FOUR PROGRAMS of the Faculty of Arts and Letters (Artlets) have been granted the coveted Level 4 accreditation status, the highest rank that can be obtained by an educational institution from the Philippine Association of Colleges and Universities Commission on Accreditation (PACUCOA).

“The country’s current tax system is terribly outdated and inequitable.

Angara chairs the Senate Ways and Means Committee, which is the tax-writing committee of the upper house.
