MAASIN CITY, Southern Leyte, Feb. 13 (PIA) -- Graduating high school students here and anywhere in the province who belong to the top five of the graduating class were challenged by the province's representative to avail of his scholarship program for the coming school year, 2012-2013. | |||
But one pre-requisite condition should be met, and that is, that the student take up an agriculture course at a government school here in the province, referring to the Southern Leyte State University (SLSU) or the Maasin City College (MCC). | |||
According to Aida Morsen Moralde of Cong. Roger Mercado’s district office, there were students in the past who availed of the lawmaker’s initiative, as agriculture was one of the courses listed under the Congressman’s scholarship program. | |||
So far, however, someone has yet to graduate from this course, as the tendency was to shift to other courses, it was learned. | |||
In a recent meeting with heads of national line agencies, Mercado announced his desire to help graduating students continue college schooling, even as he singled Agriculture as the preferred course to be taken up. | |||
He appealed on the students to spread the word to those interested to pursue an agriculture degree, especially if he or she belongs to the upper level of the graduating class. | |||
Last month, Mercado rallied concerned stakeholders in his vision of a Southern Leyte province that will become a producer, no longer a consumer, of agriculture products, to reverse the trend nowadays that virtually anything agricultural sold in the market either came from Cebu or Mindanao. | |||
The province should be producing these staples so that it can be self-reliant and can even sell to other places of the country, Mercado said. | |||
During the Agriculture-Tourism summit last month, Mercado had linked up with the regional office of the Department of Agriculture (DA), the people’s organizations, and the Mayors of the different local government units in the province to start mapping a roadmap or blueprint for the province’s full-speed agricultural development.
