To every Filipino parent and student's delight, President Rodrigo Duterte signed on August 3, a new law providing free education for millions of students in public tertiary and vocational schools accross the country! As a parent of 4 kids myself, this is good news indeed! Many thanks to President Duterte!

Senior Deputy Executive Secretary Menardo Guevarra made the announcement in an August 4 forum.

The free tuition law signed by President Rodrigo Duterte last Thursday covers a total of 112 state universities and colleges in the Philippines.
Republic Act 10931 or "Universal Access to Quality Tertiary Education Act," which Congress ratified in May and was transmitted to the Office of the President on July 5, provides full tuition subsidy for students in State Universities and Colleges (SUCs), local universities and colleges, and state-run technical-vocational schools.

According to the Department of Budget and Management's list, however, there are eight SUCs in Metro Manila, 49 in the rest of Luzon, 26 in Visayas, and 31 in Mindanao.

The list brings the total number of SUCs to 114, as there are three entries for Mindanao State University (MSU)—including the MSU Iligan Institute of Technology and the MSU Tawi-Tawi College of Technology and Oceanography.
