Sana Naman kami din dito sa SAn Pedro LAguna 6 hours teaching na rin.
Sana po matuloy ang increase ng SAlary for Teacher dahil kami ang tinuturing na bayani at nagtuturo ng mahusay pero mas malaki pa ang kinikita ng mga nangungurakot na gobyerno.
hopefully, the teachers shall enjoy the tax exemption 100 percent forever. There is a must for the salary to increase up to the maximum of 20,000 in the first grade and an interval of 2000 for the next grade and so the third until grade ten.Deped officials must act on it within this year...it will be a great help for the poor teachers to enjoy the said increase...if this would be so, quality education will surely be concretized.
