"Iti last quarter Grade 12, dapat irugruginan nga ag-comply iti requirements tapnu at least, pagserrek na iti college, at least, by then, naaprubarenen siguro ti educational benefit na from first year agingga mapalpas na."
Apart from the educational benefit, Sabling said the PVAO also provides cash assistance of up to P18,000 for the review fees of their grantees who will take their board exams.
The basic requirements for the benefit include military service record(MSR), proof of filiation, a waiver executed by the veteran's children in favor of the waivee in case the veteran and the spouse are both deceased, and proof of identity or any valid ID.
Sabling clarified that the MSR is only required for applicants to secure at the Office of the Adjutant General at Camp Emilio Aguinaldo, Quezon City, if the veteran died earlier and did not receive pension from the PVAO.
The PVAO now has 59 scholars in the Cordillera. Descendants of veterans who wish to avail of the educational benefit may visit their office at Camp Allen, Baguio City. (JDP/DEG-PIA CAR)
