BACOLOD CITY-Reymond Tabora, 13, did not know what it was like to live in a home that had electricity. When the rains came, the nipa roof of his house leaked.

This was until the Philippine Daily Inquirer, through its Newsboy Foundation, came along and granted him a scholarship that enabled his father to save enough money to get their house connected to the Central Negros Electric Cooperative (Ceneco).

After 16 years, their small bamboo and nipa house finally had electricity after his father used part of P1,600, the allowance given for his scholarship in June, to get their home connected to Ceneco.

Reymond, a first year high school student at the Lopez Jaena National High School in Murcia town, Negros Occidental, says studying at night using a kerosene lamp was difficult.

"Now with electricity at home it is much easier to study," he says.
