Balitang Be Nice para sa UMak Graduating Students!

Naipasa na ang City Ordinance No. 2025-A-030 na magbibigay ng P5,000 cash incentives para sa lahat ng magtatapos sa University of Makati (UMak).

Layunin ng programang ito na tulungan ang mga bagong graduates sa kanilang paghahanda sa paghahanap ng trabaho—lalo na sa gastusin para sa pagkuha ng mga dokumento, clearances, at pamasahe.

Ang ordinansa ay ipatutupad sa 2026.

Ang ordinansa ay akda nina Coun. Joel Ariones, Coun. Mayeth Casal-Uy, Coun. Ferdie Eusebio, Coun. Dino Imperial, Coun. Arlene Ortega, Coun. Levy Ramboyong, Coun. Kristina Sarosa, Coun. Bernadette Sese, Coun. Bel Vitales, Coun. King Yabut Jr., at Coun. Tristan Pangilinan.

Kung matatandaan, si Mayora Ate Nancy ay isa sa mga co-author ng Republic Act 11261 o First Time Jobseekers Assistance Act. Nilalayon ng batas na ito na tulungan ang mga bagong graduates at first-time jobseekers sa pamamagitan ng libreng pangunahing government documents.

📣 Meet One Of Our Founder: Rhianna Shanelle Umandal | College of Governance and Public Policy

Before the sun rises or after it sets, countless young Filipinos juggle jobs and school—not out of choice, but out of necessity and survival. Rhianna Shanelle Umandal's advocacy, "Early Heroes: Empowering the Silent Builders of Tomorrow," shines a powerful light on these silent warriors.

Rhianna stands for crucial systems that genuinely uplift working students: fair working hours, robust mental health support, equitable access to scholarships, and deeper understanding from academic institutions. Her project recognizes the immense weight they carry, approaching them not with pity, but with profound admiration.

To Rhianna, working students are not merely surviving; they are persevering. She believes their strength deserves unequivocal recognition, protection, and respect.

Join Rhianna in recognizing and empowering our "Early Heroes"!

📣 Meet One Of Our Founder: Yvan Quinto Gabriel | Institute of Psychology

Yvan's mission is clear: to uplift and empower working students through his inspiring advocacy, “Heron's Huddle: The Life of Early Heroes.”

As a working student himself, Yvan possesses a profound understanding of the immense pressure and fatigue that comes with balancing studies and employment. This personal insight is the driving force behind his project. Heron's Huddle aims to build a strong, supportive community for working students by creating necessary opportunities, actively promoting mental wellness, and advocating for better access to essential scholarships and resources.

Yvan firmly believes that working students embody incredible resilience and responsibility. He insists that they should not be shamed for their choices, but rather celebrated for their dedication and perseverance. With the right societal and governmental support, Yvan is confident that these students can soar to great heights and contribute significantly to building a more prosperous nation.

Join Yvan in championing our early heroes!
