It is also in line with President Duterte's desire to raise the quality and secure the safe and comfortable life of teachers who are shaping not only students but the Filipino people.
Teachers are very close to the heart of President Duterte and House Speaker Cayetano. The President's mother was a former teacher and the House Speaker's parents, as well as his brother Mayor Lino Cayetano.
