I’m Marc Troi Deo B. Manalapig, one of those students who took the OWWA scholarsip program exam. May I ask if it’s only 100 students that’s going to be covered by the said program? I mean, only 100 students would be recognized and be given benefits? As far as I know, it’ll be 150 sir. Thats what I have heard from some other sources. Well, anyways, Im just clearing up some questions. Thanks for reading. Hope I could get some spot up there. It’ll be fun getting there. Engagement and participation would give me motivation on way to college. It will also elp me in some oter financial difficulties. So, Im hoping I could be one of them. It’ll really be beneficial. Until here, more power and God Bless!
