MANILA — Public school teachers will have to wait until next year for their desired salary increase, a Malacanang official said on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Presidential Communications Operations Office secretary Herminio Coloma Jr. in an interview over state-run dzRB radio, explained that a raise could not happen anytime soon but assured that it could be part of next year\u2019s budget.<\/p>\n

He raised the issue reacting to last month\u2019s teacher protest wherein they condemned Malacanang for not giving in to their request.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe understand the request of these teachers and we respect their right to express their concerns,\u201d Coloma said.<\/p>\n

He said that the Department of Education has always had the desire to address that issue, but in a manner wherein certain constraints were noted.<\/p>\n

\u201cFirst, we are in the middle of the year and the budget for this year has already been approved so the raise they are asking for is not identified in the budget,\u201d the PCOO chief explained.<\/p>\n

\u201c(However), this concern may be studied to be implemented for next year\u2019s budget,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Coloma asked teachers to be more understanding and remember that the welfare of millions of students lie in their hands.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe hope that they (teachers) continue to execute their duties as teachers with diligence and honesty, which the country can take pride of,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
