The House Committee on Higher and Technical Education has recently approved a bill granting P5,000 financial assistance to fresh graduates in search of employment.
The committee approved House Bill 6542 or An Act Providing fresh graduates of Philippine tertiary education, universities, colleges and training institutions, of a one-time cash grant of P5,000, which they can utilize for job application, initial employment and settling-in, authored by Deputy Speaker and Las Piñas Rep. Camille Villar.
Representatives from various state agencies who attended the hearing expressed no objection to the measure, and suggested only minor amendments to improve the bill. A Commission on Higher Education official said there were some 345,000 graduates in both public and private higher educational institutions in the 2020-2021 school year.
The proof of graduation should clearly state the date of graduation or completion and the course completed or degree earned, and should be signed by the institution’s duly authorized representative.
