HB2637 - AN ACT PROVIDING ADDITIONAL SUPPORT AND COMPENSATION FOR TEACHERS AND NON-TEACHING PERSONNEL IN BASIC EDUCATION

The nation's teachers and education support personnel are the backbone of our educational system. Despite the crucial roles they play in shaping future generations, their compensation has remained insufficient relative to the demands and cost of living. Through this Act, its proposed measures seek to Provide a Ten Thousand Pesos (PhP10,000.00) monthly salary increase to teachers and non-teaching personnel and ensure that this increase becomes part of their regular salary and retirement benefits. Also, it will provide health and wellness benefits as well as allowing Local Government Units to extend additional allowances through the Special Education Fund without compromising infrastructure requirements, among others. As additional support for the passage of this Act, help was sought from Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" A. Aquino IV, his Senate Bill on the "An Act Providing Additional Support and Compensation for Educators in Basic Educatiorf' which also served as an inspiration for this Bill. Therefore, it hopes to streamline the two in unifying the same intent and purpose. By enacting this legislation, Congress affirms its commitment to uplifting the welfare of educators and school workers-ensuring they are duly compensated, protected, and motivated in their service to the nation. In view of the foregoing, the immediate passage of this bill is earnestly sought.
