UP system reeling from budget cuts
The Philippine Star
|October 03, 2025
The University of the Philippines-Mindanao and its student council are pushing for higher funding for the UP system as they expressed alarm over budgetary cuts in the education sector, particularly in UP-Mindanao.
In a joint statement, UP-Mindanao and the student council noted that for the 2026 National Expenditure Program (NEP), only P25.82 billion was approved for the UP system.
The figure was way below the P46.85 billion proposed by the UP Board of Regents, they said.
“This P21 billion deficit serves as a major threat to the development of the university and compromises basic student services as well as the welfare of constituents across UP campuses,” UP-Mindanao and the student council said.
