Poverty should never be hindrance to any course of career path an individual is trailing.
The same is true for the Cecilia Stock Farms, Inc.’s (CSFI) thrust to continue aiming for educational excellence. A great proof of fulfilling this mission is the full scholarship grant pledge by the company to the less fortunate pupils and students of barangay Mahayag in Bunawan, Davao City who possesses the intelligence, dedication and hard work to make use of education as a key to success.
It is the company’s pride that since 1992 up to the present, 60 scholars have already benefited the scholarship program. 20 of who became successful in the career paths they have taken as teachers, businessmen, accounting graduates and medical technologist.
And as another academic year passed, the company is more than happy and proud to congratulate five (5) more scholarship recipients who will enjoy the privileges that the scholarship program has to offer. These fortunate students, four (4) elementary pupils will have a chance to study high school and one (1) high school graduate will have the chance to get college education for free.
Gracing the 2nd commencement ceremony of the Mahayag National High School held last March 19, 2013 (adopted school of Cecilia Farms which the scholars were enrolled), Teresita Pascual, CSFI General Manager and Farm Administrator shared that there are 5Ps to reach the epitome of a successful career- plan, passion, perseverance, patience and prayer. When an individual possesses these 5Ps, he or she will be able to grasp a brighter future and will definitely become triumphant in his life.
Many students have been inspired and as they graduate, they will be guided with the 5Ps in pursuing to the next level of higher education. The parents of the recipients on the other hand were very thankful of the privileges handed over to their children
Meanwhile, the scholarship program given by the company has been part of their adopt-a-school program which is also their corporate social responsibility (CSR). But for Cecilia Stock Farms, Inc. this is not only CSR; what counts most is the drive to continue aiming for educational excellence because, whatever the cost of education may be, the price is cheap compared to that of an ignorant nation.
