P15K wage hike for teachers pushed
Senator Risa Hontiveros is advocating for a PHP15,000 across-the-board monthly wage increase for public school teachers and employees.
Hontiveros has filed Senate Bill 211, the Dagdag Sahod for Public Basic Education Teachers and Employees Act, to implement the salary hike.
The proposed PHP15,000 increase would be implemented in three tranches, starting with PHP6,000 in the first year, then PHP5,000, and finally PHP4,000.
In addition to salary increases, Hontiveros is also pushing for medical discounts and the protection of pension contributions for teachers through Senate Bill 575, the Healthy Buhay at Hanapbuhay Para sa Guro Act.
Hontiveros emphasized that the proposed legislation is a way to express gratitude for the dedication and hard work teachers invest in educating the youth.
