MEGAWORLD FOUNDATION SCHOLARS TOUR AROUND AGT

Megaworld Foundation was created in 1997 following Dr. Andrew Tan’s firm belief that education is the pivotal key to alleviating poverty in the Philippines. This philosophy continues to guide the Foundation as it creates programs and activities that provide scholarship grants to deserving Filipino students. The Foundation—which initially started with just a handful of students—has grown to support over 350 students annually.

But more than the scholarship grant, Megaworld Foundation also nurtures these younger generation by providing them with workshops, seminars, and other activities that build character and confidence, equipping them with the proper tools that will lead them to success long after they have finished their degrees.

One of which is the scholars’ meet-up and tour wherein the Foundation invited the 68 graduating scholars and had the opportunity to visit the award-winning office of Megaworld Corporation.

During the visit, the scholars were inspired and impressed as they toured around various departments, shared stories with some of the alumni scholars who are now part of the Megaworld community and personally met Dr. Andrew Tan and Mr. Francisco Canuto.

“You are soon be graduating. Your parents must be really happy because of all the years that is what they are waiting for. Some of you will be start working, some will pursue further studies. We welcome you here. You will work for us and that’s good.” said Dr. Tan

Dr. Tan has ever been supportive to the scholars and has open a lot of great opportunities for them such as providing career opportunities to work with the Alliance Global Group, Inc.
