No. 7 should not be included as amount varies. Basis of computation is dependent on prevailing rate of tuition and miscellaneous fees. As for the books and transpo allowance, the Lucena team normally recommends to the GFF Officers the amount to be granted so there is also no need to set the ceiling on the amount as  we lose the flexibility.

        For SLSU and other state/city colleges/universities: Maximum of P15,000.00 per semester  covering the full tuition and miscellaneous

        fees, monthly stipend of P 1,200.00 boarding house of P 550.00 per month .
