The funding assistance for high school students of Gabay Guro and the Pangilinan family aims to help alleviate the financial burden on the families of the grantees by way of providing a monetary allowance for their schooling and leveling up their readiness with pre-college level mentoring.

The qualified Grade 12 learners, referred to as the “grantees”, are students from Laiban Integrated School, Sto. Niño Integrated School, Rizal Sports Academy, Talim Point National High School, Janosa National High School, and Daraetan National High School. They will have funding help from January to June 2023.

Through DepEd Rizal’s Direct Financial Assistance Program, the partnership will provide a monthly monetary allowance from January to June 2023, aiming to help alleviate the financial burden on their families. The grantees will also undergo pre-college level mentoring.

“We express our deepest thanks to Gabay Guro, MPIF and the Pangilinan family for supporting more scholars by providing the opportunity to pursue their studies with less worries,” says DepEd Rizal Schools Division Superintendent Susan DL. Oribiana. “Their support helps us in our mission towards inclusive education for all.”

This partnership bolsters Gabay Guro and MPIF's role alongside Metro Pacific Investments Corporation (MPIC), as the largest catalyst for a Sustainable Philippines, committed to improving the lives in the country through providing essential services and mobilizing advocacies that uplift the quality of life of all Filipinos.

MPIC and its group of companies seek to create long-term value for all its stakeholders through responsible and sustainable investments that contribute to national progress and improve the quality of life in the communities it serves.

MPIF complements MPIC’s investment and management strategy in physical infrastructure and public services by helping to alleviate poverty, provide high-quality educational opportunities for children, and promote the conservation of our natural environment.

Widening access to quality education is one of the most sustainable and cost-effective ways of ensuring future progress. The private sector must fulfill its part in honing the talents of our youth.

Through the Alay sa Batang Rizal scholarship program, Gabay Guro and MPIF are making a positive impact on the lives of deserving students, helping to secure a better future for them and for the country as a whole.
