“DepEd’s failure to submit the requirements for the release of our PBB [Performance-Based Bonus] 2021 is gross negligence of the teachers’ welfare at a time of grave economic crisis when we most need urgent relief,” said Alliance of Concerned Teachers - National Capital Region President Ruby Bernardo said.
Citing the government’s PBB Task Force’s reply to ACT NCR Union’s query, the group said that the DepEd Central Office is “yet to submit” its Report on the Ranking of Delivery Units, since the task force evaluated the agency to be eligible for PBB 2021 on January 26, 2023. Bernardo noted that teachers have been expecting the release of the PBB in the first quarter of the year. She added that “delay have forced our teachers to take out more loans” to make ends meet.
Meanwhile, Bernardo noted that teachers are getting more and more disillusioned with the current DepEd leadership.The current DepEd leadership, Bernardo said, has been “contradicting our just demand for salary upgrading, discrediting our legitimate calls for adequate classrooms and teachers, and now, could not even do its job on time.”
