COUNCILOR El Cid Familiaran has passed a resolution requesting Public Employment Services Office (Peso) manager Moises Dela Cruz to submit the list of city scholars to the City Council.
The request came as the city scholars continue suffering from the delayed allowances and tuition subsidies from the Local Government of Bacolod.

The resolution cited the numerous reports concerning the city scholars' problems, which have been aired over media outlets and which have circulated around the city. Such complaints by the scholars range from unpaid tuition fees for a number of semesters and withholding of allowances that scholars are entitled to under City Ordinance 386, Series of 2005. Reports further state that because of such conditions, many city scholars have quit college because the schools they attended would no longer enroll them. Others were forced to quit because they have not received their allowances for the past two or three semesters. Familiaran said the implementation of the present city's scholarship program and the plight of the city scholars deserve to be looked into by the City Council. For the council members to appreciate the problems and concerns raised, including questions on the implementation of the city's scholarship program, they need pertinent data, Familiaran added. Mayor Evelio R. Leonardia has also expressed concern on the plight of the city's scholars. He said that he will re-evaluate the city's scholarship program. He has also requested from the PESO Manager a detailed report about the status of the city scholars. (Carla N. Canet) Sun star
