But why the
bias
for ACT?
ACT not the cheapest; UC is cheaper
CTU, CNU, and UP are the cheapest
These state schools offer better education
What now explains the bias for ACT?
Mere conflict of interest?Memorandum of Agreement between the Cebu City Government and the Asian College of Technology (ACT) on the Cebu City Scholarship Program dated June 24, 2010.
Beyond conflict of interest …MOA on the scholarship
program at the start of Mayor Rama’s term.
Questions:1. Why is Councilor
Abellanosa so brazen?
2. Is this mere conflict of interest? Or the brazen use of City Hall’s scholarship program for business and politics?
Guys! Go back one slide and
note Bebot’s signature. Why?
Lahi Ra Gyud! NGANO?
Bebot tubag!
