Representative France Castro of ACT Teachers Partylist called on the Department of Education and the Department of Budget and Management for the immediate release of public school teachers' salary differential for 2022.
“We demand the immediate release of the salary differential alongside our call for a substantial salary increase, especially in this time of pandemic where everyone is affected by the inflation, sky-rocketing prices of goods, massive unemployment, and the government’s disastrous pandemic response,” Castro said.
The lawmaker also pointed out that the concerned government agencies should have taken the necessary steps in order to release the said differential after the release of the 2022 budget.
“The concerned government agencies should have done the process immediately after the release of the 2022 budget because this is an anticipated salary differential and the third tranche of the salary standardization. This is not new to them since the enactment of Salary Standardization Law 5, in every tranche they have the mandate to adjust the salary,” she said.
