Pasig solon adopted ‘son of Kalinga’


By Peter A. Balocnit

TABUK CITY, Kalinga --Rep. Roman Romulo of the Lone District of Pasig City is now an “adopted son of Kalinga.”
Resolution No. 2016-19 passed by the Sangguniang Panlalawigan and approved by Governor Jocel Baac declared Romulo adopted son of Kalinga for his “invaluable support and contribution to the approval by Congress of  the law converting the Kalinga-Apayao State College into the Kalinga State University.”
Romulo was the Chairman of the Committee on Higher and Technical Education in the House of Representatives when Republic Act No. 10584 converting KASC to a state university was approved into law.
Romulo was guest speaker during the recent 21st founding anniversary of Kalinga. In his message, he cited the need for wider dissemination of educational programs that help students get higher education.

He cited RA No. 10684 or the “Iskolar ng Bayan Act of 2014” he authored which provides financial assistance to top 10 graduates of public high schools in the country. – Peter A. Balocnit
