STATEMENT OF SENATOR WIN GATCHALIAN ON THE USE OF RESTROOMS AS FACULTY ROOMS

The 2019 General Appropriations Act provides for the budget for "basic education facilities," including faculty areas, with Maintenance and Other Operating Expenses (MOOE) pegged at ₱2,137,968,000 and Capital Outlay amounting to ₱28,835,048,000, for a total of ₱30,973,016,000. So, as far as I am aware, restrooms being converted into faculty rooms are the exception, not the norm.

Nevertheless, we welcome the feedback of our teachers. They and other school personnel can rest assured that beginning in the 18th Congress, we will definitely look into how we can earmark more funds dedicated to improving the working conditions of our educators. Dapat parating mga estudyante at guro ang makinabang sa pagpapaayos ng mga pasilidad ng ating mga paaralan. Quality education means quality educational facilities for both students and teachers.
