MANILA — A Pulse Asia survey suggests 98 percent of Filipinos support free tuition in public universities, said Sen. Sherwin Gatchalian, who commissioned the survey.Majority of the respondents cited the increase in the number of graduates as the top reason that they support the program.
“Marami na sa ating mga kababayan ang nakinabang sa libreng kolehiyo, at mahalagang tiyakin nating patuloy nating mabibigyan ng dekalidad at abot-kayang edukasyon ang ating mga kabataan,” said Gatchalian.
