that the DepEd will be looking into allowances for non-basic wage benefits that they can give to teachers amid the calls for salary increase.

Allowances are always a possibility in non-wage benefits,” he said. “But in terms of the budget, I mean, this is still an ongoing study so I don't want to preempt the results, but we are also, I think, the focus now is looking at non-financial benefits,” he added.He added that the DepEd is also looking into trainings for promotion as one of the possible non-financial benefits for teachers. According to him, teachers spend a lot of money on these trainings.
