Public school teachers are set to receive their P500 medical allowance this month and P1,000 incentive on October 5, which coincides with National Teacher’s Day.
“We are processing the release of the annual medical exam for teachers at P500 per teacher,” Department of Education (DepEd) Undersecretary Anne Sevilla said.
Sevilla also said that starting October 5, teachers will also receive P1,000 each for the National Teacher’s day incentive.
The DepEd said that it continuously recognizes the significant role of teachers in educating the Filipino children through the National Teachers’ Month (NTM) starting September 5, and its culmination on October 5 in celebration of the National Teachers’ Day and World Teachers’ Day.
“The NTM is a great avenue to honor those who are in the teaching profession and to express gratitude for the positive influence of teachers on Filipino learners,” DepEd Secretary Leonor Magtolis Briones said.
