Private higher education institutions in Cagayan have denied reports on the supposed influx of Chinese students in the province.
In a joint statement, the concerned colleges and universities said there are only 486 foreign students at St. Paul University Philippines in Tuguegarao City.“Contrary to what is reported by various media agencies, the 4,600 reported enrolled number of students is not only grossly overstated but completely baseless,” they said.
According to CHED, it has not received complaints of violation of St. Paul University Philippines. But in case one if filed, CHED said it will forward it to the inter-agency committee for appropriate action.“On the security aspect, we leave the matter to the expertise of our security agencies to investigate and recommend appropriate actions,” CHED said.“We will support and attend congressional investigations and other inter-agency meetings concerning these allegations.
