Vice President and Education Secretary Sara Duterte on Monday said the Marcos administration is looking at a possible long term solution to address the calls of teachers for salary increase.

In an ambush interview at the Victorino Mapa High School in Manila City, Duterte said that teachers have been receiving salary increases in tranches every year since 2020, citing the Salary Standardization Law of 2019 .

“Noong pagpasok namin last year, pag-upo ko, nag-utos si Pangulong Marcos na mag-procure ng study na hindi lang yearly increase, but long term outlook kung paano ba dapat ang increases ng sweldo ng ating mga teaching and non-teaching DepEd personnel,” Duterte said. Last Thursday, when the House deliberations on the P5.768 trillion proposed national budget for 2024 began, the Alliance of Concerned Teachers , along with other government workers, staged a rally to urge lawmakers to heed their demands for salary increase.

ACT also expressed dismay over the zero allocation for salary increases for government employees in the proposed 2024 national budget.
