Teachers panicked when the DepEd requested a list of those who use an automatic salary deduction system due to past profiling incidents targeting them, the Alliance of Concerned Teachers claimed. | GabrielLaluINQ

“That’s why when the memo came out, teachers felt troubled as they asked if what happened in 2018 would be repeated if they would still hide or worry about their security,” he added.

“What is the particular scenario? The principal called a faculty club president to tell him to list all the names here. When the teacher asked who ordered it, the principal said there was a need to submit a report to the division office; there was a deadline we needed to beat. So if that’s the case, the immediate reaction of teachers is, why would there be a list again?” he relayed.

ACT National Capital Region Union president Ruby Bernardo said they could not help feeling this way — associating the memo to red-tagging — since it happened in the past.“It is really impossible to refrain from associating this to profiling and red-tagging because this is not the first time — it is actually the third time that this happened to our teachers,” Bernardo noted.

The department also said that the request for lists was only made after employees complained about wrong salary deductions while using the APDS.
