Senado, tiniyak na makikinabang ang bansa sa inaamyendahang batas sa pagpasok ng foreign institutions sa Pilipinas
Transcript
00:00 The Philippine government has promised to amend the law on foreign institutions entering the country.
00:08 This is what Joshua Garcia reported.
00:10 The Senate has promised that foreign institutions cannot be controlled
00:16 and that the educational sector of the country will be in charge in its fourth session
00:20 on the proposed amendments to the restrictive economic provisions of the Constitution
00:24 particularly on the resolution of both houses or RBH No. 6 which is related to basic and higher education.
00:30 According to Senator Sonny Angara, they will only change the wording of the said revision
00:35 to clarify the objections that are included in this.
00:38 We will change, we will amend it because we realized that it is not very clear.
00:43 The interpretation is that basic education can be passed.
00:48 That is not the intention.
00:49 It is really higher education, tertiary education, technical and vocational education.
00:53 Angara also added that it is important that the police are also well-organized
00:57 to ensure that the country will benefit from the entry of foreign universities and colleges.
01:02 Our police should also be good.
01:04 It is not enough that you will only change the law.
01:07 Not because you changed it, the foreign institutions will enter, the economy will be good.
01:14 The police should be well-organized, the colleges and universities should be well-organized,
01:21 not just anyone.
01:23 The stakeholders and resource persons invited to the proposed revision also agreed.
01:28 They said that it will help to expand the work of Filipinos abroad
01:34 and also in the industry of business in the Philippines.
01:37 When it comes to supporting international partners,
01:41 we believe like any other business, they will look for local partners.
01:46 From then, there will be technology or educational transfer
01:50 which in turn will flow down to our students and eventually businesses.
01:57 We all know that even if you are in the Philippines, you can actually work globally
02:01 because now your employer is not only Philippines but really the global market.
02:06 So that's the beauty of having foreign universities participate in local institutions.
02:14 The Commission on Higher Education clarified that it is only a constitutional amendment
02:18 and that it does not prepare the framework of higher education.
02:21 It will not be effective because of the lack of manpower of the SHED.
02:25 While we support the possibility of the constitutional amendment,
02:30 it will require also a re-examination of the framework for higher education
02:35 and what are the needed reforms.
02:37 Meanwhile, it was also given a low chance of how foreign investment and institutions
02:43 in the country will be affected when it comes to the lack of scholarships, teachers and wages.
02:48 The League of Filipino Students decided to first arrange the government's budget
02:52 to meet the needs of students and teachers.
02:56 The next session in the Senate is expected to be held
02:59 in the discussion of the amendment of the Economic Professions in the League of Laws next week.
03:04 Joshua Garcia for Pambansang TV in Bagong, Philippines.
