English: Gatchalian slammed the provision for being unfair as it punishes LUCs that have been implementing free higher education before the enactment of Republic Act No.10931. Using Section 55 of the free college education law's IRR as basis, the Commission on Audit earlier flagged the reimbursement of P250,902,652.73 to three fully subsidized LUCs: Taguig City University, Valenzuela City Polytechnic College, and Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Valenzuela.
Filipino: Kinastigo ni Gatchalian ang probisyon at sinabing hindi ito makatarungan. Aniya, pinarurusahan nito ang mga LUCs na nagpapatupad na ng libreng kolehiyo bago pa ipatupad ang Republic Act No. 10931. Gamit ang Section 55 ng IRR ng free college education law bilang basehan, pinuna ng Commission ng Audit (COA) ang reimbursement ng P250,902,652.73 sa tatlong LUCs na nagpapatupad na ng libreng kolehiyo: Taguig City University, Valenzuela City Polytechnic College, at ang Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Valenzuela.
