Gov’t teachers to receive special allowance on World Teachers’ Day
Public school teachers are expected to receive a special one time allowance amounting to PHP1,000 during the celebration of World Teacher’s Day (WTD).
Senator Loren Legarda, Chair of the Senate Committee on Finance, has introduced a special allowance for teachers in the 2019 national budget; and announced the giving of PHP1,000 per teacher as additional allowance during the event of WTD, which is observed every October 5.
“The PHP1,000 allowance per teacher is to be implemented nationwide, tax free,” Legarda said, noting that the allowance is one way of recognizing the noble contribution of teachers in the education of their pupils.
Legarda said there is an PHP800 million allocation for the provision of the allowance in the 2019 General Appropriations Act (GAA). (Source: Philippine News Agency)
