To call the attention of the government, members of the Alliance of Concerned Teachers (ACT) Philippines on Monday, April 3, staged a protest at the Department of Education (DepEd) Central Office in Pasig City. ManilaBulletin
ACT staged “Kalbaryo ng mga Guro” and called on the government to implement urgent education reforms and for the DepEd to stop its “attacks” against the group and union work.
Bernardo noted that the “overworked, underpaid and undersupported status” of teachers cannot be resolved without “boldly increasing the government spending to education to resolve the grave shortages in classrooms, teachers and education support personnel, and improve our economic conditions amid the crisis.”
ACT maintained that the best solution is for the government to do its constitutional duty of allocating the largest public funds to education, instead of to debt-servicing or infrastructure programs which “only benefited foreign interests” than it did the people.
