Over 3K students get an allowance from MisOcc gov’t

 


More than 3,000 students have benefited from the allowance distribution of the Provincial Government of Misamis Occidental, through the leadership of Governor Henry Oaminal, from December 20 to 21.

Student-beneficiaries from different towns in the Misamis Occidental received a two-month allowance equivalent to P10,000 from the provincial government.

On top of this, an additional P5,000 worth of Christmas cash gifts was also given to student-beneficiaries who were residing in the cities of Ozamiz, Tangub, and Oroquieta, as well as the towns of Bonifacio, Calamba, Clarin, Jimenez, Tudela, Panaon, Sinacaban, Aloran, Lopez Jaena, Plaridel, Baliangao, Sapang Dalaga and Conception, and Don Victoriano. 

The initiative was part of the provincial government’s Asenso Pamilya program wherein grantees can avail themselves of vocational or tertiary education with a provision of a P5,000 monthly stipend throughout the school year semester.

The financial assistance shall cover essential expenses, including lodging, transportation, supplies, and other related costs associated with pursuing vocational or tertiary education.

Gov. Oaminal hoped the program would be sustained until the end of his term in pursuit of the provincial government’s goal of pushing “more Misamisnons could have at least one employed professional in their families” by 2026.

“Ang atong programa karon nga para matabangan ang mga pamilya, ang mga katawhan nga ma professional, makahuman ang atong mga kabataan og eskwela mao na nga atong gimugna ang One Family, One Professional program (Our current program is to help families, people to become professionals, and our children to finish school; that's why we created the One Family, One Professional program)," Oaminal said.

In a social media post, Oroquieta Mayor Lemuel Meyrick Acosta expressed heartfelt gratitude for Gov. Oaminal’s unwavering support.

Mayor Acosta cited the governor’s vision under the One Family, One Professional (OFOP) Program, which has become part of the town’s improvement in social services.

“Your dedication is transforming lives and shaping a brighter future for Oroquieta City. Thank you for empowering us to reach new heights,’’ Acosta said.

The student-beneficiaries also took an opportunity to thank the governor for pushing such a very educational and supportive initiative for the Misamisnons.

“Daghang salamat Gov sa tabang sa mga estudyante para makab-ot namo ang among pangandoy sa kinabuhi para maka-haw-as sa kalisod,” one of the beneficiaries said.

Water System Project gives flowing hope to people of Barangay Bonifacio, Calamba, MisOcc

  In the heart of Misamis Occidental, Barangay Bonifacio in Calamba, there’s a government push for a transformative initiative—a testament that providing a quality public service to every Misamisnon is the primary vision of Governor Henry Oaminal. The provincial government’s water system project has become a lifeline for the residents in the province’s far-flung communities. For years, these people have been suffering from water scarcity, forcing them to exert extra effort to go through difficult digging just to acquire such essential life requirements. Tatay, a resident in the area, shared how hard for him to get water. He has to walk miles-after-miles while carrying heavy water containers rain or shine.

It was a grueling and time-consuming task. Our daily lives revolved around this quest ...
