Gorospe, held at the VGent Foundation House, Barangay Miramar, Magsingal, Ilocos Sur, on August 6, 2011.

INSPIRATIONAL MESSAGE

Overall Chairman of VGent Group of Companies, Mrs. Erlinda A. Gorospe talks about perpetual help on VGent's end after VFI Scholarship Grants awarding.

Since 2001, VGent Foundation, Inc. never stopped supporting deserving students which now comprised of 14 college scholars from University of Northern Philippines (UNP); 13 students from Magsingal National High School; 21 from San Juan National High School; and 10 from The Magsingal Institute (TMI).

Chairman Emeritus of VGent Group, Inc. Mr. Felicisimo P. Gorospe noted, “Indigent students who would like to finish their studies would be given the number one priority because for me, education is the best sustainability program for the community. We do not look at the grades of the scholars per se, but on the willingness and determination to finish school”.

HIS 75th
