Public school teachers on Friday, Dec. 9, urged the government to immediately release their benefits before Christmas and grant their call for a “substantial” pay increase.
Members of the Manila Public School Teachers Association and Alliance of Concerned Teachers – National Capital Region Union held a Christmas-themed protest in Mendiola, Manila.
They called on the Marcos administration to ensure the release of due teachers’ benefits before Christmas Day and to urgently act to upgrade their salaries as well. “With the magnitude of work that the government imposed on teachers in relation to the ill-prepared resumption of face-to-face classes, we only deserve to be given additional bonus and have a merry Christmas,” Zabala said. “Release our due benefits immediately!” he added.
Bernardo added that teachers “deserve decent salaries.” Thus, ACT has been urging the government to upgrade the salary level of Teacher I from salary grade 11 to salary grade 15.
