English: During the hearing on the Batang Magaling Act (Senate Bill No. 2022), Gatchalian pointed out that the government can afford to pay for the cost of certifying the uncertified TVL graduates. It was revealed during the hearing that some P358 million is needed to certify the remaining TVL graduates from SY 2020-2021 who have yet to receive certifications. Gatchalian further emphasized that this is a small amount given the DepEd budget of more than P710 billion this school year.
