Kabataan Party Rep. Raymond Palatino has roundly criticized the planned SUC budget cuts, saying that instead of providing opportunities for impoverished youth to acquire an education, the government has opted to pour its resources into the Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) program which merely provides doleouts and is an insult to the poor.
Mariing binatikos ni Rep. Raymond Palatino ng Kabataan Party ang gagawing pagbabawas sa badyet sa mga SUC. Ayon kay Palatino, sa halip na bigyan ng pagkakataon na makapag-aral ang mahihirap na kabataan ay nilakihan ang pondo para sa Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) na programang palimos at insulto lamang sa mahihirap.
