THE Alliance of Concerned Teachers-NCR (ACT-NCR) Union continued to demand from the Department of Education (DepEd) to heed their call for the overtime pay teachers served in school year 2020-2021 prior to the official opening of classes on Oct. 5, 2020.

'Habang ala-zombie na ang mga guro sa walang-tigil na patrabaho ng DepEd o mga manananggal na halos hatiin ang katawan sa dami ng gawain, para namang si Kamatayan ang ahensya sa pilit nitong paglilibing sa limot ng kanyang tungkulin sa wastong kompensasyon, proteksyon, at kalinga sa mga guro at kawani (Teachers are becoming zombie-like, working non-stop to fulfill their duties to DepEd, as we almost try to split our bodies with all the tasks we have to accomplish, the agency is trying to bury its responsibility to the teachers and other school personnel of proper compensation, protection, and care),' said ACT-NCR Union President Vladimer Quetua.
