Congress urged to prioritize bills that may increase educators’ salaries, education budget.

Teachers and education workers held a protest of action in front of the House of Representatives in Quezon City on Monday, July 18, urging Congress to “prioritize” the legislation of House Bill 203 and House Bill 1783 to increase teachers’ salaries as well as the national budget for education.

“Nagtaasan na ang lahat ng bilihin at tataas pa muli ang mga ito sa susunod na araw, pero hindi pa rin tumataas ang sahod ng mga guro. Nasa 6.1 percent na ang inflation, mahigit P30 kada litro ang itinaas ng diesel, gasolina, at kerosin mula Enero at bagsak ang halaga ng piso. Ganito na kalala ang ekonomiya ng bansa, panahon na para itama ang distorsyon sa pasweldo ng pamahalaan ,” said ACT Philippines Chairperson Vladimer Quetua.
