"The dwindling number of students receiving full subsidy from the program, and the skyrocketing increases in base tuition only exposes STFAP for what it is. STFAP is nothing but a cover-up, a smokescreen for tuition increase which, in turn, allows government to justify reducing its funding for state universities like UP. The defenders of STFAP within the University argue for this increasingly grim condition by positing that tertiary education is a private good which should be accessible and therefore beneficial only to individuals who can afford to buy it. Service to the people is thereby reduced to mere personal choice and the whims of charity rather than a social responsibility for all Iskolar ng Bayan. The reduction of UP education into a commodity to be bought has resulted in the arbitrary division of “service” and “profession,” where the latter reduces the notion of “progress” to the advancement of individual careers." https://facebook/notes/justice-for-kristel-assert-right-to-education/why-scrap-stfap/540189956018144
