A member of the House of Representatives on Thursday lamented the P8 billion unused appropriations of the Commission on Higher Education from 2019 to 2022 that reverted back to the national treasury, saying it could have been used to fund critical programs of the agency instead.During a hearing of the House Committee on Appropriations on the proposed budget for fiscal year 2025, CHED executive director Cinderella Filipina Benitez-Jaro noted that their unutilized funds went down from P4.
De Vera added, “When the PCARI program ended, we did not continue with it anymore because we saw how difficult it was to implement it. And these are projects by the University of the Philippines, by Ateneo, and the others. We had a P6 billion funding for PCARI authorized by Congress and though I must admit we had challenges in using that money.”Despite that, de Vera said that the CHED “did its best” to increase its utilization rate to as much as 97% in 2022 even amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
