Senator Manny Pacquiao said his administration will double the salary of all government teachers and would intervene to also improve the living standards of their counterpart in the private sector to restore dignity in the teaching profession. READ:

Pacquiao said that while he is thankful that President Rodrigo Duterte went out of his way to increase the salaries of those in the uniformed service, it is equally important that the government should also look after the welfare of the country’s teachers and health care workers.

Pacquiao stressed that “it is time for the new President to resolve this injustice in their working conditions.” He would also stop allocating hefty budgets for intelligence and discretionary funds and realign them for the salary increase of the teachers and health care workers. For the private sector, Pacquiao said that he would ask Congress to review the labor standards in private schools and see if the health care and educational sector can have a legislated wage increase. He would also ask the National Wages and Productivity Commission and the Regional Tripartite Wages and Productivity Boards to revamp the current minimum wage for teachers.
