The Pateros municipal government launched the first-ever student financial assistance that will benefit college students.

“Ang ating pangarap na makapagbigay suporta sa mga college students na taga-Pateros sa kanilang pag-aaral ay matutupad na!  Sa bisa po ng Municipal Ordinance 2025-42, ang Pateros Educational Assistance Program (PEAP) for College Students ay masisimulan na ngayong 2026 (Our dream of supporting college students from Pateros in their studies is about to come true! By virtue of Municipal Ordinance 2025-42, the Pateros Educational Assistance Program (PEAP) for College Students will begin in 2026),” he said. 

He added, “Ito ang kauna-unahang student financial assistance program ng Municipality of Pateros na naglalayong bigyan ng suporta ang isang libong (1,000) college students ng Pateros sa kanilang pag-aaral (This is the first student financial assistance program of the Municipality of Pateros which aims to support one thousand (1,000) college students from Pateros in their studies).” 

Each scholar will receive P3,000 per semester or P6,000 per year. Priority under the program are students of the Pateros Technological College, different local and state coleges and universities, and several students in private colleges and universities.
