Delay in release of wage hike
Sevilla announced that there is a delay in the releasing of teachers’ wage hike due to Congress’ failure to approve the 2019 national budget.
Sevilla explained, “2019 is the last year of the tranches, nun pong increase na na-approve during the time of President Benigno Aquino and dahil last na po ito, hindi naman po kasama 'yan sa 2018 budget at pag nag-reenact tayo ng 2018 [budget], wala 'yung provision ng fourth tranche.”
The undersecretary said that they will have to wait until the General Appropriations Act of 2019 gets the nod of approval, most likely before March.
