As we mark the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Pasig's 27th Founding Anniversary this month, allow me to congratulate all stakeholders who continue to work hard to help the university grow and reach greater heights.

As an expression of gratitude, we filed 2 proposed ordinances on March 6, 2026:

1. Scholarship subsidy for full-time teaching personnel who are currently enrolled or will enroll in a Master’s Degree program.

2. Scholarship subsidy for full-time non-teaching personnel who are currently enrolled or will enroll in a Master’s or Doctorate Degree program.

Thank you to President Maningas for suggesting these measures to further support the professional development of our university personnel.

*Previously, the 11th Council approved a similar measure granting subsidy to full-time teaching personnel enrolled in a doctorate degree program.

PROPOSED ORDINANCE prohibiting incumbent local officials (Mayor, Vice Mayor, and Councilors) from endorsing beneficiaries to LGU-funded scholarship programs.

This measure strengthens our commitment to anti-patronage reforms and ensures that every scholar is selected based on merit, qualifications, and objective criteria — not personal connections.
