Phinma Education, CARD help underserved Laguna students

Phinma Education’s Laguna Network, which includes Rizal College of Laguna and Union College of Laguna, has partnered with local microfinance institution Center for Agriculture and Rural Development Mutually Reinforcing Institutions (CARD-MRI) to bring accessible, quality education to underserved students in Laguna and neighboring provinces through its Flex and RAD Learning programs.

“PHINMA Education has always been guided by the mission of making lives better through education. We believe that the underserved youth of the Philippines have the potential to build a better nation if they are equipped with the skills and values to do so,” said Ramon R. del Rosario Jr., Phinma president and CEO.

According to CARD-MRI founder and chairman emeritus Jaime Aristotle Alip, the partnership will allow RCL and UCL students to benefit from CARD MRI’s loan programs, internships, and employment opportunities.

“We are also looking forward to CARD-MRI’s members and their children, as well as employees, to study in Phinma Education schools and be able to avail the HK50 scholarship. With our significant experience in microfinance, we will give our inputs on the BS BA Major in Banking and Microfinance curriculum, among others,” Alip said.

PHINMA Education has molded scholars in nine schools across the country to notch high licensure examination rates and even higher employment rates.

Students credit the program for helping them with learning challenges amid a global pandemic.

“When I learned classes wouldn’t be face-to-face, I thought I would need to stop because I would not be able to keep up. But when Phinma RCL offered RAD Learning, it gave me hope,” said Clarence Balonzo, a BS Education Major in Filipino student.

“I want to finish my studies and I’m very thankful because our teachers are very understanding. As a mother, I also teach my own children, and I stopped studying for a long time, so I had no idea if I could study [during the pandemic],” said Czarina Marie Obe, a BS Secondary Education Major in English student.

“I was able to finish all the activities with the help of my teachers, classmates, and by reading the modules,” she said.

Phinma Education has an 80 percent average first-time passing rate for licensure exams with some 82 percent of students getting hired within a year of graduation.

It has had 104 board exam topnotchers since its inception in 2004.

The Laguna Network will offer several high- employability programs like Criminology, Accounting, Business Administration, and Education and provide a number of Hawak Kamay (HK) scholarships to qualified students.

“Because of this partnership with CARD-MRI, the potential of making lives better is greatly amplified. We are happy to have you with us as we put the underserved students first, ensuring that our shared mission for this new partnership will positively impact lives. Let us learn together, grow together, and make lives better together,” Del Rosario said.
