Congress passed the bill on teacher's salary.

The salary of Cebu Province sponsored the bill. The bill is about the transfer of payroll of Filipino Teachers from Manila or Deped Central Office to each Regional Offices of the Department of Education.

This bill will improve the speed of salary distribution and reduce the opportunity of automatic deduction by Manila based insurance company that regularly targeted teachers.

The current set up also forced the teachers to visit Manila if their have salary problems like unknown deduction, too much deduction, nondeductible monthly loan (which will lead to higher interest due to penalty) and including unpaid salary adjustment.

However, Congressman Gullas were unable to recommend to the bill about the transfer or move the process of salary distribution through ATM. Many public servants are now receiving salary through ATM however, public teachers are still not enjoying this advantage.

Hoping that this technology be applied to all public teachers in the future.
