‘The best gift that you could give to your loved ones is your time and your presence. Thank you for your love for the people and your town,” – Mayor Oscar “Richard” Garin, Jr said in appreciation to the presence of the members of the Local Council for the Protection of Children (LCPC) during their first regular Council meeting today.

“Masaku man ang tagsa kaninyo but gintaw-an niyo guid ka panahon ang occasion tulad. Salamat sa inyo participation because problems on these matter cannot just be solved by the Mayor alone but by the concerted effort of each of us as member of the community,” said Mayor Garin.

The LCPC is the mandatory special body that advocates child’s rights that implements all children’s programs at the local level.

Phinma University of Iloilo spared 100 slots of Handog Kaibigan Scholarships to Miagaowanons. This was the good news brought by Ms. Sylvia Infante, Ms. Janine Diones and Ms. Churchille Pasague during their courtesy visit to Mayor Oscar “Richard” S. Garin, Jr earlier today.

According to them, Handog Kabataan is a non-academic scholarship with a coverage of 25%, 50% or 75% financial assistance in tuition and miscellaneous fees, upon the screening of the student’s financial status or capacity, from enrollment to graduation.

As such, Mayor Garin was given the leeway to endorse students or scholars whom he thinks deserve the scholarship. Thank you very much!
