MANILA, Philippines — A lawmaker proposed the provision of a P3,000 monthly allowance for teachers to aid in their teaching as the country shifts to online learning amid the coronavirus
During the hybrid hearing of the House committee on appropriations on DepEd’s budget proposal for 2021, Camarines Sur 3rd District Rep. Gabriel Bordado echoed the proposal of groups of teachers in his district for the provision of a monthly allowance amounting to P3,000 to ensure that teachers can deliver their lessons on the online platform.
Sevilla, however, said that a cash allowance is also provided for teachers to ensure that they can buy supplies they need in teaching. “We do not require them to liquidate it, we give it as an entitlement because that is what is provided in the law,” she added.
