Around 68 Pasigueño board takers of 11 licensure examinations received financial assistance from the Pasig City local government.


Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto led the aid distribution held at Tanghalang Pasigueño together with other city government officials.
According to the local government unit (LGU), each examinee received P10,000 from the city government.
"Bukod sa financial assistance, nagkaroon din ng pagbigay ng insentibo para sa limang Pasig City scholars na nakapagtapos ng kolehiyo na nakatanggap ng latin honors – apat sa mga ito ang nagsipagtapos na cum laude at isa naman ay magna cum laude (Aside from the financial assistance, incentives were also given to five Pasig City scholars who finished college with latin honors. Four of them finished as cum laudes while one finished as magna cum laude)," the LGU said.
Cum laude graduates each received P20,000 while the magna cum laude graduate received P25,000. All of them also received certificates recognizing their academic excellence.
The city government explained that the application for financial assistance for bar/board licensure examinees and incentives for those who graduated with latin honors are being handled by the Pasig City Scholarship Office.
"Bukas ang pagbibigay ng financial assistance para sa board/bar takers hindi lamang para sa mga Pasig City scholars, kundi para sa mga residente ng Lungsod ng Pasig na nakatakdang kumuha ng licensure exam. Samantala, ang insentibo naman para sa mga nagsisipagtapos ng may latin honors ay eksklusibo para sa Pasig City scholars (The financial assistance being given to board/bar takers is open not just to Pasig City scholars, but also to residents of the city who are set to take their licensure exam. Meanwhile, incentives for those with latin honors are exclusive to Pasig City scholars only)," it noted.
