Senator Sonny Angara on Friday, July 9 said he is planning to expand the scope of the measure that seeks to provide assistance to deserving Filipino students who wish to pursue higher education abroad.
Angara said he is looking at expanding the coverage of Senate Bill No. 961 or the proposed Pensionado Act, which he filed in 2019 to cover high school graduates.
The senator noted there are many Filipino students who are highly intelligent and skilled and who have the potential to pursue higher education in prestigious universities overseas.
But because of the high financial cost that studying overseas entails, many students are forced to shelve their plans and lose the opportunity.

Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, July 7) Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello III believes there’s a need to review the necessity of holding professional licensure examinations.
In a media briefing on Wednesday, Bello proposed that the country do away with board and bar exams, saying the several years of education and the accompanying tests students go through before graduating are enough to prepare them for work.
Bello said he also floated the idea during a meeting with the Philippine Nurses Association and the Board of Nursing. He added he is considering recommending the measure to Congress.
