Governor Rogelio J. Espina once again reaffirmed his unwavering commitment to uplifting the lives of every Biliranon through the continuous provision of financial assistance programs focused on education, livelihood, and social welfare.

A total of 358 third and fourth-year college students received educational assistance to help sustain their academic journeys and inspire them to pursue their dreams despite challenges. Meanwhile, 10 families from the Mamanwa Tribe were granted shelter assistance, reflecting the Provincial Government’s continued support for Indigenous Peoples and vulnerable sectors in the community.

Also among the beneficiaries were five students who received support under the Review Assistance Program to help them prepare for their licensure examinations, while 19 trainees enrolled in the Call Center Hub Training Program were granted financial subsidies aimed at enhancing their skills and opening more employment opportunities.
In his message, Governor Espina emphasized the importance of empowering and strengthening the local workforce as a driving force for the province’s continued growth and progress. He highlighted the need to create sustainable opportunities within Biliran so that every Biliranon may achieve stable and meaningful employment without having to leave their families behind in search of work abroad.

Through these initiatives, the Provincial Government continues to demonstrate its dedication to building a more empowered, self-reliant, and hopeful Biliran community.
