“We finalized the terms nga naa sa compromise agreement yesterday. It’s now a matter of releasing na, the students just have to get their clearance to process their TORs,” Young said.

After yesterday’s meeting, Actief agreed to release the TORs of the scholars even before their dues are fully paid.

“This is one of the things I asked them kay magprocess pa ta and will just inform the COA that the court has already made a decision unya bayran na nato,” Young said.
