QUEZON, Nueva Vizcaya (October 1)—Eight more scholars of a London-based mining company here received their laptops in addition to scholarship funds for tuition and other school fees, according to Agnes Rosales, FCF Community Relations Office manager.
Rosales said the scholars are sponsored under the FCF Minerals program for the Development of Mining Technology and Geosciences or DMTG.
She said the scholars are all in their 2nd year taking up Bachelor of Science in Geology and Bachelor of Science in Mining Engineering at Adamson University in the city of Manila and Saint Louis University in Baguio City.
They are Billy Joe Natividad of Barangay (village) Balete in Diadi town, Jeobet Agualin and Ada Marie Ngipol of Butao village in Diadi, Leoniwin Keith Serrada of Mabuslo village in Bambang town, Princes Allysa Almuete of Oyao village in Dupax del Norte town, and Jon Tyrone Tacang of Bagahabag village in Solano town.
“The FCF Minerals Corporation is true to its vision and that is to enhance the lives of our people and local communities through the responsible management of the natural resources,” James Carmichael, FCF country manager.
Carmichael said this provision of laptops to the scholars is part of the benefits of the DMTG Scholarship Program being funded under Social Development and Management Program or SDMP of the company.
The laptops were personally handed over by Rosales and Benilyn Calilit, FCF scholarship program coordinator.
