MANILA, Philippines – Navotas City gives cash grants to the fresh graduate students from elementary, senior high school and college in public schools in their locality.
The local government of Navotas City has recently passed City Ordinance 2019-03 that shall grant cash incentives to fresh graduates. Under the ordinance, students who will graduate starting this school year 2018-2019 will be covered.
Graduates in the elementary level will receive P500. Meanwhile, senior high school and college graduates will get P1,000 and P1,500, respectively.
The initiative was made to motivate more students to strive harder in school. Vice Mayor Clint Geronimo said that the ordinance aims to “encourage students to finish their studies and achieve more in life.”
Looks like more cities are looking to provide financial assistance to their fresh graduates. In Valenzuela City, they recently had their first distribution of cash grants to the fresh graduates.
Last March 21, a total of 1,513 grade school graduates in Valenzuela received cash worth P1,500 each from the city government.
Honor students received more gifts. First honor received P3,000, second honor received P2,500 while third to fifth honor got P2,000 each.
