyakonojo Higashi High School in June 2017 to provide educational opportunities to motivated and deserving Negrense high school students who aspire to study in Japan. (With a report from PNA/PN)
