DASMARIÑAS CITY, Cavite — The international fast food chain McDonald’s donated P1 million to the Kolehiyo ng Lungsod ng Dasmariñas (KLD) in aid to the public university’s first semester expenses.
Cavite Fourth District Representative Pidi Barzaga together with Dasmariñas City Mayor Jenny Austria-Barzaga and Sangguniang Panglungsod Member Kiko Barzaga received the donation from the McDonald’s branches in Barangays Antlers, Salawag and Salitran this October 25
KLD has a total of 1,477 enrolled students this school year for the first three courses offered: Bachelor of Science (BS) in Psychology, BS in Midwifery, and BS in Information Systems.
The city government shoulders the tuition and miscellaneous fees of the students enrolled in the public university in its mission to help the city’s youth to continue their studies and pursue their dreams of a better future.
In line with its mission, KLD accepts students of all ages who wish to gain a college degree – in fact has a 58-year old student enrolee, as well as graduates of the old High School curriculum, transferees from other college, and a night class which caters to working students.
Additional courses are also set for next year with BS courses in Civil Engineering, and Nursing to expand the free education offered to the people of the city.
“We are grateful to our concerned stakeholder businesses and groups such as McDonald’s for the financial assistance to help more students who want to continue their studies and graduate from college,” said Congressman Pidi Barzaga. — Ruel Francisco, PIA Cavite (with reports from Congressman Pidi Barzaga FB page)
