Comelec Chairman George Garcia said while he wanted teachers to receive overtime pay, his hands were tied.
MANILA — The Commission on Elections on Thursday said it had no budget for the overtime pay of teachers who served in the recent Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan Elections .
"At dahil nga yung mga DepEd personnel kagaya ng mga guro ay hindi kasi empleyado ng Commission on Elections, hindi po namin sila pupuwedeng bigyan ng overtime pay," said Garcia. Under new guidelines, an electoral board chair will receive P10,000, while members will get P9,000. An additional P2,000 will be given to those who served in sites where there was early voting.
The withdrawal of teachers as poll workers were among the factors for the vote delays in Lanao Del Sur. This was compounded by the delay in delivery of election paraphernalia, the reason of which was still under investigation.
