FOR Greshan Jubilan, earning a college degree is more than a personal milestone—it is the fulfillment of a promise left behind by his late father, a police officer who died in the line of duty.
Greshan was six years old when his father, Senior Police Officer 1 (SPO1) Hernando Jubilan, passed away in 2009.
Following the loss, Greshan and his siblings were raised by their aunt, while his mother, a retired teacher, worked overseas as an Overseas Filipino Worker (OFW) to provide for the family.
Managing household expenses proved challenging, particularly with multiple siblings attending school simultaneously.
Financial relief came through the National Police Commission (NAPOLCOM) Region VI Scholarship Program, which provides financial assistance to the surviving dependents of deceased or incapacitated police personnel.
The grant helped cover Greshan’s educational fees, enabling him to focus on his academic pursuits.
“I am genuinely thankful for the support NAPOLCOM has extended to me,” Greshan said.
“It has not only helped me reach where I am today but has also inspired me to keep moving forward and to one day give back. NAPOLCOM gives a quiet reassurance, like a gentle push and a reminder that I can continue, even through challenges,” Jubilan added.
The NAPOLCOM Care initiative aims to support the families of police officers by ensuring their dependents retain access to education.
For Greshan, the scholarship offers both financial security and a way to honor his father’s memory by completing his studies alongside his siblings.
Driven by the support he received, Greshan hopes to achieve his educational goals and eventually assist other students facing similar hardships.
