Comelec gives positive response to the proposed higher compensations for teachers in the coming election
The Commission on Elections had a positive response to the recent request of DepEd for higher pay/compensation to the public school teachers who will perform as Board of Election Inspectors (BEIs) to the upcoming election.
“The Comelec recognizes the invaluable role played by teachers in ensuring the success of elections. Accordingly, the Comelec is willing to work with the DepEd in order to find ways to either accommodate their requests or, in the appropriate instances, to help them achieve the results they seek,” said Comelec spokesman James Jimenez.
The letter request from the DepEd includes the following:
Compensation of P9,000 - Chairperson of the BEIs
P8,000 - Each member;
P7,000 - DepEd Supervisor Official;
P5,000 - Support staff;
P500 per day COVID-19 hazard pay for the authorized poll workers;
Provision for onsite swab testing and other health services;
P1,000 allowance for food and water;
P2,000 for transportation expenses; and
Funding for the maintenance and repair of schools used as voting centers.
“We recognize that there is a need for a higher compensation for the teachers because the risk of the COVID-19 is still here. We also made sure that the requested amount or rates prescribed are just and reasonable,” said Briones in the letter.
