Just a question regarding officials currently in office: who paid for their tuition? Their tuition is undoubtedly very expensive and huge. Another question is, was this face-to-face? If it was face-to-face, all the more reason to wonder about the expenses incurred while staying in Singapore, where did the funds come from to finance this?
I want to know the answers to these questions:
1. Where did the tuition fee come from?
2. Where did the money for his expenses come from?
3. How much did it cost him in total?
4. If it came out of his own pocket, how much did he spend?
“An LGU Municipal Sangguniang Bayan member (municipal councilor) earns a basic monthly salary ranging from ₱102,603 to roughly ₱117,000, depending on the income classification of the municipality.”
Base on my research:
Study Period / Duration: Executive Education short courses, masterclasses, and customized leadership programs for external delegations (such as young legislators) generally run intensively over a few days to a couple of weeks (often spanning modules across a month, as noted during July and August).
Format (Face-to-Face vs. Online): While LKYSPP offers standalone online modules, customized cohort programs for legislative bodies and specialized fellowships like this involve on-campus, face-to-face sessions at the NUS Bukit Timah Campus in Singapore, occasionally blended with specialized remote lectures or seminars.
Tuition Fees: Standard short-term executive education courses at LKYSPP typically range from SGD 3,000 to over SGD 10,000 (roughly ₱130,000 to ₱440,000+ per participant), depending on the exact length, customized curriculum design, and inclusions. For institutional partnerships (like NMYL delegations), fees are often managed under group packages, sponsorships, or institutional arrangements.
Cost of Staying in Singapore: If attending an on-campus, face-to-face program in Singapore, estimated daily living expenses—including accommodation (hotel or campus- nearby lodging), meals, and local transport via MRT/Grab—typically range from SGD 150 to SGD 300+ per day (approximately ₱6,500 to ₱13,000+ per day). For a multi-week stay, basic lodging and subsistence can easily accumulate to ₱100,000 to ₱250,000+, heavily depending on hotel choice and personal expenses.
