“Very disappointing, parang gyera itong tinatahak ng teachers natin, parang mga sundalong walang proteksyon, di nila alam kung kaya silang pagamutin,” the senator said.

“Sa distance learning, malaking bahagi ang pag didistribute ng modules, kaya may interaction na mangyayari. Kung matutuloy ang August 24 distribution, big issue dahil may interaction ang parents and teacher, at risk ang atin mga teachers,” Gatchalian said.The senator earlier led a hearing on Wednesday which tackled, among others, DepEd’s readiness for distance learning.

“Ang alam ko may na PPEs and alcohol. ‘Di ko nakita yung katiyakan sa testing, pangangalaga at sa hospitalization…Importante na alagaan ng DepEd ang teachers natin. May pamilya din sila, delikado din ang gagawin nila,” he added. They pointed out the existence of Republic Act No. 11480, which allows classes to start even beyond the August 24 deadline set by RA 7797.
