Prospero de Vera, chairman of the Commission on Higher Education (CHE), told the Senate Finance Committee that not all SUCs that offer medical courses are willing to open courses to accommodate students who want to study to become doctors. Three universities - Cebu Normal University, Western Mindanao State University and the University of the Southeastern Philippines - have submitted applications to open medical courses. But he said the bill's budget for expanding medical programs was only £46 billion.
