ALABEL, Sarangani (March 17, 2022) – During the first Provincial Scholars’ Assembly on March 17, former senator Joseph Victor “JV” Ejercito visits and greets some Paaral para sa Sarangan (PPSS) scholars at the Capitol gym. Ejercito commended the leadership of Governor Steve Chiongbian Solon for prioritizing the youth’s welfare by giving scholarship grants. He encouraged the PPSS scholars to focus and finish their education “because you will have a better chance as you face reality kasi you will be equipped with knowledge, education and skills para pagka-graduate ninyo, better chance na maganda yung inyong makukuhang trabaho.” Ejercito was the principal author of the Universal Health Care law, Free Higher Education Act and one of those who approved the establishment of the Sarangani National Sports Academy (SaNSA).
