She made the proposal, after President Duterte signed into law Republic Act No. 11510 or the ALS Act which institutionalizes a parallel learning system for non-formal sources of knowledge and skills.

Tutor, a member of the House Committee on Basic Education and Culture and one the authors of the new ALS Law, asked the Department of Education (DepEd) to ensure that Grade 6 graduates who are non-readers, barely read or write, have severe deficiencies will benefit from ALS in a program parallel to regular high school.
