Discounts on basic services for underprivileged students pushed in Senate

SEN. Juan Edgardo “Sonny” Angara has filed a bill which calls for discounts on basic services such as food, medicine and school supplies for underprivileged students.

Recognizing that tuition and other school fees are only part of the myriad of expenses incurred by families for their children, Angara filed Senate Bill 132 or the proposed Underprivileged Student’s Discount Act of 2019.
