Scholarships, an engine for social mobility
Business World Philippines
|November 21, 2025
IT HAS BEEN an enduring belief that education is the greatest equalizer.
In the classroom, education does not see any social classes — but access to it does. The youth is the future of any nation, yet the education sector has been one of the Philippines’ greatest problems with poverty as the contributing factor. This is reflected in a statistic by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA): nearly 11 million children and young Filipinos are not attending formal school.
Acknowledging this persisting situation, leading companies and conglomerates endeavor to invest in education, from building classrooms to providing scholarships.

Bright spot in a gloomy 3rd quarter
The 4% growth of GDP in the third quarter of the current year has dampened the mood of investors. This is way below the government's target of 5.5% to 6.5% for the whole of 2025. Most analysts attribute this below-average growth rate to the corruption scandal that exploded during the third quarter and the natural calamities such as earthquakes and super typhoons that occurred during the quarter.
