The House of Representatives of the De La Salle University-Dasmariñas University Student Government has officially released a statement addressing 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐜 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐔𝐒-𝐈𝐫𝐚𝐧 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐭 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐨 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞. With domestic fuel prices soaring past ₱100 per liter and national inflation projected to reach 7.5%, the Seventh Congress recognizes the immediate reality of this crisis in every household.

The statement emphasizes that students are particularly vulnerable, as rising transportation costs squeeze daily allowances and threaten access to quality education. In response, the House of Representatives calls on the national government to prioritize price controls and fuel subsidies while urging the university administration to implement academic flexibility, such as online modalities, to support the student body during this National Energy Emergency.

The University Student Government Trust is composed of the fixed contributions of every student enrolled for every semester, which are referred to as the “𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧," and “𝐠𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞,” which are other sources derived from approved income-generating functions, return on investments, excess funds, and fund reserves. At present, the USG receives three hundred pesos (Php 300.00) from every student enrolled in each semester.

The sum of the University Student Government’s student collection and government income for each semester, which shall be the basis for the budget proposals reflected in the GEP, is divided into four (4) classifications: 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐅𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬, 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐅𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬, 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐅𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐀𝐛𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐅𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭. Each fiscal commitment classification provides a purpose and fixed percentage that limits how much of the money within the Trust can only be allocated to it.
