Kapai, Lanao del Sur - Seventy-one students received educational assistance from the Ministry of Social Services and Development (MSSD) under the Angat Bangsamoro: Tungo sa Karunungan (ABaKa) program on September 8, 2025, at the Kapai municipal hall.
Each college student received P10,000, while high school students were given P3,000 each. Elementary students, meanwhile, received P2,000. These funds are intended to help students with their academic expenses, such as tuition and school supplies.

According to Nahar Sadic, the officer-in-charge of MSSD Kapai, the program aims to provide hope to underprivileged students so they can continue their studies.

The ABaKa program is part of MSSD's Family Community Welfare Program (FCWP), which provides support to the youth to ensure that poverty does not become a barrier to their education.
