Militant teacher’s group Alliance of Concerned Teachers (ACT) claimed that it received reports that comfort rooms (CR) in Quezon City and Manila have been converted to faculty rooms.

This is in dark contrast to the claim of Department of Education Secretary Leonor Briones the reported CR turned faculty room in Cavite is an isolated case.ACT has confirmed of also receiving photos validating that CRs in Maligaya High School, Sergio Osmeña High School, Bagong Silangan Elementary School, and Quirino High School in Quezon City, Villamor High School and Calderon Elementary School in Manila are converted into faculty rooms.

“Nowhere in any government agency will you see that employees take out from their pockets what is needed to repair government facilities. Teachers do it because they don’t have much choice and out of their vocation. This is one proof that we are not money-driven,” said Joselyn Martinez, ACT Chairperson.

“Sec. Briones’ tirade against teachers prove that DepEd does not intend to give teachers any dignity. First, they neglect us in schools by not providing us a proper office, then they oppose our just call for better pay,” lamented Martinez. With the continuous violation of their right to just compensation and shattered dignity, Martinez expressed dismay, disappointment, and frustration that Briones wouldn’t support teachers’ call for salary increase.

DepEd: Bacoor teachers chose bathroom as faculty roomThe Education Department says the teachers in a Cavite public school chose to use a bathroom as their faculty room, and are now being ordered to vacate it. Kung hindi pa nag-viral ang photo, hindi nila ililipat ang teachers? Saan po ba dapat? Classroom? Clinic? Library? Laboratory? The fact na wala silang maayos na faculty room, reflects what kind of education facilities we have. Ang dami nyong pinapagawa sa mga teacher pero hindi nyo mabigyan ng matinong faculty room. Kung saan-saan nyo tinatapon. onlyinthephilippines
