The Alliance of Concerned Teachers (ACT) has called on the Department of Education and DBM to immediately release the cash allowance amounting to P5,000 for public school teachers for the SY 2021-2022.
According to ACT National Chairperson Joselyn Martinez, teachers have spent way more than the allotted P5,000 cash allowance in order to cope up with the challenges brought by the pandemic. Expenses like the monthly internet connection and loads have been considered necessities in these trying times and that teachers have gone the extra miles just to make sure that they are able to perform their duties.
"Matagal ng naipangutang ng teachers ang cash, chalk,internet o kahit ano pang itawag nyo jan, kulang pang pambayad ang 5K na yan sa ipinangkabit namin sa internet at ipinangload namin kaya abonado pa po kami," she Martinez.
She also questioned DepEd in its prior announcement that the said allowance is set to be released not earlier than the official start of every school year or as decided by the Education Secretary in cases of emergency situations.
"Bakit kailangang ibatay sa pasukan ng klase ang pangangailangang Ng mga guro na dapat nga ay pinupunan ninyo? Muli itunuturing na naman ninyong regular ang isang iregular na school year na batbat ng gastos sa hanay naming mga guro . Absoloto ba ang DBM guidelines na Yan? Hindi ba pwedeng mag lobby Ang Deped sa DBM na dapat i relax ang mga regulasyon," she added.
