MANILA, November 24, 2009—A scholar of the Knights of Columbus Philippines Foundation, Inc has recently passed the Certified Public Accountant (CPA) Board Examination.

In the result released by the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) last October, Rachelle G. Valdez has made it to the list of the new CPA.

Graduated last 2008, Valdez studied Bachelor of Science in Accountancy at the Polytechnic University in the Philippines (PUP) in Sta. Mesa, Manila.

Valdez is one of the beneficiaries of the Supreme Council Scholarship Program, which is being managed by the KC Philippines Foundation, Inc.

She is the daughter of the late Romulo Valdez, then Financial Secretary of the Our Lady of Mount Carmel Council 10680 in Sison, Pangasinan.

The Foundation receives scholarship funds from the KC Supreme Council that grants 36 collegiate scholars every school year over and above the existing scholars funded by the Foundation.

The scholarship program of the foundation is open especially to children of members of the KC Order who are at the tertiary level of education.

Aside from giving scholarship grants, the KC Philippines Foundation also extends other charitable services such as calamity aid, income generating programs, housing projects such as Gawad Kalinga, among others. (KCFAPI News)
