“The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) is accepting applications from students and out of school youth aspiring to gain a learning experience in government service during the summer break,” reports Anna Liza Vilas-Alavaren in Manila Bulletin.
The report noted: “MMDA chairman Francis Tolentino said 450 slots are open under the Special Program for Education of Students (SPES) which intends to provide financial assistance to less fortunate but deserving students.”
