Are you accepting expat international students?

I am living inside the Embo, Northside, Southside and Pitogo barangays in Taguig, what should I need to know?
As of January 5, 2024, Mayor Abby Binay extends another favor to UMak students from EMBO barangays who have recently been reclassified as non-Makati residents.
According to the mayor, the students should continue studying with the current benefits and will only begin paying the new rate for a token fee at the beginning of the Academic Year (AY 2024-2025). This gives the students, parents, and guardians ample time to prepare for the changes.
We thank Mayor Abby Binay for her relentless concern for the welfare of the students from EMBO residents.
The token fee costs PHP 1,000.00 for Makati and PHP 3,000 for Non-Makati, plus miscellaneous fees.
