Tarlac Agricultural University President Dr. Silverio Ramon DC. Salunson, along with Dr. Leonell P. Lijauco, Vice President for Planning and Quality Assurance (VP-PQA); Mr. Lyde G. Ragus, Chief of the TAU Accounting Office; and Ms. Helen G. Ruzol, Officer In-Charge (OIC) of the Budget Office, presented the University’s Fiscal Year (FY) 2026 budget proposal during the budget deliberations at the Batasang Pambansa Complex, Quezon City, on 26 September.

The activity forms part of the directive requiring all State University and College (SUC) Presidents, Officers In-Charge, and key officials to participate in the national budget process. These deliberations provide a platform to brief the House Committee on Appropriations and Members of the House of Representatives on the financial outlook of their respective institutions, covering major thrusts, ongoing and upcoming programs, significant projects, fund releases, income, and key accomplishments.

In the course of the deliberations, the House Appropriations Committee announced the allocation of ₱12.3 billion for the full implementation of the Universal Access to Quality Tertiary Education Act. Of this amount, ₱7.8 billion will be sourced from the Commission on Higher Education (CHED), while the remaining allocation will be provided by Congress.

It was further revealed that an additional ₱9.3 billion has been earmarked for the Tulong Dunong Program and the Tertiary Education Subsidy, reinforcing the government’s commitment to expanding access to quality and affordable higher education.
