The scoreboard is heating up! Four teams have battled it out, but whoโ€™s taking the lead so far?

Team Scarlet Witch is currently leading with the most medals, followed by Team Black Panther, Team Doctor Strange, and Team Spiderman.

But itโ€™s far from over! More points are still up for grabs as the socio-cultural activities take the stage.

Who will rise, who will catch up, and who will take home the championship cup? Stay tuned!

๐Ž๐๐ˆ๐๐ˆ๐Ž๐ | ๐€ โ€œ๐…๐ฎ๐ง๐ ๐…๐ข๐ง๐ข๐ฌ๐ก๐ž๐ซโ€โ€”๐›๐ฎ๐ญ ๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ ๐ฐ๐ก๐จ๐ฆ?

For some, โ‚ฑ20,000 may be the support they need to complete their final year. For others, the same opportunity may have been out of reach, not because they were less deserving, but because they were never given the chance to apply. What does it mean to be a โ€œFund Finisherโ€ when not every student gets the chance to earn it?

The Bagong Pilipinas Barangay Scholars Program is a new opportunity from the Office of the President that provides financial assistance to five outstanding fourth-year students in every barangay. Each scholar is set to receive โ‚ฑ20,000, intended to help them complete their studies and graduate as a โ€œFund Finisher.โ€

Under DILG Memorandum Circular No. 2026-038, every barangay will receive โ‚ฑ200,000 in financial assistance. Half of the amount, or โ‚ฑ100,000, will be allocated to the five selected students, while the remaining half is intended to support barangay development projects.

However, concerns and allegations began circulating after the distribution of the assistance. Some students have taken to social media to question the selection process, claiming that there was no thorough screening, no properly disseminated announcement, and, more seriously, that some beneficiaries may have been chosen because they are Sangguniang Kabataan members or relatives of barangay officials.

These concerns raise an important question: Is โ‚ฑ20,000 enough to support a graduating student, and why only five?

For many students, especially those struggling to meet tuition, transportation, school requirements, graduation expenses, and other academic needs, โ‚ฑ20,000 can already make a significant difference. Yet with only five beneficiaries receiving assistance in each barangay, many other graduating students who are also struggling are left without the same opportunity.

The โ‚ฑ100,000 allocated for student assistance could provide meaningful support, but the selection of only five beneficiaries makes the process more important to examine. Who gets the assistance, how they are chosen, and whether every qualified student was given a fair chance should be made clear.

The program is meant to help students finish their education, but financial assistance can only fulfill that purpose if it reaches those who genuinely need it and if the process is transparent. Public assistance should never be a matter of who is known, who is favored, or who happens to be connected to those in power.

This is not a question of taking the assistance away from those who received it. It is a call for transparency and accountability. Barangay officials and concerned agencies should clearly disclose the selection criteria, the application process, and how the beneficiaries were chosen. Students deserve to know that every opportunity was open to those who qualified.

Because when public funds are meant to support students, fairness should not be an afterthought.
