Eurotel offers PLMSFI learners a scholarship

While educational institutions in several parts of the globe are resuming following pandemic-related disruptions, the Philippines’ courses are still closed down due to the COVID-19 problem. This disaster has exposed the multitude of inadequacies and prejudice in our educational system, and education is no exception. Another important lesson that the pandemic has taught us is the value of education.

Luckily, some private enterprises, such as Eurotel Hotel, continue to prioritize assisting children and youngsters with their education. Eurotel Hotel is sponsoring 10 students from Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila Scholars Foundation, Inc. (PLMSFI) for the academic year 2020-2021, thanks to the initiative of Mr. Edmundo G. Las, Director of Eurotel Hotel.

“Even before the pandemic, there were major holes for many poor or low-income families in the country who struggled to pay tuition fees for schools and lack of resources to cover emergency expenses. In this time of pandemic, all we need is care. We need more sensitivity. We need more people to care about one another; we should not let this pandemic drive down the will and eagerness of the children and the youth to brighten up their education. Actions can really create hope,” the Director of Eurotel said.

“As part of our Corporate Social Responsibility program, we at Eurotel Hotel are glad to help out by granting these students the opportunity to learn and grow despite the pandemic. We believe that education is a vital part of growing not only as a person, but a responsible Filipino as well. I hope that they will not forget our simple gesture thus, learn to share with people whenever they can.” Mr. Ed Las shared.

Eurotel Hotel continues to take further its cause in extending help to the community, by helping PLMSFI scholars who are in need, despite the current pandemic situation.

“We are aware that in these trying times; education is not something to be overlooked. As we extend our assistance to these gifted individuals just as we hope for a better future. Like PLMSFI vision, we believe that no student must be deprived of a good college education. There is an old Chinese proverb that goes, “If you want happiness for an hour, take a nap. If you want happiness for a day, go fishing. If you want happiness for a year, inherit a fortune. If you want happiness for a lifetime, help somebody, and true happiness is found in helping others.” Mr. Edmundo added. The PLMSFI was established in August 1998 by a group of Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila (PLM) baccalaureate graduates it aims to preserve and promote the mark of PLM model university for the less privileged, intellectually deserving students of Manila. As of today, PLMSFI has fifty (50) scholar beneficiaries. Their goal for the next tove years is to double the number of scholars or more and that would become possible if they can get more sustainable donations.
