Poa explained that the APDS was being used for recording salary deductions for public school teachers’ statutory contributions, their loan remittances and membership dues payments of members of unions and other organizations that are being collected through this facility.
This was relevant amid “regular complaints” from DepEd employees about the “inaccurate, questionable and unwarranted salary deductions” for payments of loans and membership dues, he said. Poa showed to reporters the copies of those memorandums, which also were not available on the DepEd website.He said that the DepEd’s current human resources systems nationwide “are not connected” and that the request for the names of ACT members was “in relation” to the APDS.
“The DepEd must immediately cease its unlawful profiling, be called to account and made to explain its directives, and ensure that all its actions concerning the personal information and sensitive personal information of public school teachers and all its employees are safeguarded in compliance with the 1987 Constitution and other laws,” the resolution stated.
The opposition lawmakers said Duterte, who cochairs the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict, “made no secret of her baseless view” that ACT and ACT Teachers party list were “communist fronts.”
