MANILA\u2014 A Catholic bishop said the law granting universal access to college education is a \u201cblessing\u201d, especially to poor families and overseas Filipino workers (OFWs).<\/p>\n

Balanga Bishop Ruperto Santos, head of the CBCP\u2019s migrants ministry, said many OFWs go abroad to support their children\u2019s education and other needs of their families.<\/p>\n

He said Filipino workers abroad endure separation from their families, hardships, and unfair treatments just for the betterment of their loved ones.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis free tertiary education to state colleges and universities is great help to our OFWs,\u201d said the prelate.<\/p>\n

President Rodrigo Duterte on Thursday signed a law that will provide free tuition for all students in state universities and colleges in the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe appreciate the kind gestures of our president,\u201d said Santos.<\/p>\n

He also lauded the President for increasing the validity of Philippine passports to 10 years.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is very helpful and useful for all, especially for our OFWs as they will save much time and money to renew their passports,\u201d he said.
