iskolar ng bayan act of 2014
Senate approves Iskolar ng Bayan Act
By Marvin Sy (The Philippine Star) | Updated July 31, 2014 - 12:00am
MANILA, Philippines - The Senate has approved on third and final reading the bill that would provide scholarships to the top graduates of public schools across the country.
Dubbed as the “Iskolar ng Bayan Act of 2014,” Senate Bill 2275 calls for the grant of scholarships to the state universities and colleges (SUC) of choice of the top 10 public high school students of their graduating class.
Under the bill, the scholar would be entitled to automatic admission in the SUCs of his choice within his province.
Because the different SUCs have varying sizes, some of the scholars might not be accommodated in the course and school of their choice within their respective provinces.
The responsibility then falls on the Commission on Higher Education to look for other SUCs outside of the provinces that can accommodate the scholar.
The bill also takes into consideration the existing demands of employers and so the different government agencies would be required to identify priority disciplines, programs and courses, taking into account labor market realities.
“The SUCs have the option to offer scholarship for these preferred courses, provided that the iskolar ng bayan shall be given preference in the slots available,” the bill stated.
Excluded from the coverage of the bill was the University of the Philippines (UP) because of its institutional autonomy as the national university based on its charter.
However, the bill states that UP should come up with its own scholarship programs for the top 10 students from public high schools.
Senate Majority Leader Alan Peter Cayetano, who authored the bill alongside his sister Senator Pia Cayetano, said that it is the responsibility of the government to provide opportunities to the millions of Filipino youth who end up dropping out of school because they could not afford the high cost of education.
“By providing more affordable higher education, the government will provide Filipino families and the youth with better opportunities for gainful employment that will lift them out of poverty,” Cayetano said.
The Senate also approved the bills institutionalizing the ladderized education program and the expansion of the open learning and distance education.
Ladderized education is a system of education that allows students to progress between technical-vocational (tech-voc) education and training (TVET) and college, and vice-versa, while at the same time opening opportunities for career and educational advancement for working and non-working students.
Senator Pia Cayetano, the chairperson of the Senate committee on education, arts and culture and the principal author of Senate Bill 2272 or the proposed Ladderized Education Act, explained that a student who has completed two years of tech-voc training will receive a certificate, allowing him or her to gain employment as soon as possible.
In the case of Senate Bill 2274 or the Open Learning and Distance Education Act of 2014, students would be able to get their education in non-traditional settings or outside of the classroom.
“Even though students and teachers are separated through time and space, the measure allows for instruction to be delivered through specially designed materials and methods, such as the use of more advanced technologies like the Internet,” Cayetano said.

Andres Bonifacio was born to Santiago Bonifacio and Catalina de Castro, a Spanish mestiza in Tondo, manila on November 30, 1863. He started his early education in the school of Guillermo Osmeña of Cebu. He reached only primary school. At the age of 14, his father and mother died, forcing him to quit his studies and to look after his younger brothers and sisters. As a means of support, he had them help him make wooden canes and paper fans, which he sold in the streets.
Having learned how to read and write, he became a clerk messenger of Fleming and Company, a business firm dealing with rattan, tar, and other articles of trade. Because of his industry he was promoted as agent. But his earning were still not sufficient to support the orphans. He moved to Fressell and Company as an agent. He showed determination and industry in his job. He supplemented his education through further reading and self-study. He wrote poetry and even became a stage actor in moro-moro. He later became a mason and a sworn enemy of Spanish authorities.
He became a member of La Liga Filipina, an organization founded by Jose Rizal upon his return from Europe. But when Rizal was deported to Dapitan making the Liga practically dead as an organization, he quickly organized the Kataastaasang Kagalanggalangang Katipunan ng mga Anak ng Bayan.This organization spread rapidly in 1894 in many parts of the Philippines. He felt that he was about ready to lead a successful revolt in May 1896. However, before he could act, the Katipunan was discovered by the authorities. More than 1,000 Katipuneros assembled with him at Pugad Lawin, Caloocan, on August 23, 1896 and tore their cedulas. Since the time the Katipunan was discovered, they evaded arrest, won uncertain victories and incurred severe defeats. This prompted the Magdiwang faction to invite Bonifacio to Cavite to settle their differences and remain united.
An assembly was called at Tejeros, Cavite. Bonifacio presided the conference to establish the Republic of the Philippines. In the election, Emilio Aguinaldo was elected President, Mariano Trias, Vice-President and Bonifacio as Secretary of the Interior. Daniel Tirona questioned Bonifacio's qualifications, and Bonifacio was offended. Evoking his authority as the supreme head of the Katipunan, he declared the proceedings void. Bonifacio moved to Naic, Cavite and started to form his own government and army. Meantime, the advancing troops of Spanish General Camilo de Polavia threatened to capture Cavite. Aguinaldo ordered Gen Pio del Pilar and Noriel who were being given new higher positions to leave the Bonifacio camp and go back to their duties.
Bonifacio with his family and men left Naic for Indang. On his return from Montalban, Aguinaldo sent men to arrest him, but Bonifacio resisted arrest and was wounded. He faced a trial for acts inimical to the existence of the new government and was given the death sentence by a military tribunal. Aguinaldo's men executed him in the mountains of Maragondon, Cavite on May 10, 1897.
