Awarding of Certificates

EAP is for deserving IP youths, says NCIP

By Jocelyn P. Alvarez

ISABELA CITY, Basilan – The National Commission on Indigenous Peoples (NCIP) is granting scholarships to IP youths to help them pursue their college education through a financial assistance dubbed Educational Assistance Program (EAP).

Speaking before some 30 IP college studentparticipants in a journalistic writing workshop, Abdurasid Buddick, regional EAP focal person of NCIP-9 said “you are very lucky to avail of this program. Huwag n’yo lang kami bibigyan ng rason at pagkakataon na tanggalin kayo sa master list (don’t give us a chance to strip you off from the master list.)”

Buddick advised the grantees to maintain their weighted average of 80 to be able to keep the scholarship until they graduate “huwag na huwag bababa ang grado nyo ng 80 sa general average, kahit na 1 point, or else I’m sorry, you will be out (Never let your general average be lower than 80, or else, you’re out.)”

Buddick also challenged the IP youths to have a grade of 92 or above for them to be accelerated to merit list and enjoy the benefit of a full scholar. “If you are going to have a good grade of 92 and above, I can accelerate you to merit list, a full scholarship, so you will be receiving 25,000 per semester.”

Regular EAP scholar receives only P10,000 per semester while full scholar gets 25,000 per semester.

“Normally, the grant is only good for four years.

However, if you are enrolled in a fiveyear course, we will give you until your fifth year so long as you can maintain your weighted average,” Buddick emphasized.

Buddick informed that the NCIP’s new system when it comes to the releasing of scholarship funds/allowance, it allows NCIP to pay directly to the school of the IP-grantee and any excess (allowance) will be deposited directly to the grantee’s account.

“That is why we need your bank account details and for those na wala pa, you need to open one.”

Poor but deserving members of the Indigenous Cultural Communities or Indigenous Peoples (ICCs/ IPs) who are high school graduates or college level within or covered by the jurisdiction of NCIP Regional Office may avail of the EAP.

NCIP-9 chief to IP studes: Make up yourself, love your tribe

By Claro A. Lanipa

DIPOLOG CITY – “Make up yourself and love your tribe because that is where you belong,” Regional Director Timuey Woy Lim Wong of the National Commission on Indigenous Peoples (NCIP)9, has challenged today the IP (indigenous peoples) college students attending the journalistic writing workshop held at Mibang Hotel this city.

Director Wong said this project, which is jointly implemented by Philippine Information Agency (PIA)-9, NCIP-9 and the US Embassy in Manila, seeks “to help you enhance your knowledge, talent and skills in writing.”

“In the market of job placement and employment today, competition is very

high, so you have to compete with your peers. If you don’t have the capability, talent and skills you will hardly find a job,” Wong said.

This is a very rare opportunity for you, because not all of the grantees under the Educational Assistance Program (EAP) of our office were called to participate in activity such as

this,” Wong added.

On the other hand, Director Wong appealed to the IP students to preserve their culture. “I saw there is a continuous erosion of your culture. Many of you are no longer speaking your dialect or you do not know anymore how to speak your own dialect. So, make up yourself and preserve

your tribe,” Wong challenged them.

“You cannot claim as Subanen if you do not know how to speak Subano. You need to, so that you will feel your belongingness to your tribe.

Please learn how to love your tribe,” Wong concluded.

By Claro A. Lanipa

PAGADIAN CITY – “In the five workshops that we have conducted throughout the region, we always instill in the mind of the participants the importance of loving yourself first, your tribe and preserving your culture,” PIA-9 Regional Director Noemi B. Edaga emphasized.

This was the closing message of RD Edaga during the IP Journalistic Writing Workshop yesterday at Chandler Suites, to the 31 participants and grantees under the Educational Assistance Program (EAP) of the National Commission on Indigenous Peoples IX (NCIP-9) in Zamboanga del Sur.

“PIA can only teach you to write, and we hope that the knowledge we shared will be kept alive in you by writing, re-writing and reading,” Edaga said.

“You are the only one who can write from the heart, from the IP’s point of view, ours is just to give you the tools,” Edaga pointed out.

She added, “this workshop will end up today, but I hope our connection would not end here because we are virtually connected through the internet.”

The lady chief encouraged the newly-elected officers and EAP grantees to unite, meet every now and then, send text messages to the group and encourage them to write or do something for their IP community.

“We want to see you shine through this workshop,” Edaga said.

Meanwhile, Mercilyn Hatad, NCIP Provincial Officer was optimistic that participants have learned much through this two-day training workshop given by PIA. “For

those of you who have the skills and talent in writing, this training will help enhance and improve it,” she encouraged.

Hatad was also grateful to PIA for helping the IP youths because this is one way to hone their skills and talents. “I am pretty sure that this training will be a great help to the EAP grantees,” Hatad declared.

“I challenge everyone to show me your write-up or output and I will exchange it with a reward. So that the effort of PIA and our office will not be in vain, it will pay-off,” Hatad inspired the grantees.
