This means that there is only one lawyer for every 2,500 individuals, way over the ideal ratio of one lawyer for every 250 persons.During the hearing, the Legal Education Board raised the issue of the budget it has been receiving from the Department of Budget and Management as presented by the Commission on Higher Education .
“For many years, we have been receiving an average of 20 million pesos, and that is really very, very insignificant for us to survive as the agency supposedly in charge of monitoring and supervising legal education,” she added. “They slash the budget, and then they don’t give you the courtesy of letting you know na number one this is the reason, two, three, four? So disrespectful ‘tong CHED,” Tulfo remarked.Trinidad also revealed that LEB sought the assistance of Speaker Martin Romualdez and Cagayan de Oro Rep. Rufus Rodriguez, who asked CHED to give the agency an additional P50 million budget.
