On its commitment to help enable a person to live worthy, fulfilling and abundant life and in support to the Loboc Music Project, the University of Bohol granted college scholarship to qualified members of the Loboc Youth Ambassador Band.
In a memorandum of agreement signed between UB President Victoriano B. Tirol, Jr. and Mr. Argeo Melisimo, president, Loboc Youth Education Association, Inc. (LYEA), the university committed to grant college scholarship to young band members who will likewise become members of the UB Youth Band.
The Loboc Youth Ambassador Band is a poverty alleviation project of LYEA Inc. to help young Lobocanons finish degree courses. LYEA trains children starting Grade III to 4th year high school in notes reading and instrumentation for free and is provided with free musical instruments, solicited from patrons and donors. These young boys and girls perform in shows and concerts upon invitation of clients to generate income for purchase of uniforms and additional instruments.
The recent support of UB extended to young boholanos is part of its continuing corporate social responsibility. The school through the UB Community Development Foundation, Inc. also made various interventions to different LGUs in the province on poverty reduction intitiatives.
