Duterte to keep promise on teachers’ pay increase - Roque
President Rodrigo Duterte keeps his promises.
That was the assurance of Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque in a bid to allay fears of public school teachers on the pronouncement of Budget Secretary Benjamin Diokno that doubling the salary of teachers was “not a priority” of this administration at this time.
During the 21st Cabinet meeting on Monday, Duterte ordered his Cabinet to find ways to increase the salary of public school teachers.
“Well, it’s very clear. He asked his Cabinet members to find ways to increase the salary of teachers,” Roque said in a Palace briefing on Thursday.
