The Alliance of Concerned Teachers representative's first privilege speech on Tuesday, July 30, was a response to President Rodrigo Duterte calling on the 18th Congressthat would lead to a pay hike for government employees – including public school teachers – that"may not be so big but it will tide you over."
"The President should turn his repeated promises of salary increase into reality and include substantial salary increases in his proposed budget for the fiscal year 2020," said Castro. Castro said that if the 18th Congress will just follow the ongoing salary increase scheme of the SSL, then public school teachers would continue getting an annual average salary hike of only P551.25.
