Students residing in Manila can get big tuition discounts at Emilio Aguinaldo College (EAC) after the capital city signed a memorandum of agreement (MoA) with the school.
Manila Mayor Honey Lacuna on Monday said EAC has agreed to give students who are city residents a 50-percent discount on their tuition.
The beneficiaries of the discount under the MoA shall be chosen from the various barangays in Manila.
“In the past three years, there were similar partnerships (between EAC and Manila). This is just a continuation in response to the needs of the youth in Manila,” Lacuna said.
The implementation of the MoA will be handled by Councilor Fa Fugoso, who heads the Manila City Council’s education committee; and Lei Lacuna, in her capacity as president of the Liga ng mga Barangay in the city.
Lacuna said those who want to enroll at EAC may coordinate with their respective barangays to avail of the discount.
