MANILA – Fellows of the Global Korea Scholarship (GKS) from the Philippines have arrived safely in South Korea.
The Embassy of the Republic of Korea in the Philippines’ Facebook post on Monday did not mention the number of Filipino scholars but invited more to apply for the program despite the challenges posed by the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic.
The Embassy commended the GKS fellows for their “efforts and dedication” and emphasized the importance of education even during the health crisis.
“We also reaffirm our commitment to the importance of education and empowering youth and further solidifying future-oriented people-to-people ties through research programs and training. The Embassy once again wishes them a safe and rewarding stay in Korea,” the Embassy said.
