Tinuruan kami ng Dualtech katulong ang mga partner companies kung paano magtrabaho. Na ang pagtatrabaho ay hindi parusa o pabigat, kundi pagpapahayag ng kakayahan ng tao na mapagbuti, makalikha, makatulong sa lipunan sa pamamagitan ng kanyang pagsisikap at paggamit ng kanyang mga talento o mga katangian. At sa tapat na paggawa tayo’y makararanas ng kagalakan at masusuklian din ito ng pambuhay sa sarili at sa aming mga pamilya. Kami ay tumutulong sa pagbuo ng isang matibay at malusog na lipunan at bayan. -- Kevin C.

After witnessing the graduation of its second batch of scholars, SM Foundation has given scholarship to another set of 50 scholars from Aurora, Cebu, Bohol, Bukidnon, and Davao del Norte.

During the get-together with the 3rd batch of scholars and some graduates, Ms. Carmel Linda Atayde, Executive Director of SM Foundation listened to the stories of scholars from many provinces who are mostly from Mindanao. These youth who have nearly forgotten to dream but upon learning the opportunities at Dualtech Center and the assistance given by SM Foundation were inspired to hold on to their aspirations and strive to be better individuals for their families in the provinces.

Out of 105 million Filipinos, less than 5 percent is a technical-vocational graduate. College students account for 5 percent of the population, and yet 80 percent of them drop- out of college. But 95 percent of the 2 to 3 million tech-voc students graduate and 70 percent of them land jobs while most of the college students are hard up getting jobs.
