To object the P400 tax deduction from the P2,000 travel allowance of teacher-poll workers, members of the Alliance of Concerned Teachers conducted a protest action in front of Palacio del Gobernador in Intramuros, Manila where the Commission on Elections main office is situated, Thursday, March 10.
“Based on reports from its regional unions, their paltry P2,000 travel allowance was subjected to 20 percent tax or a total of Php400 deduction, instead of the previously implemented and already contested five percent tax,” ACT said in a statement. “This government is squeezing us dry. First, they refused to remunerate teacher-poll workers fair pay for their indispensable role every election. Now, they’re increasing tax impositions on what little compensation we are getting. And for what?! It’s not like these taxes go to social services like health and education,” he said.
