Prestone, a leading
innovator of cutting-edge coolants, brake fluid, and motor oils, announces,
today, the nine recipients of the ANAK NG MEKANIKO Scholarship Program at the Luxent
Hotel in Quezon City.
In line with Prestone’s

year to give back to their loyal customers—the auto mechanics. The nationwide
search aimed to provide a free college education to deserving children of local
auto mechanics to help them achieve their dreams and ensure a brighter future.
“For parents, education
is the best gift they can give to their children and Prestone resonates with
this message,” said Monique Gonzales, brand manager of Prestone. “We hope that
in the future, these nine deserving scholars will become successful individuals
in their chosen endeavors.”
The nine ANAK NG
MEKANIKO Scholars were selected through their submitted essays with the theme I
am a Proud Anak ng Mekaniko. Their essays were based on their Content – 50
percent, Grammar and Syntax – 20 percent, and Style and Originality – 30
percent. Aside from the full tuition to a four-year course of their choice in
any STI Colleges campus nationwide, the scholarship grant also includes
miscellaneous fee and a stipend.
There were 44 entries

way as they embark on this new chapter of their lives,” said Gonzales.
Since the program was
initiated, Prestone held pocket events in Antipolo, Makati, Quezon City,

will be helpful in fixing their customers’ vehicles.
