A group espousing digital technology as well as free and unhampered wifi connection called for the revisiting of Republic Act 11314 or the Student Fare
Discount Act, saying it is time to include giving students a 20% discount on mobile data loads.
“This student discount on mobile data ensures that every Filipino student has equal access to online resources, digital learning platforms, and research tools—regardless of where they are,” he added. This initiative directly supports CLICK party-list’s mission of making technology and connectivity work for Filipinos, particularly the youth.
The program also aims to uplift students in remote areas, where mobile data is often the sole means of connectivity due to limited infrastructure for public WiFi.
