Why Kaloob Karunungan?

Each word in the name of the scholarship program has its significance. In one sense, kaloob means an offering, as the program will be sustained with the help of generous parishioners. It emphasizes that any contribution reflects the sacrificial offering that Christ did on the cross.

Karunungan is not merely intelligence, but wisdom. The Parish hopes that what the scholarship program will impart to the students and their respective families will go beyond knowledge, but discernment to know what is true, right and lasting. To this end, the Parish will also organize formation programs for the beneficiaries in order that the scholarship is directed toward the total development of the children.

In another sense, kaloob also means a gift. Taken together, the phrase Kaloob Karunungan thus signifies that all skills and talents are gifts from God, to be nurtured and used for something bigger than oneself. The Parish envisions that while the initial beneficiaries are few, through recognition that God is the source of all good things, the impact will be magnified.

Why 30/300 KaKa’?

33/300 KaKa’ is the fund raising drive of the Kaloob Karungan Scholarship Program of the Parish of the Holy Sacrifice.

The numbers 30/300 stand for several things. 30 is the number of scholars the parish will initially help. But 30 was chosen because the Parish of the Holy Sacrifice has reached its 30 years of foundation as a parish.

The number 300 stand for Php300,000.00 the amount needed every year to sustain this scholarship program. In reality, more than Php300,000.00 is needed to fund the scholars for an entire school year.

KaKa’ is a contraction of the first two letters of the parish scholarship program, Kaloob Karunungan. Kaka’ in Filipino also means a brother or a sister.
