The P8 billion budget may only covered the tuition fee, but not the other miscellaneous expenses like laboratory fees, according to CHED.

The additional budget for CHED was part of the P3.35 Trillion proposed budget for 2017.

It only needed the approval of President Rodrigo Duterte and he’s expected to sign it after his trip abroad.
