SEN. Paolo Benigno “Bam” Aquino on Friday thanked President Duterte and Sen. Panfilo Lacson for acknowledging his role in the passage of the free tuition law.
This came after the President mentioned in his speech in Koronadal City on Tuesday that the senator helped in the crafting of the landmark legislation.
The reelectionist senator sponsored the passage of the Free College Law when he was still chairman of the Senate Committee on Education.
“I’m thankful that the President acknowledge my effort to legislate free college,” he said.
“If it is for the people, especially the poor, I’m willing to cooperate [with the Duterte administration], just like this free college law,” added Aquino, who belongs to the Senate minority bloc.
