Teachers appeal to President: Treat salary increase as means to address underdevelopment 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy Merlina Hernando-MalipotTeachers groups on Friday appealed to President Duterte not to “discriminate” them and look at their salary increase as a means to address “underdevelopment” in the country. Former President Aquino prolonged that suffering by extending the SSL thru his EO 201 which gave us a meager P2,205 increase spread over a period of four years. “If President Duterte will base the salary increase on that obsolete law, just like his predecessors, he would be a party for the perpetuation of the scheme which is unjust and discriminatory,” Basas said. Meanwhile, both groups noted that the issue of teachers’ “meager pay” boils down to the government’s prioritization.
