A scholar of the foundation, Kian Fresnido, recently passed the PMA Entrance Examination conducted last August 25, 2019 in 41 testing centers nationwide. According to PMA, 1629 out of more than 30,000 passed the PMA Entrance Examination. The next phase of their selection process is the Complete Physical Examination.

Kian Fresnido is currently enrolled as a Senior High School student in the Philippine Christian University in Dasmarinas. His dream is to become a pilot. The goal of the Faith Family Foundation from the very beginning is to support the dream of people like him. Kian shares that entering the Philippine Military Academy has always been the dream. The Faith Family Foundation congratulates Kian Fresnido for being a model of faith and diligence to the younger generation.

Hi, Im Gladys Dagongdong, 20 years old, a graduate of Bachelor of Science in Computer Science in Computer Science sa Eulogio Amang Rodriguez Institute of Science and Technology Cavite Campus. My father Domingo Dagongdong is a company employee while my mother Fidela Dagongdog is a housewife.

One of those who helped me realize this dream was GMA Faith Family Church. I was invited to teach children in church and I really enjoyed it. I am currently a volunteer in the Children Ministry of Faith Family Church.

The foundation was a great help to me because aside from financial support, they also helped me become responsible. As a scholar, I had to follow rules in the foundation. One of these rules include arriving on time and on schedule when we are assigned to clean the church. I learned to be responsible with the tasks assigned to me.

Now that I have graduated, I consider myself a product of GMA Faith Family Foundation. I will strive to help my family as well as other students who want to finish their studies but lack financial means.

Thank you to all the supporters of GMA Faith Family Church. Without your help, I would not be able to finish my studies and I would not have become a Degree holder and now an IT Staff/ Marketing Executive in a private company. Thank you very much!

To GOD be the glory and God bless us all!

Hi! My name is Christian, I’ve been a scholar of the foundation since 2013 when I was a freshman in college. It’s a great burden for my parents to send me to school because at that time my father didn’t have a job so sometimes I had to find ways to get money for my tuition fee and allowance. My expenses in school usually add up to our other expenses in the house and in our life as a family which is why sometimes we don’t even have money to buy food.

That is why the foundation has been a great help in my life. I dream of having a career as a “Web Developer”. I’m really passionate about anything related to technology which is why I chose to study Information Technology. Because of the goodness of God, the GMA Faith Family foundation gave me the opportunity to study. My financial needs as a student were provided for and I also developed my spiritual growth and relationship with the Lord through cell groups.

Now that I’ve graduated I was influenced by the foundation to be generous to others. The foundation showed me how the Lord works in the life of every person so as much as possible I want to show the same kindness towards others if not more. I also want to help other students who are struggling financially in their studies according to my own capacity. I also learned how to become a good leader to others and I want to impart a similar kind of leadership to other students besides the financial help. I’m also able to share my knowledge to other students who struggle with the program I took as a college student.

Good day!

I am Patrecia Louise D. Solocasa, 22 years old, and now a graduate of BS Electronics Engineering from Lyceum of the Philippines University – Cavite. I have been a scholar of the Faith Family Foundation since high school. The Foundation has been a great help for me and my family, especially when my family and I went through financial hardships, like the time the company my father worked at was closed down.

My journey as an engineering student was tough and I encountered a lot of struggles. I even came to a point where I wanted to give up. The Foundation was not only a source of financial help, but of spiritual help. I was constantly reminded that it is through God, who gives me strength, that I am able to finish my studies. I am also appreciative towards the people who believed in me, encouraged me, and gave me love and support even as I struggled to finish my degree.

Because I have experienced firsthand how the Foundation has helped me, once I finish my board exam, I want to help and share my blessings to the Foundation so other students are able to finish their studies.

Thank you, and God bless you all!
