Starting this year, he said Grade 10 completers were also included in the city’s graduation incentive program by virtue of an ordinance. As a result, some 2,722 Grade 10 completers received P1,000 each.
Meanwhile, graduates of the Navotas Polytechnic College will receive P1,500 following their graduation ceremony later this year, according to the city government.
The local chief executive said the city remains committed to investing in education and recognizing the hard work of students.
“Education is one of the most important investments we can make for the future of our city. Through these incentives, we hope to encourage our students to continue striving for excellence and help ease the financial challenges faced by their families,” Tiangco said.
The city government aims to ensure that no learner is left behind because of financial difficulties.
“We want our students to focus on achieving their dreams and completing their studies. The city government will continue to provide programs that support their academic journey and overall development,” the Navotas mayor said.
The distribution of incentives is part of its ongoing efforts to motivate students and strengthen educational support programs for Navoteño learners.
Wet Season
In other development, Tiangco told Good Riddance via Viber that the local government met with the Metro Shipbuilders and Shiprepairers Association Inc. to provide updates and important reminders regarding the preparations being undertaken by shipyards for the upcoming rainy season, and how these can help strengthen the city’s flood preparedness.
As establishments located along our waterways, the cooperation of shipyards is essential in implementing measures to reduce flood risk, protect communities, and ensure the safety of their operations, he said.
“Through continuous coordination with the private sector, we are collectively reinforcing Navotas’ readiness against the impacts of severe weather and other calamities,” the mayor said.
