New PAMAG/UPKAA Scholar
We would like to introduce Ainjelou Marie Arce, our new Study Now Pay Later PAMAG/UPKAA Scholar. She recently graduated from UP Diliman with high honors (magna cum laude). She finished BS Family Life and Child Development with an aim of going into medical school. She was accepted as part of the 2022-2023 freshman batch at University of the East Ramon Magsaysay College of Medicine. Working all through college while maintaining high grades, she impressed us with her dedication and hard work. Her mother, who is a public school teacher in Lucena City, Quezon, had been her main source of financial support . We are proud to help her attain her goal of becoming a doctor and servint the people of Quezon. We hope to support her in this path and offer her a chance to fulfill her dreams.

She accomplished this even while working part time and actively participating in UP Kalilayan, a student organization in Diliman that not only fosters close ties amongst students from Quezon Province but also gives back with numerous projects undertaken by both current members and its alumni. We wish you the best and MABUHAY!

PAMAG Donation of Books and Used Clothes to Kal-Anan Elementary School
Ms. Rowena Dungog, Principal of Kal-Anan Elementary School in Tabogon, Cebu received the donation of children’s books and used clothes for the school as part of PAMAG’s Books for the Barrios program. This was made possible by the generosity of Dr. Arlene Dijamco and family and Atlas Balikbayan Shipping.
Kal-Anan Elementary school was one of the original recipients of a school building with two classrooms after the devastation of Typhoon Yolanda in 2013. After that, PAMAG had continued their support with books, school supplies, used clothing through PAMAG’s Books for the Barrios Program. With the Covid pandemic forcing schools into remote lessons, PAMAG continued their support of the school with more school supplies and printers for the school. Hopefully, with the continued support of PAMAG, the school children will enjoy learning by reading and the teachers will also benefit from our donations.
PAMAG & RCUD GIFTS TO THE COASTAL COMMUNITY OF DAGUPAN CITY
The Rotary Club of Uptown Dagupan and PAMAG brought compassion to the scavengers in Bonuan Gueset. They are referred as “manga-ngalakal” in Filipino vernacular. They collect discarded plastics, bottles, papers, and metals and sell these recyclable materials. Bonuan Gueset is located in the coastal area of Dagupan City. These low-income families are vital to the collection of said recyclable materials in the coastal area and it is their primary source of income. Previous projects awarded five “manga-ngalakal” tri-bikes donated by the club through the Rotary District grant as a livelihood enabler to help them become more effective at collecting recyclable materials which translates to a DIRECT POSITIVE IMPACT AT CONSERVING THE ENVIRONMENT.
In addition, PAMAG in memory of its Past President Dr. Victor Bautista, and RC Uptown Dagupan distributed 20 grocery packs to these families last June 29, 2022. The grocery packs contained rice, noodles, milk, loaf of bread with spread, canned goods, coffee biscuits, and multivitamins for children. We hope that these food packs bring some immediate relief to their families and that future projects can help improve their livelihood.
