00:00 36 private colleges and universities in Iloilo City submitted applications to CHED Region 6 for tuition increase.
00:09 Live from Iloilo City, I'm your host, Zen Filantang Sasa, of GMA Regional TV 1, Western Visayas.
00:17 Zen, good morning.
00:18 Good morning, Mariza.
00:23 Some parents are worried because of the petition that the tuition fee will increase in 36 private colleges and universities in the city.
00:33 The son of a jeepney driver, Roger Bacolod, stopped studying in a private college last school year
00:45 to work when he learned that there are plans to increase tuition in the school year 2024 to 2025,
00:53 which he will be in charge of because it will be more difficult for his son to study.
00:57 I'm worried because I love farming.
01:02 We are free, we are not burdened by the BISB.
01:07 Bernabe Villanesa, who also has a son who is studying in a private college, is worried that many students will stop studying.
01:16 If the tuition is increased, it will be burdensome for the students if they cannot afford it.
01:28 According to the Commission on Higher Education 6, 36 private colleges and universities submitted their application
01:36 to increase tuition. They also submitted the necessary documents.
01:41 The list of schools is not yet released because the petition is still under validation.
01:48 According to CHED Regional Director Raul Alvarez Jr., their reference is at 6.9 percent for the tuition increase in the next school year.
01:57 The reference is 6.9 percent.
02:09 The 70 percent increase should go to the teachers' salary, 20 percent to the facilities,
02:15 and 10 percent depends on the school administration where they will apply.
02:20 For a university teacher, Danny Tan, it will be a big help to them if their salary increases.
02:27 Of course, I have extra finances to pay for my family, to pay for my bills, to travel.
02:43 CHED has assured that they will balance the parents' and school's salary
02:48 based on their validation of the tuition hike petition.
02:53 Thank you very much.
