Senator questions screening process for DepEd aid program
The Philippine Star
|January 21, 2026
Sen. Raffy Tulfo scrutinized the Department of Education's Expanded Government Assistance to Students and Teachers in Private Education (E-GASTPE) program, which he said is being abused by some officials.
-
During the hearing of the Senate committee on basic education on Monday, Tulfo questioned the application process for E-GASTPE and asked who are actually being accepted into the program.
He said DepEd should conduct proper vetting of applicants to ensure that assistance is granted only to truly qualified students.
Tulfo asked how DepEd can be certain that students covered by E-GASTPE genuinely come from congested public schools, given how the agency admitted lack of sufficient capacity to properly screen beneficiaries.
