Viral ngayon sa social media ang paliwanag ng isang DepEd lawyer tungkol sa isyu ng patuloy na pagsweldo ng mga guro gayong inurong na ang pagbubukas ng klase sa October 5. May ilang netizens ang nagsasabi na hindi muna dapat sumahod ang mga guro dahil wala naman sila masyadong trabaho sa mga panahong ito.
Ipinahayag ni Atty. Wade A. Latawan ang mga legal rights ng mga guro sa pagtanggap nito ng sahod kahit sa panahon ng pandemic. Narito ang post na viral ngayon lalo na sa mga kaguruan.
SA MGA NAGTATANONG KUNG MAY SUWELDO ANG MGA GURO KUNG SAKALING MADE-DELAY ANG PASUKAN, NARITO ANG PALIWANAG NG ISANG DEPED LAWYER
All public school teachers need to be assured that their salaries and benefits will NOT be withdrawn in view of the pronouncement of the President. Here are the simple reasons:
1. The salary of public school teachers is embodied in the General Appropriations Act which is passed by Congress yearly. Thus salaries cannot be unilaterally withdrawn.
2. Teachers are entitled to security of tenure which is a constitutional right and which cannot be withdrawn without violating such right.
3. The pandemic and the suspension of classes do not operate to remove salaries and benefits of teachers unless they have either been dismissed or removed. On the contrary, our teachers are at the moment considered on vacation and starting June shall be working on alternative modes of teaching. So teachers will still be working.
4. Unless Congress removes the salaries of teachers from the national budget, there should be no qualms on whether teachers shall continue receiving their salaries and benefits.
5. Finally teachers are not in control of the the suspension of classes or the COVID threat.
