From July to December 2025, the FEU Public Policy Center (FEU PPC), in collaboration with the UP Center for Integrative and Development Studies (UP CIDS), will convene a six-part seminar series examining the economic regulation of higher education in the Philippines at the Far Eastern University campus in Makati.
The series is part of a broader research initiative supported by the UP President Edgardo J. Angara (UPPEJA) Fellowship and led by Dr. Michael M. Alba, President of FPPC. It aims to foster evidence-based dialogue on policy, funding, and regulatory issues in the sector, and contribute to the policy agenda of the Second Congressional Commission on Education (EDCOM II).
Each seminar features a research presentation, panel responses, and an open forum. This series brings higher education regulation into focus as a policy issue that affects institutions, students, and the future of the sector
