Vice President Sara Duterte believes the Alliance of Concerned Teachers' call for the hiring of 30,000 additional teachers annually until 2028 was a diversionary tactic to distract public’s attention from the violent clashes of communist rebels with government forces in Masbate.
“ACT Teachers, while silent about the NPA operations, apparently needed to come up with something outrageous to divert the public's attention away from the damage that the NPA attacks caused to our Masbate learners,” she said in a statement. The Vice President disclosed that DepEd was already planning to continue hiring additional teaching and non-teaching personnel this year.
