Pursuant to Executive Order No. 129 (as amended), training contracts bind scholars to their country and agency.
Scholars must render service corresponding to the training or scholarship period.

Contractual Obligations and Enforcement

Introduction of Guarantor Provision

To enhance enforcement, the training contract is modified to include a guarantor.
The guarantor must be a close relative of the grantee.
The guarantor is liable to defray all expenses if the grantee fails to comply with contract terms.
