MANILA, Philippines – There are 264 colleges and universities who have not yet submitted documents required for the release of the Tertiary Education Subsidy (TES), which helps eligible students shoulder school fees. The Commission on Higher Education (CHEd) said on Tuesday that it had been receiving queries from parents and students who had not received the TES, which amounts to P60,000. ADVERTISEMENTCHEd Chairperson Prospero de Vera III clarified that the release of the stipend was delayed because schools had not submitted the students’ billings. We understand these frustrations and we recognize the situation of some of our students and their families during this COVID-19 pandemic,” De Vera added. But if the schools have not submitted the billings, then PEAC would have nothing to review.
