President Duterte has pledged to grant an increase in the salary of public school teachers but admitted he could not afford to double their pay.
The President assured that the planned salary increase for the teachers would be incremental once the domestic economy further improves.
“Ang inyo, kayo ang isunod ko [I will raise your (salary) next],” the President said during the 37th Principals Training and Development Program and National Board Conference in Davao City, drawing applause from the crowd.
