Around 2,400 Taguigeño scholars received their Lifeline Assistance for Neighbors In-Need (LANI) scholarship benefits as the city government commenced its four-day allowance distribution at the Taguig City University (TCU) Auditorium on Monday, January 27.
The event featured inspiring testimonies from former scholars, including Atty. Aldrin Sinues, a LANI scholar who recently passed the bar exam. Sinues, who received financial assistance throughout his undergraduate and law school journey, credited the program for its significant role in his academic success.
"Bilang graduate ng undergrad at law school, sa loob ng 16 semesters at 8 taon bilang isang L.A.N.I. scholar, ako po ay nakatanggap ng humigit-kumulang ₱400,000. Pati noong kumuha ako ng bar exam at kailangan kong magbayad ng bar fee, covered din po 'yon ng LANI Scholarship," Sinues shared.

He also emphasized how Taguig’s scholarship program stands out among similar initiatives in the country.
"Ang ganito kalaking cash assistance para sa mga mag-aaral ay unique dito sa atin sa Taguig. Malaking bahagi ang programang ito ng kulturang Taguigeño, kaya kung gaano kahirap ang nakaraan ng Taguig nang wala ang LANI Scholarship, mas mahirap isipin ang kinabukasan ng Taguig nang wala ito," he added.
Other LANI scholarship graduates also shared their success stories through video presentations, highlighting the program's impact on their lives and careers.
The city government has consistently increased its scholarship budget, rising from ₱750 million in 2022 to ₱900 million this year. As of December 2024, the Taguig Scholarship Program has supported over 123,000 scholars and produced 4,546 licensed professionals, including engineers, teachers, nurses, lawyers, and doctors.
