Administration Senator Jose “Jinggoy” Estrada has assured public school teachers that he would look into their salaries and benefits to ensure that it would be commensurate with their workload.

Estrada made the promise during a recent interview, saying it is one of his priorities as the incoming chair of the Senate Committee on Labor and Employment in the 19th Congress.

“Pagtutuunan po natin ng pansin yang pagtaas ng sweldo ng ating mga gruo sa pang publikong paaralan dahil ang pagiging isang guro ay isang marangal na trabaho, ngunit talagang noong araw pa napaka baba na ng kanilang tinatanggap na sahod ,” Estrada said. A salary increase is necessary not only to compensate for the additional workload brought about by the blended learning at the onset of the lockdown due to the COVID19 pandemic but, more importantly, to prevent teachers from leaving the country to work abroad, the lawmaker added.
