                    [Summary] => President Arroyo has ordered an indefinite suspension on tuition increases and other charges for all state universities and colleges, Press Secretary Ignacio Bunye disclosed yesterday.


In a press briefing, Bunye said suspending increases in tuition, as well as freezing MRT and LRT fare hikes, is part of the government’s effort to help the public cope with the rising cost of living.


MRT and LRT officials had earlier sought a P10 fare hike for the upkeep of Metro Manila’s elevated commuter railways. But the Palace thumbed down the request.
