 FROM THE SCHOLARS...

"To be here in UP and taking the course I am really interested in is like a dream come true. I would like to thank PCAFPD and all its donors for helping me realize this dream. Your financial support is of great help to me especially since my parents cannot afford the high cost of my studying. I believe you have still a lot of young Filipinos to help achieve their dreams. More powerful!" 
--Edwin Valientes, Batanes, 2005 graduate,
UP
Diliman, Anthropology 

"Every piece of knowledge is truly making me a better person. For the past year, I was again in interaction with my teachers, classmates, and people. I was not just learning the lessons taught in school, I was also learning the lessons of life. Every day I am progressing in mind and gaining a comprehensive understanding of events."
--Alma Roux, Mountain Province, 2005 graduate, UP Baguio, Social Sciences

"One of my teachers by the way asked me if I could be his research assistant, he said he wants to do research about durian, the king of fruit, about the behavior of people about it and what it signifies to people from all walks of life that are living here in Davao.  I’m really proud of it coz it’s a part of my heritage, from my grandfather until me the durian has always been a part of our lives.  I love Durian and for me its scent will always be one of the sweetest scents that I’ve ever smelled."
--Cyryn Tirol, Davao, UP Mindinao, Social Sciences
