April 12, 2023- Almost 500 students of RSU Romblon screened by DSWD lined up at the campus gymnasium to receive P4,000 educational assistance granted by Cong. Budoy Madrona

Last April 4, a team from the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) assisted over 600 endorsed students for the filing of their educational assistance application.

The said assistance came from the 2022 Congressional Fund as announced by Cong. Eleandro Jesus “Budoy” F. Madrona during his speech this morning at the sound system turnover ceremony and serves as a means of expression of his care towards the campus as its Father.

Also, RSU Romblon is the first campus of the University to ever receive an educational grant from him.

Ms. Genalyn L. Trinidad, a DSWD social worker, said in an interview during the screening that one of the purposes of the educational assistance is to help the students lessen their financial burdens.

“…𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐦𝐲 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟑 [𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥] 𝐟𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐮𝐮𝐧𝐚𝐡𝐢𝐧 𝐤𝐨 𝐮𝐥𝐢 𝐤𝐚𝐲𝐨 𝐧𝐚 𝐦𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐠𝐲𝐚𝐧 𝐧𝐠 𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞,” remarked Cong. Madrona.
