PRESIDENT Rodrigo Duterte has signed into law the bill granting tuition-free education in all state universities and colleges (SUCs).

"Since many people have been waiting for the President's action for the very important enrolled bill that was passed by Congress last May entitled the Universal Access to Quality Tertiary Education Act, I am pleased to announce that last night, August 3, 2017, the President signed the enrolled bill," said Senior Deputy Executive Secretary Menardo Guevarra during the Mindanao Hour news briefing at the Conrad Hotel on Friday.
