SULU – Muslim scholars have praised Sulu Vice Governor Sakur Tan for his support to their education as well as dozens of other more who are benefiting from the philanthropic and magnanimous free educational program of the influential and respected leader.
Tan, through his Minsu Oil Scholarship Program, has given fresh opportunities to mostly poor and deserving students to finish their college education and become productive members of society.
Since 2009, at least 8 of Tan’s scholars graduated with honors – two of them cum laude and one magna cum laude – and the others passed government licensure examinations on nursing, education and accountancy.
Some of those are now professional degree holders and among them are Abdelimar Baybayan, Fauzia Joe, Michael Rubio, Alonan Banagudos, Hartina Mansul, Sherienata Tam, Marlina Hadja, and Wida Hajihil. Tan is also supporting many scholars in Zamboanga City.
Tan is actively involved in many philanthropic and peace and development programs in Sulu and also in other parts of Mindanao where there are large Muslim communities in an effort to improve the welfare of the Muslims.
He is also running as regional governor in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao in next year’s polls and being supported by fellow governors and members of the civil society, religious and business groups, among others in the South. (Mindanao Examiner)
