MAGANDANG araw po sa Aksyon Line. Isa po ako sa masugid na tagasubaybay ng inyong pahayagan. Ang tita ko po ay nagtatrabaho sa Qatar. Tumawag po kasi siya sa akin at pinapatanong niya kung on going pa rin po ang scholarship program ng OWWA. Katatapos lang po ng senior high ng kanyang panganay na anak. May apat po siyang anak. Bagaman nagtatrabaho siya sa ibang bansa ay hindi naman kalakihan ang sweldo kaya kung mabibigyan po ng pagkakataon ang kanyang anak na maging scholar po ng OWWA ay malaking tulong sa kanila lalo’t panganay po yung ka graduate lamang ng senior high school. Ask din po sana namin kung ano ang dapat gawin. Maraming Salamat po.
