Philproperties Supports Indigents Scholarship Program

Emanuel “Manny” Florendo, President and Chairman of the

Philproperties International Corporation recently expressed its full support for the
scholarship program for indigents of Camarines Norte Vice Governor Joseph V.
Ascutia. Realtor Florendo conveyed his intention to the provincial executive at
the golfing event held last November 21, 2023, at the Valley Golf and Country
Club in Antipolo City. The proceeds of this event titled “Golf Tournament for a
Cause,” a project of the vice governor which was also supported by Florendo,
are for the benefit of the poor but deserving college students from the Province
of Camarines Norte.
Florendo said he believes that to ensure the success of laudable
projects such as this, there should be involvement from the private sector. “Our
government leaders could initiate, but the success of any endeavor for the
betterment of the lives of the less privileged rests upon the collective and
the positive response from our people, especially from the business sector,” said
the realtor.
He also emphasized the value of education and training as it was thru
this that he himself rose from humble beginnings as a child from a middle-income family
in the third-class municipality of Capalonga in Camarines Norte. Likewise,
Florendo lauded the initiatives of Vice Governor Ascutia in coming up with pro-
poor projects that are not dependent on government funds for their
implementation.
