demand salary hike amid price

“Amid the opposition to this measure

even more adamant in demanding for

MANILA – On World Teachers Day,
at least 2,500 public school teachers
from all over Metro Manila took the
streets to call on the government to
act on their legitimate demands.

For teachers, honoring
them means not only extravagant
celebration of teachers’ day, having
free spa or flowers from their
students but also the fulfillment of
Duterte’s promise of salary increase
for teachers.

Joselyn Martinez, national
president of Alliance of Concerned
Teachers-Philippines, said during the
program, Oct. 5 at the foot of Chino
Roces bridge, “We never ask for the
unreasonable increase (of salary). We
are only asking for what is just.”

The Makabayan bloc in the
House of the Representatives has filed
House Bill 7211 for the enactment of
P30,000 ($572) entry-level salary
of public school teachers and other
government employees; P31,000
$295) for instructors and P16,000 as
the minimum for employees in the
government service.

ACT Teachers’ Party
France Castro said, “Amid the
opposition to this measure by
Briones, Budget Secretary Benjamin
Diokno and the rest of the economic
managers, teachers are even more
adamant in demanding for their
immediate pay hike,” said Castro.

The last tranche of the
Executive Order (EO) No. 201 signed
by then President Benigno Aquino
will be given next year. The EO was
highly criticized by the government
employees for the measly increase
for entry-level employees while
employees in the higher position
like the President has increased
immensely.

Teachers are expected to
get P551 ($12) next year, the last of
the four-tranche salary hike under
former President Aquino.

High school teacher Nestor
Reyes recalled that Duterte promised
salary increase at least three times,
but to no avail. He said that to make
both ends meet, their only solution, if
not to look for part time work, is to
loan.

Reyes said the financial
literacy
being
promoted
by
Department of Education as solution
to their problem is not the answer.

Mabella Caboboy, Quezon
City Public School Teachers’
Association shared the same
sentiment. “Everything has increased
except our salaries,” she said in the
program.

Caboboy said that inflation
affected teachers whose take home
pay is insufficient to make both ends
meet. They also shell out money to
provide for the additional teaching
