Vice Governor Gutierrez inspires OFOP scholars to value education, achieve their dreams

 



OROQUIETA CITY, Misamis Occidental—Vice Governor Rowena Gutierrez emphasized the transformative power of education in personal development, urging students to persevere in their studies with dedication and faith, assuring them that their hard work will lead to success.

Directly addressing the scholars, she expressed, "You are all blessed to be chosen as beneficiaries of the OFOP program. Value and prioritize your efforts so that the opportunities provided by the provincial government are not wasted. This is not for us, but for you. We will be happy to see every family in Misamis Occidental have at least one professional who can support their family. It will bring us joy to see you complete your education and achieve your dreams."

In a recent address, Gutierrez delved into the profound impact of the transformative Asenso Pamilya: One Family, One Professional (OFOP) program. Spearheaded by the compassionate leadership of Governor Henry Oaminal, this initiative aims to uplift the lives of Misamisnons through education.

“This Asenso Pamilya: One Family, One Professional program is one of the initiatives of our beloved governor for our province," Vice Governor Gutierrez said. "If you know his life story, from his childhood to his youth and up to now, Governor Oaminal’s journey is incredibly inspiring."

She underscored Governor Oaminal's profound empathy for students grappling with financial constraints. Having faced similar challenges himself, the governor intimately understands the hurdles of pursuing education without adequate financial support.

Vice Governor Gutierrez concluded with a powerful message, "Your success is our success. As part of the Team Asenso family, always remember that you are the hope of your town and the entire province of Misamis Occidental."

As the semester ends, grantees with no failing grades are 100% assured of continuing their grant into the next semester.(SN/PGMO)
