PMA Class 1981, AFPEBSO aids 12 'Pablo' survivors

From the Philippine News Agency (May 24): PMA Class 1981, AFPEBSO aids 12 'Pablo' survivors

As part of its efforts to aid families still reeling from the effects of Typhoon "Pablo", the Philippine Military Academy (PMA) "Dimalupig" Class of 1981 and Armed Forces of the Philippines Educational Benefit System Office (AFPEBSO) partnered to provide educational grants to 12 survivors of the devastating storm.

PMA Class 1981 managed to collect P1 million for this endeavor.

The money was channeled to AFPEBSO as the latter is the organization tasked to give educational benefits to dependents of military personnel.

“This partnership signifies the start of a noble effort as we try to innovate and collaborate in providing assistance to the orphaned victims of Typhoon 'Pablo'," AFPEBSO assistant general manager Lt. Col. Danilo E Estranero said.

“I commend each and everyone here, for we are not just continuing what we have always been doing, we are also pushing ourselves to be more dedicated in service. With this partnership, we are strengthening our service and commitment," he added.

Grantees are all orphaned victims, with one or both parents who have died or declared missing as a result of "Pablo".

They will be supported until they graduated.
