EBest: the best!

i have a friend who works for the office of vice mayor teri onor of abucay, and he was assigned to accompany this 6th grader to Eat Bulaga, a noontime show here in the philippines celebrating its 3oyears in showbusiness. the reason why this kid needs to be in the show is that he is among 30 lucky incoming highschool freshmen this year to become scholars of the noontime show. the students were chosen all over the country who graduated as valedictorians/salutatorians, but are impossible to be supported by their parents financially to go to college. Php20,000 as an 'intial' gift to them, lots of school stationaries and supplies, bags, shoes, school and Physical Education uniforms, Php3,000 a month for 4 years, Php,5,000 every month of May for 4 years, a scholarship grant that would pay their tuition fee every year for 4 years, plus a surprise gift every month of May for 4 years.

isn't it nice that people on television here in the philippines are not just thinking about themselves? they believe, just like any other parent, that education is still one of the best things




you could give your child.

here are some on-the-set photos take by my friend:






^ Vic Sotto, one of the pioneers of the show, awards the scholarship...




^ TVJ (Tito, Vic and Joey) pioneers of Eat Bulaga sang for the EBest! scholars...




^ Some premier singers of the country sang for the future...
