+The grant will go to the rehabilitation of an undisclosed number of roads and other public infrastructure damaged by recent typhoons, the embassy said.
-“We have to be creative, we have to be curious. Faculty members, not only students, must have that sense of curiosity and creativity— (kung) paano maituturo (sa mga estudyante), paano mapupukaw ang kaisipan ng mga bata para taluntunin ang daan ng higit pang kaalaman na dapat nilang mapag aralan,” he emphasized.
-He also said that as accreditors, their task is to help, not to discriminate.
