English: In a previous hearing, Gatchalian observed a similar trend in the implementation of the Educational Service Contracting (ESC) program, which is a component of GASTPE. For School Year 2020-2021, 68% of ESC recipients were from non-poor households. This caused a leakage of up to P8.6 billion based on estimates from the senator's office.
