SEAOIL, the leading independent fuel provider in the Philippines, has awarded a ₱100,000 cash incentive to the first beneficiary of its Angat Pangarap Program – Engineer Jose Reynaldo Cube.
Cube, who is a graduate of the Electronics Engineering program at the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Pasig (PLP), placed third in the Electronics Technician (ECT) board exams in October 2023 and is the first to receive an incentive from the Angat Pangarap initiative. This effort was launched in 2022 in partnership with the PLP and the Pasig City LGU. Angat Pangarap aims to inspire students to achieve academic excellence by pledging to reward top board passers from PLP, specifically those taking the licensure exams for nursing, teaching, accountancy, and engineering.
“Education is key whether or not you’re a topnotcher. SEAOIL’s incentive is not just motivation for students, but it instills discipline in themselves even at the undergraduate level. It also teaches them not to place too much pressure on themselves. SEAOIL is a driving force and motivation to be a topnotcher in the board exams,“ Engineer Cube said.
Since the launch of the program, the college has noticed a significant increase in academic performance, as seen in high scores on board exams compared to before the program began.
“SEAOIL is excited to recognize more dedicated scholars like Engineer Cube, who has not just dedicated time and hard work to succeed in the board exam. Our hope is that he and future board topnotchers inspire their peers to reach new heights,” said Mark Yu, SEAOIL’s Chief Finance Officer.
The Angat Pangarap program was set to run for only two years but will continue indefinitely. The unused allocations will be set aside to help fund PLP’s faculty training and research efforts to bolster the quality of education in the university.
