继近期发布关于2026-2027学年三学期制的第009号教育部令后，菲律宾教育部承诺不会给家长增加额外费用，并强调将保护教学时间。在接受dzMM电台采访时，菲律宾教育部负责学习系统的代理副部长Carmela Oracion解释称，将四个季度调整为三个学期是对学年的重新规划，并不会增加开支。
Oracion详细说明，每个学期都设有教学与学习板块，随后是学期结束板块。课外活动将被重新安排而非取消，以优先保证课程进度。她说：“课外和联课活动固然重要……但（教学）注意力分散一直是个非常棘手的问题。”
尽管教育部做出了保证，但教师尊严联盟（Teachers’ Dignity Coalition）主席Benjo Basas仍敦促进行试点实施并开展深入研究。忧虑教师联盟（Alliance of Concerned Teachers）也对在教室和资源短缺的情况下该政策的有效性表示了关切。
此外，教育部强调了诸如“ARAL pas summer”之类的暑期补习项目，旨在帮助370万名学生缩小学习差距。
