ICYMI: The Commission on Higher Education overpaid three public higher educational institutions for tuition and other school fees by P130.99 million due to inadequate control mechanisms.

These were Jose Rizal Memorial State University , which received P103.894 million; University of Science and Technology of Southern Philippines , P9.292 million; and Tagaloan Community College , P17.804 million.In the case of JRMSU, the bulk of the disallowances were from additional fees included under development fees, laboratory fees and registration fees, which were deemed “ineligible” under RA 10931.

The overpayments were discovered when COA compared the amount of tuition and other school fees paid by CHEd, to certified rates. Although the UniFAST initially used a billing checker, CHEd’s billing assistants were “constrained to manually check the free higher education billings of SUCs and CHED-recognized LUCs because there were disallowances … which the billing checker failed to detect.”
