A Memorandum of Agreement was signed on Monday between Baliuag University and the Pandi Municipal Government to offer free law studies for all qualified local government unit (LGU) employees.
Under this agreement, the LGU will cover all expenses related to the Juris Doctor (JD) program, including tuition, miscellaneous fees, academic-related fees, allowances, and other support for eligible LGU-Pandi employees.
Mayor Enrico Roque stated that the program aims to provide employees with the opportunity to study law without financial constraints, thereby enabling them to serve the citizens of Pandi more effectively and competently.
Engracia Mauricio, a municipal employee, expressed gratitude for the initiative, saying, “Mayor Roque doesn’t want us to stand still; he wants us to develop more professionally and increase our knowledge related to providing public services.”
Evelyn Martin, the Public Market Administrator in Pandi, added that the initiative instills greater confidence and inspiration among employees. “The help to us is greater; we are very inspired. Thank you very much for such initiatives because the benefits are not only for us but also for the entire town,” she remarked.
