 194 Pass in CALABARZON


     DOST Secretary Mario G. Montejo announces that 1,246 high school students have qualified under the 2011-2012 DOST-SEI (DOST-Science Education Institute) Undergraduate Scholarship Program, or RA 7687.   The present number of scholars came from more than 20,000 hopefuls who took the scholarship exam last November 2010 in various testing centers throughout the country.  Of these, 846 incoming freshmen are eligible under the Science Scholarship Act of 1994 (RA 7687) or Program B, the government’s science scholarship program for the poor and underprivileged with the remaining 400 students eligible under the DOST-SEI Merit Scholarship or Program A.

      In CALABARZON, Dr. Alexander R. Madrigal, regional director of DOST IV-A, reports that out of 1, 893 applicants, qualifiers under RA 7687 total 144 with other incoming freshmen who qualified for Program A totaling 50.  He said the top three provinces with the most number of qualifiers, pro rated against the number of examinees, under Programs A and B, are Rizal (43), Quezon (27), and Laguna (55).

     Meanwhile, qualifiers from Region IV-A who will enroll under Programs A and B are encouraged to attend the orientation sessions from May 3 to 4, 2011 for Batangas Province to be held at the provincial S&T center in Kumintang, Ilaya, Batangas City.  The provinces of Cavite, Laguna, Quezon and Rizal have previously conducted orientation sessions from April 26 to 29, 2011. 

     Scholars of RA 7687 will receive tuition fee subsidy and other school fees, book allowance, monthly living allowance for 10-11 month duration and more. On the other hand, DOST-SEI Merit scholars will receive the same benefits as the RA 7687 scholars except for a pro-rated monthly stipend depending on their economic status. 

     The government’s Science Scholarship program was initiated together with the creation of the National Science Development Board, the precursor of the DOST. Starting with only 10 awardees, it has increased yearly until the establishment of Republic Act 7687 or the Science Scholarship Act of 1994. RA 7687 paved the way for a massive scholarship program with the government awarding, at present, more than 1,000 slots to qualified students annually. For 2009, 1,246 slots are being made available for graduate scholars in science and technology.

     Those who passed from Laguna are:     Joferson del Valle Abiog, Charlene Andaya Alcira.Myrtle Joy Ato Antioquia, Marinel Salvan Auditor, Gene Patrick Macalagay Babaan,  Nerielyn Ayadawan Bahiwag,  Jessah Marie Basconcillo Banayo, Archie Durante Basila, Marx Lennin Marasigan Cabaltican,  Angelo Ollet Casin, Ariel Ruegas Dela Cruz, Jovielane Lozande dela Cueva, Paul Alfred de Leon Dichoso, Sarah Janine Urias Esguerra, Minorka Padua Evangelista, John Kenneth Castillo Fajilan, Maureen Cuenca Flores, Edlyn Racoma Gatchalian, Geselle Ellema Gesmundo, Robb Prieto Gile, Rose Aliza Cabrera Igualada, Michael Veloso Lacsina, Razel Bucad Laygo,

DOÑA LEONILA (MINI-FOREST) PARK

What is now known as Doña Leonila (Mini-Forest) Park overlooking the Sampaloc Lake is actually a portion of the site for the City Hall Complex purchased in 1937 by the Municipal Government of San Pablo headed by President Inocencio Barleta, which was partly developed after the termination of World War II under the administration of appointed City Mayor, Dr. Fernando A. Bautista. During the incumbency of elected Mayor Lauro D. Dizon Sr., with the help of the Rotary Club of San Pablo, and under the supervision of Dr. Juan B. Hernandez, then club secretary of the local Rotary Club and Chairman of the City Beautification Committee, constructed some park structures at the park, with the fountain featuring the country lass with agriculture harvest as centerpiece. Probably, Hernandez and then City Engineer Perfecto Reyes were inspired by the figures affixed on the façade of the City Hall Building which symbolizes progress. Sometimes on April of 1961 when then President Carlos Garcia made a...
