Senators unanimously passed a plan to raise teachers’ Teaching Supply Allowance (TSA) on Monday.

The “Kabalikat ng Pagtuturo Act” or Senate Bill No. (SBN) 1964, which was primarily written and sponsored by Senator Ramon Revilla Jr., provides that the TSA will gradually increase from its current PHP5,000 to PHP7,500 for the school year 2023–2024 and to PHP10,000 for the school year 2024–2025, both of which are tax-free.

Revilla claimed that with the Senate’s approval, teachers can carry out their responsibilities without sacrificing their welfare.

Revilla stated, “It is with great honor that we spearhead this significant legislation that will be our loudest proclamation of our commitment to our teachers – that they will never be alone in this journey.

Revilla observed that since the present grant given to public school instructors is only PHP5,000 annually, or barely PHP24 a day, they are required to pay money out of their own pockets to purchase resources for the real conduct of teaching.

“A PHP 500 medical examination budget is already included in the current pay allotment. It will only be PHP22 per day if we subtract it from the cost of purchasing teaching materials and equipment. He said that without factoring in internet usage, a ream of bond paper costs PHP120, and a box of chalk costs PHP68.

Revilla, who heads the Senate Committee on Civil Service, Government Reorganization, and Professional Regulation, urged the House of Representatives to consider the measure’s approval and cited the Senate’s repeated passage of it during the 17th and 18th Congresses as justification.

Senator Sherwin Gatchalian has introduced the Public School Database Act to stop any damage to student records.

The National Public School Database (NPSD), or Senate Bill No. 478, will create, run, and maintain a database that includes learner data including grades, personal information, a history of good morals, and improvement tracking, among other things.

According to him, NPSD is essential because the nation frequently encounters weather-related problems, and tangible records can easily be lost or damaged owing to flimsy storage, floods, and fires, among other disasters.

School administrators and instructors can rest easy knowing that critical records are kept and are simple to find by keeping student records in the NPSD.
