Share TweetBy Chito ChavezBurdened by financial distress, members of the Alliance of Concerned Teachers (ACT) trooped to the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) Friday asking the agency to present a concrete plan that will fulfill President Duterte’s promise of salary increase to the teachers. Nonetheless, we expect some progress on his promise, which should start with a concrete plan from the budget department” said ACT National Chairperson Joselyn Martinez. At the height of the controversial profiling exposé in January, Duterte once again vowed to grant teachers their long-time call for salary increase. Towards the end of the protest, teachers executed a die-in protest, forming the characters ‘P30K!’ to illustrate their call for substantial salary increase for Teachers I.
