No less than Her Excellency Gloria Macapagal Arroyo appeared before the graduating cadets of the Citizenship Advancement Training of the SSC-R High School Department yesterday, March 8, 2010.

Introduced by the newly-appointed Trade Secretary Jesli Lapus, madam president especially mentioned that she couldn’t resist the invitation not only because SSC-R is a neighbor but also it has brought significant marks in history (because of its world-renown Basilica), and in academic and non-academic performances being “NO. 1 IN THE BAR EXAMS AND NO. 1 IN NCAA”.

President Arroyo underscored the important role of the youth in preparing the country to be in the First World in 20 years. She stressed that education plays a key role in promoting equitable and sustainable development. On this note, she highlighted the unprecedented scholarship program for private high school and college students citing that almost 50% of high schools are enjoying government scholarships.

Meanwhile, CHED Commissioner Nenalyn Defensor disclosed that there are 636,581 total beneficiaries of the CHED Scholarship Program to date which translates to a budget of P6.5B.

SSC-R Manila President Fr. Anthony A. Morillo, OAR expressed his great appreciation to President Arroyo for gracing the event.

Five schools from Manila and Quezon City sent their best players to join the Senior Basketbal Tryout last Saturday, March 6 at the SSC-R gym. The tryout seeks to uncover potential cagers who will have the opportunity to be trained and later join the STAGS, 2009 NCAA Senior Basketball Champion.
