The ordinance sponsored by Board Member Joy R. Ortega “REQUIRING ALL PUBLIC AND PRIVATE EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS IN THE PROVINCE OF LA UNION TO ALLOW ALL OF THEIR GRADUATING STUDENTS, TO MARCH DURING THE GRADUATION CEREMONIES, ALONGSIDE THEIR BATCH MATES REGARDLESS OF UNPAID FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONSโ is now submitted for first reading. The crafting of the said ordinance is in response to the issue of Mr. John Rosaldo that circulated on social media after he and some of his batchmates were disallowed to march on stage due to unprocessed and unpaid graduation fees, which led to a traumatic experience for Mr. Rosaldo and his family.
