MANILA–The city government of Taguig assured that it will provide all the need of the graduates and completers in its public schools.

“We want to assure that these activities will be memorable for the students, also to their beloved parents, that is why we want to make it enjoyable and comfortable for them,” Mayor Lani Cayetano said in statement.

About 13,000 sixth grade students are scheduled to graduate this year, while 8,000 10th grade students are set for completion in Taguig City’s public schools.

Cayetano said the city will also broadcast live on the Internet the streaming of the graduation rites of every public school in Taguig so their relatives abroad and outside of Taguig can view the event online.

“Students and their families can now share their academic milestones with their loved ones outside our city with the advent of the Internet and live streaming,” the lady mayor noted.

The city pioneered the e-Graduation in 2012 and has been observing this practice yearly where they live stream all the graduation events in every public school in the city.

Cayetano is congratulating the graduates and completers for their achievements in the elementary and secondary schools, saying she is like a proud parent to these children.

She is encouraging high school graduates to continue their education up to the tertiary level. Taguig City offers free college education at its own university and a PHP625-million scholarship fund which finances students’ education in various institutions including the University of the Philippines, Ateneo de Manila University and De La Salle University. There are eight types of scholarship granting subsidies of PHP10,000 to PHP100,000.
