The Department of Education (DepEd) will work with the Commission on Elections (Comelec) to seek a larger budget from Congress for the honoraria and allowances paid to public school teachers who will work in the polls next year.

“However, we remain committed to assisting the Comelec in obtaining a greater budget from Congress in order to provide more benefits to our DepEd workers,” the Department of Education stated in a statement.

The agency stated that it would stand with the commission in its efforts to justify the advantages. These are the following:

-A special risk payment of up to 25% of the monthly basic salary/pay -A food and water allowance of PHP1,000 per day -Health insurance coverage for persons infected with Covid-19, as well as the provision of vitamins and other immune-boosting nutrients
-Funds for the clean-up and repair/maintenance of every public school used as a voting center if Covid-19 persists during the period of the 2022 national elections -Funds for the provision of swab testing and other health services if Covid-19 persists during the period of 2022 national elections -Funds for the provision of swab testing and other health services if Covid-19 persists during the period of the 2022 national elections
-Honoraria for members of the DepEd Election Task Force’s Monitoring and Coordination Teams in 2022.
The DepEd stated, “We will continue to coordinate with Comelec these substantial requests for our instructors and poll workers, who are dedicated to championing clean, safe, and fair elections next year.”

The Department of Education also expressed gratitude to the poll authority for adjusting honoraria and allowances for public school teachers and poll workers.

The Comelec increased the honoraria and other allowances of poll workers who will work in the May elections by at least PHP2,000 last month.

Teachers who provide election-related services are entitled to the following honoraria, according to Comelec Resolution No. 10727: chairperson of the electoral board, PHP7,000; electoral board members, PHP6,000; DepEd supervisor official, PHP5,000; and support personnel, PHP3,000.

The chairperson and members of the electoral board, as well as DESO and their personnel, are entitled to a PHP2,000 travel allowance, with PHP1,000 set aside for the final testing and sealing of the vote-counting system and another PHP1,000 set aside for election day.

DESO and DESO technical support workers will be paid a PHP1,500 communication allowance, while members of the EB, DESO, and their team will be paid a PHP500 anti-Covid-19 allowance.

The honoraria and allowances will be paid within 15 days following the election, according to the resolution.
