The Commission on Higher Education or CHED was established by virtue of Republic Act No. 7722 otherwise known as the "Higher Education Act 1994." This was signed into law by Former president Fidel V. Ramos on May 14, 1994. Its establishment was the result of the recommendations made by the Congressional Commission on Education (EDCOM) to eradicate the problems hampering the growth of higher education.

To achieve such goal, the CHED has instituted various projects geared towards the development of Philippine higher education. Among these are the establishment of the Centers of Excellence (COEs), the State Universities and Colleges (SUCs) Computerization Program, and grants/financial assistance to students and faculty. MBFI’s linkage with CHED is similar to its partnership with DepEd. Due to its extensive powers and functions as a leading government institution, the Foundation partners with CHED to better implement its education-related programs.

The Department of Education or DepEd is the principal agency of the Philippine government that is responsible for education and manpower development.
