Hi Christhine.

regarding with your inquiry, you can go to the nearest DOST Office with this matter. I just posted this news and I don’t know what are there qualifications or requirements.

Hi Bakhti,

If you will work hard here in the Philippines, you can surely study in the prestigious school here. Our colleges/ universities here are not that expensive as the other country.
