WATCH: Marcos vetoes law declaring PUP National Polytechnic University

On July 11, 2025, Malacañang announced that President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. vetoed legislation intended to designate the Polytechnic University of the Philippines (PUP) as a National Polytechnic University.

Palace Press Officer Claire Castro stated during a press conference that the veto resulted from PUP's failure to fulfill specific operational requirements mandated by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED), particularly concerning the management of its regular and extension campuses.
