The local government of Taguig City gave scholarship vouchers and cash incentives to graduating and top students from the city's public high schools.

The P15,000 worth of scholarship voucher could be used for the graduating Grade 12 student's chosen college or university.

According to Mayor Lino Cayetano on Monday, the voucher entitles the bearer to claim the amount of P15,000 under the Lifeline Assistance for Neighbors In-Need (LANI) scholarship program, provided that the student enrolls in any technical-vocational, certificate, or baccalaureate course.

"This voucher is part of the L.A.N.I Scholarship Program that persuades graduates to take up  tertiary education. To our beloved students, we have faced so much this year, let us get inspiration from this graduation," the mayor said.

"We will not abandon you. We are a loving and nurturing community, we are one family," Cayetano added.

Meanwhile, Cayetano said all Top 1 graduating students from Grades 6, 10, and 12 also received a cash incentive of ?15,000 while the Top 2 students received ?12,500.

Further, the Top 3-10 elementary students also received P5,000 each from the local government while completers and senior high students received P7,500 each.

Cayetano added that the Top 1 students in each elementary class also received P2,500 while Top 1 completer and senior high students from each class received P5,000.

In February 2020, the city government passed Ordinance No. 6, Series of 2020, which allows a ?700 Million Scholarship Program that will continue Taguig's existing programs and offer new scholarship types.

As of April 2021, the city of Taguig has produced more than 58,000 scholars and continues to accept eligible applicants.—Anna Felicia Bajo/AOL, GMA News
