“Bayanihan 2.”The Alliance of Concerned Teachers Philippines on Thursday, June 10, said that that teachers “have not received” the 68,500 laptops and 100GB data allowance for three months as provided by the Bayanihan to Recover as One Act also known as “Bayanihan 2” which was enacted in December 2020.
“Those provisions were meant to help us better perform our especially challenging duties for the current school year,” ACT Secretary General Raymond Basilio. “Those were part of the state’s mandate to provide the operational needs of distance learning,” he added. Citing reports gathered nationwide, ACT said that “not one region has received the laptops and said data allowance” from the DepEd Central Office.
