The government has always valued the role of education in nation building. In fact, the
education sector always gets the largest share in the annual appropriations of the national
government. One of the many legislations which broadens access to education is RA 6728, which
provides government assistance to students and teachers in the private education in the form of
supplements in their tuition fees. The existing law, however, has limited both the amount of
assistance to be extended to deserving college students as well as the course to be covered by the
scholarship program by only including the so-called "priority course program" to be determined by
the concerned agencies of the government.

B. R.A. 8545 – Expanded Government Assistance to Students and Teachers

in Private Education Act
This legislation seeks to address the said restrictions in R.A. 6728 by means of providing the
college students beneficiaries with a higher amount of scholarship assistance from half to full
coverage of the tuition fee. This bill likewise encourages college students to take up any technical
course or college degree of their choice other than those identified by the government under its
priority program. Realizing that the limitations set forth in the existing Government Assistance
Student Education Act are primarily due to the government's limited resources, this proposed piece
of legislation will authorize the government to accept financial support from private donors with the
hope of accumulating enough funding to fully support student grantees under this program.
Considering the urgency to provide assistance to the country's impoverished but well deserving
students, immediate approval of this bill is earnestly sought.
Republic Act No. 8545, otherwise known as "Expanded Government Assistance to Students

Policies and Guidelines for the Government Assistance to Students and

Teachers in Private Education Effective School Year 2016-2017
I. Legal Bases
Article XIV of the 1987 Constitution of the Republic of the Philippines and Republic Act No.
8545 (RA 8545) – the Expanded Government Assistance to Students and Teachers in Private
Education (GASTPE) Act – provide the legal bases for Education Service Contracting (ESC). It is the
declared policy of the State, in conformity with the mandate of the Constitution, to promote and
make quality education available to all Filipino citizens. The State also recognizes the
complementary roles of public and private schools in the education system; especially the latter are
invaluable contribution to education. The ESC, since its pilot test in 1982 to 1984, has become a
symbol of private-public school partnership in making secondary education accessible to all Filipino
citizens.
A key provision of Republic Act No. 10533 (RA 10533) – the Enhanced Basic Education Act of
2013 – is the introduction of two (2) additional year levels in secondary education. In School Year
(SY) 2016-2017, secondary education shall consist of four (4) years of junior high school and the first
of two (2) years of senior high school. Further, RA 10533 expands support for private education by
extending the coverage of GASTPE to qualified students in senior high school.
The management of GASTPE has been contracted out by the Department of Education
(DepEd) to the Private Education Assistance Committee (PEAC), which is the trustee of the Fund for
Assistance to Private Education (FAPE), a perpetual trust fund created by and between the Philippine
and United States governments under Executive Order No. 156, s. 1968 for the purpose of providing
assistance to private education in the country. Through FAPE, the government implemented its
Educational Service Contracting scheme or ESC. It is a program provided for by Republic Act
8545 (amending R.A. 6728), or the “Expanded Government Assistance to Students and Teachers in
Private Education, or GASTPE. This is a provision of subsidies for students who wish to receive a
private education but cannot afford to do so.
II. General Principles and Policies

The guidelines and procedures for the implementation of the ESC shall be governed by the
following general principles and policies:
- The ESC Program aims to democratize and improve access to quality junior high school
education through government extension of financial assistance to deserving elementary school
graduates who wish to pursue their junior high school education in private schools. By providing
support to students in private schools, the Program also contributes towards reducing class sizes in
public junior high schools to desired levels, especially for those experiencing shortage of classrooms
and teachers. Thus, the ESC is one means by which the government is able to decongest public
junior high schools. Program beneficiaries in ESC participating private junior high schools are
assured of the Government’s commitment to support their education for as long as they meet the
requirements for regular promotion to each of the succeeding school years until they graduate.
- The ESC is a concrete demonstration of public-private partnership that is apparent at all levels
of the program’s operations. DepEd, the PEAC through its National Secretariat, and the
participating private schools recognize the need to continuously monitor and evaluate the
ESC. A database on the ESC has been developed and is being maintained. The DepEd shall
allocate and obligate the annual GASTPE budget within the calendar year so that payments
can be effected to the participating schools on time.

a. Laws Protecting the Rights of Women and Children

A. R.A. 7877- Anti Sexual Harassment Act of 1995
Republic Act No. 7877, or the Anti-Sexual Harassment Act of 1995, is the governing law for
work, education or training-related sexual harassment. The Act states that “work, education or
training-related sexual harassment is committed by an employer, employee, manager, supervisor,
agent of the employer, teacher, instructor, professor, coach, trainor, or any other person who, having
authority, influence or moral ascendancy over another in a work or training or education
environment, demands, requests or otherwise requires any sexual favor from the other, regardless of
whether the demand, request or requirement for submission is accepted by the object of said act.
What is Sexual Harassment? This means that sexual harassment occurs in public spaces
which is almost everywhere. The principle of this law is that school and other institutions should be a
safe zone for everyone to obtain a harmonious working environment. To attain harmonious working
environment allows growth and development.
It must be emphasized that the demand of a sexual favor need not be explicit or stated.
Although it is true that RA 7877 calls for a ‘demand, request or requirement of a sexual favor, it is
not necessary that the demand, request, or requirement of a sexual favor be articulated in a
categorical oral or written statement. In one case, the Supreme Court considered the offender’s act
of mashing the breast of his student sufficient to constitute sexual harassment.
Specifically, in a work-related or employment environment, sexual harassment is committed
when:
(1) The sexual favor is made as a condition in the hiring or in the employment, re-employment or
continued employment of said individual, or in granting said individual favorable compensation,
terms of conditions, promotions, or privileges; or the refusal to grant the sexual favor results in
limiting, segregating or classifying the employee which in any way would discriminate, deprive
or diminish employment opportunities or otherwise adversely affect said employee;
(2) The above acts would impair the employee’s rights or privileges under existing labor laws; or
(3) The above acts would result in an intimidating, hostile, or offensive environment for the
employee.
On the other hand, in an education or training environment, sexual harassment is
committed:
(1) Against one who is under the care, custody or supervision of the offender;
(2) Against one whose education, training, apprenticeship or tutorship is entrusted to the offender;
(3) When the sexual favor is made a condition to the giving of a passing grade, or the granting of
honors and scholarships, or the payment of a stipend, allowance or other benefits, privileges, or
consideration; or
(4) When the sexual advances result in an intimidating, hostile or offensive environment for the
student, trainee or apprentice.
In Narvasa vs. Sanchez, a senior bookkeeper filed a case for sexual harassment against the
municipal assessor. In the said case, the respondent handed notes to the victim “Gay, I like you.”, as
well as text messages saying “Ka date ko si Mary Gay… ang tamis ng halik mo.” , “Pauwi ka na ba
sexy?”, “I slept and dreamt nice things about you.”, “Have a date with me.”, among others. He would
also whisper to the victim “Oy flawless, pumanaw ka met ditan” while twice pinching her upper left
arm near the shoulder in a slow manner. Furthermore, during a field trip, the respondent tried to
kiss the victim. In such case, the Supreme Court held the respondent guilty of sexual harassment.
In Domingo vs. Rayala, a case involving a stenographer as the victim and the NLRC Chairman
as the perpetrator, the Supreme Court enunciated that sexual harassment is an imposition of
misplaced “superiority” which is enough to dampen an employee’s spirit and her capacity for
advancement. It affects her sense of judgment; it changes her life. Thus, in holding and squeezing
the victim’s shoulders, running his fingers across her neck and tickling her ear, having inappropriate
conversations with her, giving her money allegedly for school expenses with a promise of future
privileges, and making statements with unmistakable sexual overtones – all resound with deafening
clarity the unspoken request for a sexual favor.
However, in sexual harassment cases, the acts complained of must be in consonance with
human experience. In Digitel vs. Soriano, the Director for Market and Communications sued her
superiors, which were the Senior Vice-President and Senior Executive Vice- President. The woman
filed a complaint for sexual harassment 11 months after she tendered her resignation. The woman
claimed that during a company party, while they were seated in the sofa, one of the perpetrators
crept his hand under a throw pillow and “poked” her vagina several times. She justified her failure to
flee by claiming that she was hemmed in by the arm of the sofa. Furthermore, she claimed that
thereafter, when she was dancing with one of the perpetrators, the latter groped her breasts and
buttocks.
In this case, the Supreme Court did not give credence to the allegations of the woman and
dismissed the charges of sexual harassment. The Supreme Court ratiocinated that if indeed the
perpetrators performed the condemnable act, why didn’t the woman slap the perpetrators and left
the event. The Supreme Court further held that any woman in her right mind, whose vagina had
earlier been “poked” several times without her consent and against her will, would, after liberating
herself from the clutches of the person who offended her, raise hell.
RA 7877 mandates that the employer or the head of the work-related, educational or
training environment or institution must provide the procedures for the resolution, settlement or
prosecution of acts of sexual harassment. The employer must create a committee on decorum and
investigation of cases on sexual harassment. In the case of a work-related environment, the
committee shall be composed of at least one (1) representative each from the management, the
union, if any, the employees from the supervisory rank, and from the rank and file employees.
In the case of the educational or training institution, the committee shall be composed of at
least one (1) representative from the administration, the trainers, instructors, professors or coaches
and students or trainees, as the case may be.
Commission of sexual harassment is a criminal offense. A person found guilty of sexual
harassment shall be penalized by imprisonment of not less than one (1) month nor more than six (6)
months, or a fine of not less than Ten thousand pesos (P10,000) nor more than Twenty thousand
pesos (P20,000), or both. Any person who directs or induces another to commit any act of sexual
harassment, or who cooperates in the commission thereof by another without which it would not
have been committed, shall also be held liable under for sexual harassment.
Damages resulting from sexual harassment may be separately and independently instituted.
In fact, the employer or head of office, educational or training institution shall be solidarily liable for
damages arising from the acts of sexual harassment committed in the employment, education or
training environment if the employer or head of office, educational or training institution is informed
of such acts by the offended party and no immediate action is taken.
What not to do?
Do not blame yourself. Sexual harassment is not something one brings on oneself.

Do not delay. Waiting to act in cases of sexual harassment only increases the probability that the
harassing behavior will continue.
Don't wait to seek help. Being quiet about sexual harassment enables it to continue. Chances are
very good that you are not the only one who has been harassed. Speaking up may prevent others
from being harmed.

B. R.A. 9262 – Anti Violence Against Women and their Children Act of 2004
Republic Act No. RA 9262 , otherwise known as the Anti-Violence Against Women and Their
Children Law (“VAWC”), defines violence against women and children as “any act or a series of acts
against a woman who is his wife, former wife or against a woman with whom the person has or had
sexual or dating relationship, or against her child, whether legitimate or illegitimate, within or
without family abode, which result in physical, sexual, psychological harm or suffering, or economic
abuse including threats of such acts, battery, assault, coercion or arbitrary deprivation of liberty”.
Hence, it can be committed against a man’s wife, ex-wife, girlfriend, ex-girlfriend, lover, ex-
lover or the woman’s child. Violence against women takes on many forms such as physical violence,
sexual violence, psychological violence, and economic abuse.
- Physical Violence refers to acts that include bodily or physical harm.
- Sexual violence, on the other hand, refers to an act which is sexual in nature, committed
against a woman or her child. It includes, but is not limited to:
a. rape
b. sexual harassment,
c. acts of lasciviousness,
d. treating a woman or her child as a sex object
e. making demeaning and sexually suggestive remarks,
f. physically attacking the sexual parts of the victim’s body,
g. forcing her/him to watch obscene publications and indecent shows or
h. forcing the woman or her child to do indecent acts and/or make films thereof,
i. forcing the wife and mistress/lover to live in the conjugal home or sleep together in the same
room with the abuser;
j. acts causing or attempting to cause the victim to engage in any sexual activity by force,
threat of force, physical or other harm or threat of physical or other harm or coercion;
k. Prostituting the woman or child.
Remember, making demeaning remarks against women is considered as violence against women!
- Psychological violence, a novel concept in Philippine law is which refers to acts or omissions
causing or likely to cause mental or emotional suffering of the victim such as but not limited
to:
a. intimidation
b. harassment,
c. stalking,
d. damage to property,
e. public ridicule or humiliation,
f. repeated verbal abuse and
g. repeated marital infidelity.
It includes causing or allowing the victim to witness the physical, sexual or psychological
abuse of a member of the family to which the victim belongs, or to witness pornography in any form
or to witness abusive injury to pets or to unlawful or unwanted deprivation of the right to custody
and/or visitation of common children.
It must be emphasized that the usual shouting bouts resulting to cursing, humiliating and
the like done by a man to a woman is considered as violence against women! More importantly,
repeated marital infidelity or engaging in extramarital affairs is likewise punishable.
- Economic abuse. Another victory for women is the inclusion of economic abuse in the VAWC.
It refers to acts that make or attempt to make a woman financially dependent which includes,
but is not limited to the following:
a. withdrawal of financial support or
b. preventing the victim from engaging in any legitimate profession, occupation, business or
activity;
c. deprivation or threat of deprivation of financial resources and the right to the use and
enjoyment of the conjugal, community or property owned in common;
d. destroying household property;
e. controlling the victims’ own money or properties or solely controlling the conjugal money or
properties.
Under VAWC, a Petition for Protection Order may be filed. A protection order is an order
issued for the purpose of preventing further acts of violence against a woman or her child specified
and granting other necessary relief. The protection orders that may be issued are the barangay
protection order (BPO), temporary protection order (TPO) and permanent protection order (PPO).
The protection orders that may be issued shall include any, some or all of the following reliefs:
1. Prohibition of the respondent from threatening to commit or committing, personally or
through another, any of the acts mentioned in VAWC;
2. Prohibition of the respondent from harassing, annoying, telephoning, contacting or otherwise
communicating with the petitioner, directly or indirectly;
3. Removal and exclusion of the respondent from the residence of the petitioner, regardless of
ownership of the residence, either temporarily for the purpose of protecting the petitioner,
or permanently where no property rights are violated, and if respondent must remove
personal effects from the residence, the court shall direct a law enforcement agent to
accompany the respondent has gathered his things and escort respondent from the
residence;
4. Directing the respondent to stay away from petitioner and designated family or household
member at a distance specified by the court, and to stay away from the residence, school,
place of employment, or any specified place frequented by the petitioner and any
designated family or household member;
5. Directing lawful possession and use by petitioner of an automobile and other essential
personal effects, regardless of ownership, and directing the appropriate law enforcement
officer to accompany the petitioner to the residence of the parties to ensure that the
petitioner is safely restored to the possession of the automobile and other essential personal
effects, or to supervise the petitioner’s or respondent’s removal of personal belongingness;
6. Granting a temporary or permanent custody of child/children to the petitioner;
7. Directing the respondent to provide support to the woman and/or her child if entitled to
legal support. Notwithstanding other laws to the contrary, the court shall order an
appropriate percentage of the income or salary of the respondent to be withheld regularly
by the respondent’s employer for the same to be automatically remitted directly to the
woman. Failure to remit and/or withhold or any delay in the remittance of support to the
woman and/or her child without justifiable cause shall render the respondent or his
employer liable for indirect contempt of court;
8. Prohibition of the respondent from any use or possession of any firearm or deadly weapon
and order him to surrender the same to the court for appropriate disposition by the court,
including revocation of license and disqualification to apply for any license to use or possess
a firearm. If the offender is a law enforcement agent, the court shall order the offender to
surrender his firearm and shall direct the appropriate authority to investigate on the offender
and take appropriate action on matter;
9. Restitution for actual damages caused by the violence inflicted, including, but not limited to,
property damage, medical expenses, childcare expenses and loss of income;

B. R.A. 8491 – Flag and Heraldic Code of the Philippines

History of the Philippine Flag
Three women sewed the flag at 535 Morrison Hill Road in Hongkong. They were Marcela
Agoncillo, daughter Lorenza and Delfina Herbosa de Natividad, a niece of Dr. Jose Rizal.
It was first flown and waved by Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo in Kawit Cavite on June 12,
1898, during the Independence Day celebration. June 12 later was officially proclaimed as the
National Independence Day by virtue of Proclamation No. 28 of President Diosdado Macapagal.

The Concept and Main Feature of the Flag
The concept was to reflect the ideas and aspirations of the Filipino people. The equilateral
triangle, which many believed was a memento of the Katipunan standard. The 3Ks of the
Katipunan, Kataas-taasan, Kagalang-galangan, Katipunan ng Bayan, were sometimes arranged in
triangular manner, considering also that most of the insignias of the Katipunan were patterned after
Masonic emblems – triangular in shape.
In the center of the white equilateral triangle is the golden sun, with 8 rays and 3 five-
pointed stars in each corner. The 8 rays represented the first 8 provinces that courageously defied
and revolted against the Spaniards – Manila, Cavite, Bulacan, Pampanga, Tarlac, Batangas, Laguna
and Nueva Ecija. Similar revolts spread to other parts of Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao – the 3
geographical areas, represented by the 3 five-pointed stars.
Color white, symbolizes purity and peace; the blue symbolizes the high political purpose and
ideals; while courage, bravery, heroism and willingness to shed blood in defense of the Country of
the Filipino patriots are embodied in the red field.
Our Constitution declares that it is a state policy to inculcate nationalism and patriotism in
our youth. Republic Act 8491, an Act Prescribing the Code of the National Flag, Anthem, Motto,
Coat-Of-Arms and other Heraldic Items and Devices of the Philippines, or the “Flag and Heraldic
Code of the Philippines,” mandates that reverence and respect shall be accorded at all times to the
Philippine flag, the national anthem and other national symbols that embody the country's ideals
and traditions, and express the principles of sovereignty and national solidarity.
The code thus prescribes some rules on the Philippine flag, as follows:
360– The flag, if flown from a flagpole, shall have its blue field on top in time of peace and the red
field on top in time of war; if in a hanging position, the blue field shall be to the right (left of
the observer) in time of peace and the red field to the right (left of the observer) in time of
war.
– A flag worn out through wear and tear shall not be thrown away. It shall be solemnly burned
to avoid misuse or desecration. The flag shall be replaced immediately when it begins to show
signs of wear and tear.
– May 28 to June 12 of each year are declared as Flag Days, during which all offices, agencies
and instrumentalities of government, business establishments and institutions of learning,
including private homes, are enjoined to display the flag.
The following are prohibited with respect to the flag:

– To mutilate, deface, defile, trample on, cast contempt or commit on the flag or any act or
omission that casts dishonor or ridicule upon the flag over its surface (thus, it is illegal to burn
the Philippine flag during rallies).
– To dip the flag to any person or object by way of compliment or salute.
– To use the flag as drapery, festoon or tablecloth; as covering for ceilings, walls, statues or other
objects; as a pennant in the hood, side, back and top of motor vehicles; as a staff or whip; for
unveiling monuments or statues; and as trademarks or for industrial, commercial or
agricultural labels or designs.
– To display the flag under any painting or picture; horizontally face up (it shall always be
hoisted aloft and allowed to fall freely); below any platform; or in discotheques, cockpits, night
and day clubs, casinos, gambling joints and places of vice or where frivolity prevails.
– To wear the flag in whole or part as a costume or uniform.
– To add any word, figure, mark, picture, design, drawing, advertisement or imprint of any nature
to the flag.
– To print, paint or attach a representation of the flag on handkerchiefs, napkins, cushions and
other merchandise.
– To display in public any foreign flag, except in embassies and other diplomatic establishments,
and in offices of international organizations.
– To use, display or be part of any advertisement or infomercial.
– To display the flag in front of buildings or offices occupied by aliens.
On the national anthem, the code expressly prescribes that its rendition, whether played or
sung, shall be in accordance with the musical arrangement and composition of Julian Felipe. (We
understand that, according to the National Historic Commission of the Philippines, the proper
tempo is a 2/4 and 100 metronomes, and that the anthem should last 53 seconds).
When the national anthem is played at a public gathering, whether by a band or by singing
or both, or reproduced by any means, the attending public shall sing it with fervor. As a sign of
respect, all persons shall stand at attention and face the Philippine flag, if there is one displayed. If
none, they shall face the band or conductor. At the first note, all persons shall execute a salute by
placing their right palms over their left chests. Those in the military or scouting shall give the
prescribed salute.
The anthem shall not be played and sung for mere recreation, amusement or entertainment
purposes, except on some occasions. These are international competitions where the Philippines is
the host or has a representative; local competitions; during “signing off” and “signing on” of radio
broadcasting and television stations; and before the initial and last screening of films or before the
opening of theater performances.
Violators shall, upon conviction, be punished with a fine of between P5,000 and P20,000,
imprisonment of not more than one year, or both.
The period from May 28 to June 12 of each year is declared as Flag Days, during which
period all offices, agencies and instrumentalities of government, business establishments,
institutions of learning and private homes are enjoined to display the flag. On May 24, 1994,
President Fidel Ramos issued an Executive Order No. 179 to allow government offices and
residences to display the Philippine National Flag from May 24 to June 12 of every year.

stimulation and values formation offered to all five (5)- year old Filipino children to sufficiently
prepare them for Grade One. It is highlighted in the said laws that “Kindergarten education is vital to
the development of the Filipino child for it is the period when the young mind’s absorptive capacity
is at its sharpest.”
Short Description:
Section 3c of the Republic Act 10157 of 2012 states that “Kindergarten education shall be
understood in the Act to mean one (1) year of preparatory education for children at least five (5)
years old as a prerequisite for Grade 1”, which is adopted in item III 6A of DepEd Order No. 47, s.
2016 – Omnibus Policy on Kindergarten Education and item #2 of DepEd Order No. 20, s. 2018.
Kindergarten education aims to make education responsive to the needs, circumstances, and
diversity of learners, schools, and communities using developmentally-appropriate and culturally-
sensitive practices. It is anchored on the principles of developmentally appropriate practices (DAP)
which immerse the learners in meaningful experiences thru engaging play based, and child-centered
activities. The Mother Tongue of the learner shall be the primary medium of teaching and learning.
Objectives:

Kindergarten who will turn five (5) years old by the end of August on the condition that the
Philippine Early Childhood Development (ECD) Checklist must be administered to the learner
prior to the start of the opening of the school year, to ensure that the learner is capable of
meeting the expectations of the grade level. Parents may provide documentation and/or
certification of the learner's previous Early Childhood Education (ECE) experiences (i.e.,
preschool, day care, pre-Kindergarten) in addition to the results of the Philippine ECD
Checklist.
- For schools commencing their school year beyond June, the requirement that Kindergarten
learners should be five (5) years old by June 1 and the extension period ending on August 31
shall be adjusted. For schools commencing their school year in July, Kindergarten learners
should be five (5) year s old by July 1 and the extension period shall be until September 30.

C. R.A. 10931 – Universal Access to Quality Tertiary Education Act

The Universal Access to Quality Tertiary Education Act, officially designated as Republic Act
10931, is a Philippine law that institutionalizes free tuition and exemption from other fees in state
universities and colleges (SUCs), local universities and colleges (LUCs) in the Philippines. The law also
foresees subsidies for private higher education institutions. It is intended to give underprivileged
Filipino students a better chance to earn a college degree.
The law was filed first by senator Ralph Recto principally sponsored by Senator Bam Aquino
and was signed by Rodrigo Duterte, President of the Philippines, on August 3, 2017. The bill is
supported by almost all members of Congress. In September 2017, the chairman of the House
Committee on Appropriations announced that P40 billion had been gathered and that this amount
would finance all expenses foreseen by the law for 2018.
On March 26, 2018, the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) released the implementing
rules and regulations (IRR) pertaining to the Act. Before the signing of the bill by the President, the
government took the view after intense political discussions that "the long-term benefits that will be
derived from a well-developed tertiary education on the part of the citizenry will definitely outweigh
any short-term budgetary challenges" The government also stated that the "bottom 20 percent" was
to have priority concerning the allocation of subsidies for education-related expenses.
Requirements and benefits

To continuously benefit from the law, students must meet all the admission and retention
requirements. That is, they need to pass the admission and retention requirements of the
universities, which includes finishing their degree on time and enrolling in the required number of
units per year. Persons who have already obtained a bachelor's degree or comparable
undergraduate degree from any public or private higher education institution are not eligible for
free education.
The Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) foresee different benefits depending on the
type of institution in which the student enrolls:
- All (eligible) Filipino students enrolled in courses leading to a bachelor's degree in state
universities and colleges (SUCs), local universities and colleges (LUCs) and technical-vocational
schools will be exempted from paying tuition and other school fees. They are also exempted
from admission fees and fees for the use of library, laboratory and computers. For those
enrolled in technical-vocational schools, further fees are exempted, including the cost of
utilities, facilities, equipment and tools maintenance, as well as the honoraria of trainers. Other
school fees that are covered are specified under Sections 4 and 5 of RA 10931 and are further
detailed in the Implementing Rules and Regulations.
- For those enrolled in private higher education institutions, a subsidy for tuition and other
school fees is available. The law also includes provisions for student loans. According to the
IRR, students with financial capacity may opt out of the benefits prescribed by the law.
Transitional measures
Resolution No. 620 – Reimbursements of fees paid for 2018
In February 2018, the Senate unanimously passed Senate Resolution No. 620 (Adopted
Resolution No. 85) which called for the full and immediate implementation of the new law in the
second school semester of 2017–2018. The senator who had sponsored this resolution, Bam Aquino,
urged schools to adhere in full to the new law, which was all the more necessary as Filipino families
were shouldering rising prices in goods and services due to the passage of the Tax Reform for
Acceleration and Inclusion Law (TRAIN Law), and to refund whatever fees they may have continued
to collect for that semester.
Free Tuition 2017 program – Reimbursements based on an income-based ranking:
The Free Tuition 2017 program allowed SUCs received reimbursement for deserving students
already for first semester of academic year 2017–2018, based on an income-based ranking of the
students.
