Public school teachers made their version of a letter certifying as “urgent” the passing into law of salary increase bills. | ManilaBulletin
The Alliance of Concerned Teachers Philippines made this move after President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos, Jr. asked the Senate to urgently pass the Maharlika Investment Fund bill.
“President Marcos is not representing the aspirations and best interests of the working Filipinos in his push to enact the Maharlika Wealth Fund as various sectors have already expressed their opposition to the proposal,” said ACT National Capital Region Union President Ruby Bernardo. Bernardo noted that “amid the crippling poverty, what the people need is urgent relief and sound economic programs to boost agricultural and industrial production that generates jobs which pay living wage.”
