[...] Arroyo’s moratorium on tuition increase is all for show to water down youth dissent, as it is meaningless because tuition and laboratory fees in state colleges and universities have already increased [...]

Noong orientation namin sa UPOU may nagtanong din tungkol sa TOFI refund. Pero wala naman siyang dalang dyaryo.

Ang sagot lang sa kanya ay hindi kasama ang tuition fee increase ng UP dahil naaprubahan na ito noong nakaraang taon pa.

Hahaha. Talagang akmang akma ito sa na-witness ko kanina. May nagtanong talaga sa admissions sa diliman kung tuloy ba raw ang withdrawal. Nagdala pa ng diyaryo. Ang cute nga eh.

incoming soph nga pala ako sa cmc.

Shady ways the UP Administration dishes out, too. I mean, railroading the then proposal on Tuition and Other Fees Increase (TOFI) on December 15, 2006? Oh, the UP Admin does have the habit of canceling all that is progressive, including the Office of the Student Regent’s Policy Report on the 2007 TOFI (already backed up by statistical analysis, but no). It (the UP Administration) shall eventually find a way to dismiss the call on SCUs (State Colleges and Universities) and private universities the country over for a tuition “moratorium” and refund of the TOFI.

Have to agree with you. Those shooli ads make me sick. I mean, naka-ilang rally na ba ako, hello.

As for the tuition refund, too bad it doesn’t cover the increases made last school year, so a TOFI refund is out of the question. And the motive behind this move by GMA is too shady that I’m not buying it at all.

I just heard the news over ABS-CBN’s Bandila. I wonder how will these state colleges and universities would refund the excess tuition fee paid the those who have already enrolled. As I commented on your other post about UP’s tuition fee increase, I too was affected on the tuition fee increase.

I guess we have to wait what happens next.
