English: To further boost the employability of SHS graduates, especially those under the technical-vocational-livelihood (TVL) track, Gatchalian is also proposing through this legislation to make national competency assessments free for the issuance of national certifications (NCs). Gatchalian succeeded in lobbying for the allocation of P275.86 million under the 2025 national budget for the free assessment and certification of SHS-TVL learners. Through the Batang Magaling Act, Gatchalian seeks to institutionalize these free assessments for SHS graduates.
