into classrooms or holding classes in multipurpose
halls.

In Bagong Silangan Elementary School
at Quezon City, there are two sections in one
classroom with 45 students each or 90 students in
one classroom. Outside of the capital, Tinio said,
class size is much higher such as 80 to 100 students
in one section in Cabuyao, Laguna. There are schools
holding multiple shifts to accommodate all students.

Tinio said there is almost no learning
environment with this condition. “How could there
be quality education when, because of the number
of students, teachers could not even memorize the
names of each student, much less instill discipline.”
Lack of manpower

During his privilege speech at the House
of Representatives, Tinio reiterated the lack of
manpower in the public education system and how
far the Philippine is from its neighboring countries
in terms of teacher to pupil ratio.

He said the DepEd requested for 81,100
teaching items or teaching positions. But, he said,
only 75,242 teaching positions were approved in the
2018 national budget, still short of 5, 858.

With this, teachers for special education are
still short by 1,944, more than 3,000 for elementary
and 900 for junior high school, Tinio said.

According to the United Nations Human
Development Report, the Philippines has 1:31
primary school teacher-pupil ratio. This is a far cry
from the ideal, Tinio said, as neighboring countries
like Malaysia have 1:11 teacher-pupil ratio; 1:15 in
Thailand, 1:17 in Indonesia, 1:19 in Vietnam, and
Myanmar with 1:28 teacher-pupil ratio.

That is why, he said, even if the government
has filled up the gap in the shortage of teachers, this
is still not at par with the ideal teacher to student
ratio. “In fact, the DepEd should double the number
of teachers to hire to be at par with our neighboring
countries,” he said.

Tinio also mentioned the lack of non-
teaching personnel and support staff. For 2017, he
said, DepEd data showed that there were only 38,284
non-teaching personnel and support staff to 687,229
public school teachers. This means that nationwide,
there is only one non-teaching staff that supports 18
teachers a day, said Tinio.

With this, teachers also have to do clerical
work such as registering students to the Learner
Information System in the DepEd website, a task
which should be done by a registrar, Tinio said.
Many schools also lack clinic personnel, custodians,
and canteen managers.

Teachers and parents putting up with
education system’s ‘cyclical problem’

The same problems have greeted the
students every year, and for teachers under ACT
Philippines, these problems are not being addressed
by the government.
Valbuena said their protests “Are an expression of
the teachers’ frustrations with the cyclical problems
of the education system that are constantly put upon
the teachers’ and parents’ shoulders to bear.”

Public school teachers in several areas
also expressed their frustration by wearing salary
increase headdress, body placards and stickers,
such as in Region 3, Cordillera Administrative
Region, Bacolod City, Cebu City, Cagayan de Oro
City, Cotabato City, General Santos City, Tacurong
City, South Cotabato, Butuan City, Davao City and
Zamboanga del Sur including the Metro Manila.

“We wore our protest gears during the
flag ceremony and while teaching to deliver to the
Duterte administration our demands to prioritize
the allocation of sufficient budget to fill up the
deficiencies in education, raise the salaries to
P30,000 ($571) for Teacher 1 and create enough
items for education support personnel,” Valbuena
explained.

He said students will also learn, through
their protest, to stand up for their rights. “The
Filipino youth are observant and intelligent, it is
better to discuss in the classroom the harsh realities
of living in poverty that they themselves experience
than to pretend it is not happening. When education
becomes significant to their everyday lives that is
when learning begins,” he said.

He said their protest is the start of their
intensified struggle of making President Duterte
accountable to his promise of change.

“We have been promised of salary increase
three times in a span of two years but nothing came
out of those sweet words. We cannot help but feel
shortchanged. The president is leaving us not much
choice but to intensify our protest,” Valbuena said.
Gov’t taking steps to cushion
public from high price impact
Susan G. De Leon
MANILA —The country’s economic team on
Tuesday assured the public that the government is
closely monitoring and taking steps to address the
difficulties experienced by Filipino families today
arising from higher prices.

In a joint statement read by Budget Secretary
Benjamin Diokno, the economic managers reiterate
the government’s unwavering commitment to
improve the lives of the Filipino people and bring
lasting change to the country.

Diokno said the Department of Trade and
Industry is monitoring prices of prime commodities
to ensure that retailers are complying with the
agreed suggested retail prices.

Large tranches of imported rice will also
arrive in the country to augment the current supply
of the staple.

According to the budget secretary, the
government continues to address the effects of
higher prices on the poorest families by continuing
disbursement of Unconditional Cash Transfers
given on top of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino
Program cash grants.

The economic team though, does not agree
in suspending the implementation of the Tax Reform
for Acceleration and Inclusion Law or TRAIN Law
blamed for the continuing spike in commodity
prices.

“Suspending TRAIN and adopting other
band-aid solutions will only have a minimal and
short-term impact on inflation and will stifle our
growth, further delaying our nation’s progress
toward becoming an upper-middle-income country
by 2019, such that around six million Filipinos
would be lifted out of poverty by 2022,” the joint
statement said.

“We must keep in mind that TRAIN
reformed a previously unfair and harsh tax regime.
It lowered the personal income taxes of most
Filipinos except the very rich—increasing the take
home pay of 99 percent of income tax payers,” the
economic team said.

“This, coupled with free higher education
and new jobs created through our infrastructure
build up, enables the Filipino people to spend
more for themselves and for the benefit of their
families.”
The economic team said TRAIN is vital to the
“Build, Build, Build” infrastructure program.

“We must bridge the infrastructure gap
that has painfully made our country lag behind our
ASEAN neighbors. Through this program, we seek
to create more than one million jobs for our fellow
Filipinos through 2022, while reducing logistics
costs for businesses, especially micro, small, and
medium enterprises (MSMEs), many of which are
located in the provinces.”

“The administration is steadfast in the
conviction that we can build a prosperous, high-
income economy with a predominantly middle-
class society by 2040. Toward this objective, our
economic program must generate the required
resources so that we can continue to make
investments in our people’s health and education,
security and public order, and to build world-class
infrastructure” the joint statement read.

The budget secretary assured that the effects
of TRAIN are only transitory and the situation in
the market is expected to return to normal by next
year. (PIA-NCR)
