SA harap ng mga guro, personal na ginaratiyahan ni House Speaker Martin Romualdez ang ibayong pagtutok ng Kamara sa pangangalaga at pagpapabuti ng sektor ng edukasyon.
“In all of the challenges that you face, we in Congress must stress that we will not waver in our promise to give you (in the Department of Education) our continued support in your programs, not just for the laws that we pass, but for the betterment of our teachers as well,” pahayag pa ng lider ng Kamara.
“And this includes higher pay, more benefits, which should extend to more opportunities for training and progress for everyone,” dugtong ni Romualdez.
Sa talumpating binigkas sa selebrasyon ng 2024 National Teachers Month na ginanap sa Smart Araneta Coliseum sa Cubao, Quezon City, binigyang-diin ang kahalagahan sa pagtupad ng pangako.
“Nagbubulungan kami ni Secretary (Sonny) Angara kanina, kinonsulta ko ang chairman of Appropriations (Committee) ng House, at sisiguraduhin natin na magdadagdag tayo ng mga classroom buildings at mga equipment, kagaya ng laptops at computers,” ani Romualdez.
“Our promise will definitely not end up as mere lip service. The administration of President Marcos will make sure that you are equipped with all the necessary tools that will advance your chosen career, but will also ultimately redound to the benefit of our future leaders,” dagdag ng lider ng Kamara.
“We salute our teachers who have made sacrifices beyond their limits, who always go out of their way to help our students learn so that they will be fully prepared for the realities and struggles of life the moment they enter our labor force.”
Aniya, ang debosyon at dedikasyon ng mga guro, gayundin ang pagmamahal ng naturang sektor sa trabaho ay hindi matatawaran.
“You have made it your vow to nourish our children into making them productive citizens of our progressing society. As we always say, education is the foundation of everyone’s success, and for which this administration will vigorously pursue in our ‘Bagong Pilipinas’ theme. And you as teachers, being pillars of our education system, will be there as guiding light for our youth,” pagtatapos ni Romualdez.
