The bill would create a national program that gives a college‑funding grant to one child in each Filipino family, covering living costs, books, internships and exam help, with priority for the poorest, Indigenous peoples, remote areas, solo‑parent or disabled children. The Commission on Higher Education would run the program, using data from DSWD, and the cost would be taken from the regular national budget. The law would take effect 15 days after publication, and implementing rules must be issued within 90 days.
