As calls for salary hike welcomed this school year’s opening of classes, Education Secretary Leonor Briones reminded teachers especially those in public schools that teaching – as a profession – was “not all about the money.”

Briones, along with other officials of the Department of Education , welcomed the first day of School Year 2019-2020 in two public schools in the National Capital Region : Signal Village National High School in Taguig City and Comembo Elementary School in Makati City.

Responding to the query on salary increase, Briones reiterated her stand on the issue: salary increase for teachers should be “carefully studied” since it would cost the government P150 billion for a P10,000-pay hike. Briones noted that the department continues to push for initiatives that will improve the welfare of teachers. While recognizing that some teachers have to struggle with their economic conditions, she reminded them not to forget the reason why they chose the teaching profession. She also urged them to “stay true to their commitment to public service” because “you are teachers.”

Briones noted that the initial estimate of P150 billion does not include the teachers’ performance bonus. She explained that the salary increase for teachers will be sourced from the taxes because it will be a permanent part of their salaries.

Ay wow. Wala ka brain Briones. Anu yun 'charity' lahat? Para sa bayan lahat? Paano kakain, mag-aaral, magdadamit pamilya at ang guro? Paano pa pag nagkasakit? Not all about the money, your a$$. Ikaw kaya maging minimum wage, segi nga. Matandang toh!

at ang pagiging public servant din po 😊 so bakit sa guro lang? pero pag pulis bibigyan ng increase? wiw tapos mga senador papatayuan ng bagong building and take note its worth billions of peso.

BUT THERE IS A TIME WHEN IT IS —- PO! GRUMBLING STOMACHS, UNPAID BILLS AND OTHERS. BELTS TIGHTENING DO HAVE A SATURATION POINT 🤨🤨🤨

Police profession is also not all about money. Cut their pay.

Yeah, coming from someone who earns really well.

SecLiling , outside the school, teachers are mothers/fathers too, they provide for thier families, Feed thier kids, send thier children to school. These are sadly monetary concerns. Very apathetic coming from a cabinet secretary earning 4M/year.

SecLiling, while teaching is one of the most noble profession, teachers should live also a noble and dignified life. And a dignified life comes from a well compensated profession, a comfortable teaching environment, and a well structured school.

Dapat sinasabi nya sa sarili nya iyan. Ang paglilingkod ay hindi dahil sa 3.3 milyon annual compensation nya lang. Itaas ang sahod ng mga guro! Puro kayo payaman at pasarap mga D30 minions!

When you receive Php390k a month. It's not all about the money indeed!

Mag resign ka na tanda!

Not all about money pero 3 milyon suweldo mo

Teachers are 2nd parents. They 'adopt' their students; they are sensitive to their needs, be it emotional or financial. Minsan abunado, minsan sinasagot na nila ang gastos sa gamit galing sa sariling bulsa para lang sa estudyante kahit mangutang sila.

And the Teaching Profession DOES NOT CARRY WITH IT THE VOW OF POVERTY!

Ay nakakahiya sa 3-4mil mong sahod/budget/allowance/o kung anu pa man yong naibubulsa mo 'day!

Cyst! Dami satsat, coming from you talaga na 10k a day ang sweldo, at 3.4 M a year ang natatanggap. It is not all about money telege? Hahahaha

It applies to all profession. We need money to pay our bills, food, our child's educ.

Same could be said about ALL professions, like being a soldier or policemen. But THEY got salary increases... Any particular reason why teachers are not? I'll give you three guesses...

Pakisabi din sa mga senators , wag puro nakaw at walang silbi.

Pls. retire na wala kang empathy sa mga guro. Manuod ka ng i-witness about sa mga guro at mag-aaral baka sakaling masampal ka at magising ka kung gaano kahirap para sa mga guro ang kakulangan ng gobyerno. It's not all about the money pero ikaw ang 2nd highest paid cabinet. 🙄

Dpat unahing taasan mga ngsasakripisyong guro n tatwawid p ng bumdok at ilog pra lng mkapagturo.

Grabe naman talaga tong matandang ito. May pamilya din ang mga teachers hindi sila mga missionaries. Kakain din ang pamilya nila. Talagang wow ang logic nang matandang ito. Wen I was in d Phils I thought d same pero pag nagugutom n pamilya mo at may sakit u think of going out.

May mga pamilya din po yan Madam... May mga pangangailangan na dapat punan. Kung yan ang batayan mo yung sahod mo ibigay mo sa iba... impokritang department head😒😒😒

Totoo nga. Yung mga nurses nga underpaid pa tapos overtime pa.

You are so out of touch! Time to pass the torch to someone who is more in touch with reality

lahat nang guro nasa kanan si madam secretary nasa kaliwa, yung iwanan mo sa ere lahat nang guro hahahaha

puro utang ang mga teachers dahil kulang and target ng mapagsamantalang mga banko. so much sacrifice and effort yet ambaba ng recognition and compensation. to see this happen to my mother, my heart is forever broken. kawawa mga teachers natin.

Grabe ok k lng sec.... laki kc sweldo nyo ...maawa k nman s mga teachers

Sec. Briones, true it is not about the money. But being a teacher is a profession thats need to be compensated. And FYI most teachers I know use their own money to buy teaching materials that are supposed to be provided by DEPED.

This Briones is old school. She lacks ideas and should retire. You’re a disgrace to PRRD’s cabinet. Let the young blood lead the DepEd.

Maybe Briones should be given the salary as a Govt teacher and stripped out of all her perks and benefits. Let us see if she will still say it is not about the money. Teachers have to even take high interest loans just to take care and provide for their families.

Taaammmaa!! 😁

di nyo problema amg budget for that increase...sa national govt npo iyan...kung c PRRD naghahanap ng paraan pra magka increase...bakit ang nega nyo po...we need money to survive

Its all about survival madam sec...we need money and this increase to survive...try nyo kaya mg classroom...

Kailangan din po nila ng increase. Your role as DepEd Secretary is to support their quest for relief from inflation. Hayaan mo na ang ibang Cabinet Secretary na magsabi ng ganyan. Ikaw ang dapat mag-push ng salary increase ng teachers.

okay! but hows their family to feed? are they going to sacrifice them when they need basic nessecities?

Tama.. daming ngang oras magpapansin sa social media, mind you ngaupload during office hours?!.. hindi ko naman nilalahat..

So parang sinasabi mong mukhang pera ang mga teacher? Ganun ba Sec. Briones? Napaka insensitive mo. Ikaw dito sa pwesto namin nang malaman mo.

Gago teachers need higher salary stupid Secretary

Madam secretary, wala ka pong malasakit sa mga teachers saka wala kayong alam sa nararanasan namin. Kayo kaya magturo na kulang ang mga libro, school facilities, and we have to do our best to teach these 21st century kids na ultimong wifi wala po ang ibang schools.

Sec briones tagal mo na position ano naba nagawa mo.. 1 room + 1 teacher = 50-60 students.. Enhanced the facilities.. hindi puro bibig at pananakot sa mga teacher sa bacoor.. it boils down in your leadership.. dontblameDteachers

Teacher is a vocation. Like my mom when she was alive. She graduated at The Philippine Normal College, Manila in her time.

Ito talaga ang napaka bobong DepEd secretary..

They have families to support too. Its not just being passionate on their career but being able to bring food on their table, send their kids to school, afford healthcare.
