YOUR TAPULANGA FAMILY - A Year in Review

We have now ended another meaningful year in St. Francis of Assisi School of Silay City - full of experiences, learning and fun. We look back at what we have done and accomplished, with hearts full of love and gratitude. 

To all of you who have been a part of it, especially our donors, thank you for having been with us in thought, in word, and in deed.

Our 260 scholars have been blessed for a whole school year. We count our blessings in having donors who have committed to see through their scholars through a whole year of holistic education from SFAS.  

We are thankful in having donors who have provided free lunch meals and/or school supplies and books to our scholars, faculty and staff.  We are grateful in having donors who have donated school needs like books, laptops, etc. 

We feel honored in having donors who have shared their time with us, either attending foundation events or visiting the school.  And we are blessed in having a passionate and dedicated team of board members and staff who tirelessly serve the needs of the children.

TF Awards Scholarship Grants to Public School Elementary Graduates

Tapulanga Foundation awarded 13 high school scholarships to students from Mambag-id Elementary School, Hawaiian Philippines Company Elementary School, Adela Elementary School and Cuaycong Elementary School.  

Congratulations to these students who recently graduated from 6th grade and are proceeding to Grade 7 Junior high school in St. Francis of Assisi School of Silay City this coming June.
  • Christine Salvacion and Jhane Rose Coja of Mambag-id Elementary School

  • Jan Rey Capa, Marianne Castillo, Rica Mae Narbaiz and Andrelene Macahilo of Hawaiian Philippines Company Elementary School
  • Ayesha Mae Quirao and Kevin Lozada of Adela Elementary School

  • Elvie Mae Barrientos, Gleselle Ann Duarte, Gladly Nalagon , Aljon Pacardo and April Joy Prado from Cuaycong Elementary School


The scholarship program started two years ago with Adela Elementary School only but Tapulanga Foundation decided the year later to extend the program to other neighboring public schools.  St. Francis of Assisi School would give entrance tests in English and Math to the top 15 students of the Grade 6 class and those who pass the test (and qualify as a scholar) are offered 4-year Junior high school scholarship grants to study in St. Francis of Assisi School.  Most of the beneficiaries of the scholarship are class Valedictorians and Salutatorians of their graduating class.
