The Bicameral Conference Committee has come to an agreement and is recommending to the Senate and the House of Representatives a unified bill. This bill aims to provide every public school teacher with a teaching allowance of up to P10,000. For the School Year 2024-2025, the allowance will be P5,000, and it will increase to P10,000 in the School Year 2025-2026 onwards. Additionally, this allowance will not be subject to income tax.
ACT Chairperson Vladimer Quetua, ACT NCR Union President Ruby Bernardo, and QCPSTA President Erlinda Alfonso are currently at the Senate to show their complete backing for its approval by both branches of the legislature and urge President Marcos Jr. to endorse it as law without vetoing the legislation.
ACT Teachers Partylist Representative France Castro is the main writer of the legislation in the lower chamber of the government. Over time, the original P300 allocation for teaching materials has grown substantially due to the ongoing collaboration between public school educators, ACT Philippines, and ACT Teachers Partylist.
