Roxas vows scholarships for valedictorians

Liberal Party (LP) standard bearer Manuel Roxas 2nd vowed to provide at least P400,000 worth of college scholarships to each of at least 5,000 high school valedictorians if he is elected president.

At a recent campaign stop in Pampanga attended by around 4,000 scholars of the provincial capitol, Roxas stressed that his administration will implement such a strategy because poverty should not get in the way of an intelligent student’s pursuit of a college education.
