Gigaquit Civic Club "Operation Tabang Paeskuyla" # 0002


Posted by Steven Egay
For Gigaquit Civic Club
December 13, 2010


Please note "socialized scholarship" inin ato dili kun "academic scholarship". Socialized scholarship ini sidja kay an main objective is poverty alleviation. Sa academic scholarship, regardless kun datu o pobre an estudyante basta high scholastic achiever pwede. Sa GCC scholarship mga gikan ra sa mga pobre na pamilya an moqualify.



Phase 1
(selection nan guardian)

Timetable: Whole month December 2010

Qualification nan guardian? Basic ra . . . anybody of good moral character and a model Filipino citizen. Priority Gigaquitnon ra sab. Pero pwede bisan dili kun way Gigaquitnon na makita.

An guardian will determine the courses, schools and location that he/she wishes to sponsor . . . depende sa idja circumstances and financial capability.

2 ka klase na guardians: An una Guardian Full tapos an ikaduha Guardian Partial. An pasabot sa Guardian Full idja tanan pati expenses sa tuition, miscellaneous, etc. An Guardian Partial basically idja guihapon an bayay sanan food pero sa tuition and other related expenses, an GCC na an maghanap nan donors na makatabang sa expenses.

Preferably an scholar live in the same house nan guardian. Iklaro nato na dili senorito/senorita an scholar. Kinahanglan motabang sab sidja sa bayay or activities nan idja guardian "for as long as dili maapektuhan... an pageskuyla". An basic difference sa masugo na tagpaeskuyla sanan sa inin ato foster-parent scholarship kay an masugo part-time student ra . . . an household chores an idja priority, while an GCC scholar fulltime student tapos part-time ra tabang sa guardian.


Phase 2
(screening nan student candidates for scholarship)

Timetable: January ~March 2011

All scholarship applicants shall undergo a comprehensive process of selection.
The criteria are the following:
- Very less fortunate (verified in terms of household income)
- By character
- By grading system

An student candidates selection is a 3-filter process.

FIRST Filter: An selection committee na an members Gigaquit-based magrecommend sa GCC nan at least 5 candidates for every slot, as much as possible.

SECOND Filter: AN GCC will cut down the list of finalists to only 3 for every slot

THIRD Filter: An guardian na hintungdan amoy mamili among the finalists kun sin-uy idja kaganahan. If possible, idja istoryahon an kada isa by mobile phone. Importante na magkasinabot sanan comfortable with each other an guardian sanan an tagpili na scholar.


OTHERS:
Enrollment: April~May 2011
Schooling : starting June 2011

Charlie Asilum GCC SCHOLAR PLEDGE

The GCC (Gigaquit Civic Club) has conducted a Scholarship program to help Gigaquitnons ascend their lives through financial and moral assistance. In choosing a scholar, they exerted their efforts just to select a Gigaquitnon that would qualify on all its requirements and would do the responsibilities that go with it.
I, Charliemen Ellorico Asilum, has been given the opportunity to qualify as their scholar. And with this, I pledge that I will do my best to get an average not lower than 85%. I promise that if I already have an acceptable job, I will sponsor the schooling of their another scholar. This will be done through God's grace. May the Almighty Father bless me always.

Am happy to disclose that we received another donation worth P1,000 for the 1st sem, 2nd year College schooling of our GCC Scholar #0001.

But again, this is still far from the total of P16,400 that we need for this semester and the preliminary exam payment due is nearing.

Again, we the Gigaquit Civic Club wish to appeal for financial support from all Gigaquitnons and friends around the world so that this scholarship project could go on.

God Bless you all!

Why Not Us?


Posted by Steven Egay
For Gigaquit Civic Club
March 30, 2010


My cousin who is working with ABS-CBN Europe wrote this article . . . please click the title >>

Swiss cop quits job to help kids in Philippines


This is a moving story which made me think of a few things like:
1. It is embarrassing that a foreigner would have to do it for our kids?
2. Why not do it ourselves . . . not only for the sake of compassion but also for our self-respect?

I know that you cannot give something that you don't have. So this challenge of compassion and charity that I would raise is addressed to "The Have's" of Philippine society. For us Gigaquitnons in particular, this is addressed to our well-off kababayans.

By the way, I would like to cite the Gigaquitnons who have supported the Gigaquit Civic Club (GCC) projects especially our Scholarship initiative. Your help is much appreciated. This business of helping our less fortunate kababayans is the business of all Gigaquitnons . . . not just of the GCC.

We also appreciate those Gigaquitnons who are doing their share in a silent manner. Their activities may not be very visible but am aware of their efforts to help not only relatives but also others finish their education.

Lastly, I remember the adage "No man is so poor that he cannot help, and no man is so rich that he will not be in need of assistance" (I can't remember the exact words but the idea is the same). So to those who does not have the financial wherewithal, you could still help through your talents, efforts and time. For example, you can help the GCC solicit for our projects. Another is communicate our "mission"to those who have not read or heard about what we are trying to do. And several other possibilities . . .

Is Alambique, Gigaquit the place of origin of Las-ay?


Posted by Steven Egay
For Gigaquit Civic Club
March 23, 2010


The word Alambique comes from the word Alembic which means . . .
1. a vessel with a beaked cap or head, formerly used in distilling.
2. anything that transforms, purifies, or refines.
Origin: 1350–1400; ME, var. of alambic < ML alambicus < dial. Ar al the anbÄ«q still < Gk ámbix cup

Also, please check these . . .
http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alambique
http://www.alambique.org/
http://www.alambiques.com/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alembic
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/alembic

From the above information, we can deduce that the word Alambique is related to wine making . . . which led to the question . . . is it in Barangay Alambique, Gigaquit where our Las-ay wine originated?

Love thy kababayan


Posted by Steven Egay
For Gigaquit Civic Club
March 8, 2010


Dear Gigaquitnons and friends around the world,

Let this message begin with the following words . . .

HELP A STUDENT, HELP A FAMILY, HELP A TOWN, HELP A NATION, HELP THE WORLD!

This coming June 2009, the Gigaquit Civic Club wish to send at least 1 poor but deserving Gigaquitnon high school graduate to college. We believe that this is one way of helping him, helping his family and so on. . . We just don't know the full extent and impact of this project will be in the future, but surely if pursued continuously, will result to a more progressive Gigaquit.

As has been said in management, the most important asset of all is human resource. Our colleagues in GCC are fine examples of good Gigaquitnon material. Possessing good qualities that can effect positive changes to the world. Now, we have kababayans who are untapped material. If given the right break they will rise, overcome obstacles and will do us all proud. All they need is somebody to lend a hand . . .

. . . and why not make that lending hand be yours? This is an opportunity not only for them but also for you to make your mark. That student whom you will send to school will be like your own child. His success will be yours as well.

Take this challenge ... take this chance.

For details how you can help, please contact the Gigaquit Civic Club at contact-us@gigaquitonline.com or call us at (632) 8346306.
