DAVAO CITY, Philippines — At least 100,000 Filipino English teachers are needed in China, President Duterte said yesterday before his departure for China where the two countries are expected to sign a related agreement on the sidelines of a global economic forum. Romana said the two countries are expected to sign an agreement on the sending of more Filipino English teachers to Beijing. “There are some minor details still being ironed out, but if everything works, the agreement (is) to hire more Filipino English teachers for China,” Sta. Romana explained that there are Filipino teachers here but they found the jobs on their own. Romana said the improved ties between the Philippines and China also played a role in the readiness of Beijing to hire more Filipino teachers.
