A portion of the P160 million in taxes collected from flood control projects in Manila will be given to public school teachers in the city, Mayor Isko Moreno announced yesterday.
Moreno said public school teachers and non-teaching personnel would start receiving today their long-delayed allowances.
A payout of P25 million will be allotted to around 11,000 teachers and non-teaching staff under the Schools Division Office of Manila. Another P58 million will be paid to the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila.
Moreno said the taxes collected from contractors of flood control projects in the city would help ‘cover the city’s arrears to educators since April.’
