Greetings to all Gigaquitnons!
In the 8th Volume of Gigaquit Online, we are very pleased to announce that finally we began the selection process in choosing the very first recipient of GCC's scholarship project. This is the very first, hence, we call it GCC Scholarship Series #0001.
As of now, since this project is still in its infancy stage, GCC is still experimenting with different methods or modes of schooling assistance. We are very flexible as we realized that we have to depend on several factors like availability of guardian/foster parent, financial support, location of school, distance of school from residence, availability of courses and how it matched the preference of the scholarship candidates, etc.
On the other hand, the Gigaquit Civic Club members are mostly based in Manila so we rely on "Hometown Volunteers" to do the initial screening. We are very thankful especially to Mrs. Eliza Escabal (GNSHI Guidance Counselor) and Mr. Alex Natad who gave their time and rendered a very systematic and organized search for candidates. Another fine example of Gigaquitnon's unselfish act for the sake of their fellows.
Starting this Volume 8 also, if you notice there are more information about GNSHI. This is because through the initiative of Mr. Nick Virgen, they are able to create a website that is highly interactive and rich in updated information. The access of course is limited to GNSHI alumni and students only. But yours truly (GCC President) has been granted an "observer status" for which am very grateful. There is even a link to GCC website which makes it convenient to access information in both sites. From this example of GNSHI, our very own GOL has revised its "G-Pages" section to make it convenient for all Gigaquitnons to interact. For your reference, you may access G-Pages by clicking here.
Let me close this message with the affirmation that Gigaquitnons really have the skills and passion to make good things happen. Yes, we Gigaquitnons can!
