MANILA — Senator Chiz Escudero praised the enactment of the “No Permit, No Exam Prohibition Act,” citing its potential to alleviate the challenges faced by disadvantaged students.
Escudero emphasized that RA 11984 would stand as one of the significant legacies of President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.
“The ‘No Permit, No Exam Prohibition Act’ represents one of the most impactful changes we can make. Finally, we can put an end to this longstanding practice,” remarked the senator.
“By any moral standard, the undue delay of a student’s examination is one of the harshest punishments in life. It not only results in the loss of a diploma but also extinguishes dreams,” he added.
Escudero highlighted that underprivileged yet deserving students would now have the opportunity to complete their education and strive for a brighter future.
“We express our gratitude to President Marcos for signing this bill into law, ensuring its swift implementation for the benefit of our students,” the senator concluded.
