ACT TEACHERS Rep. Antonio Tinio on teachers’ and DepEd employees’ compensation for election service (interview with PTV 4, April 24)

[ 6 May 2013 | No Comment ]

Rep. Tinio objected to the proposal, saying that it practically enshrines in the law the widely deplored Premium Based Policy implemented by GSIS since the reign of PGM Winston Garcia. Basing the amount of benefits members should receive would mean that GSIS’s system failures or losses (such as errors in posting of remittances or updating of records) will still be borne by innocent members, a policy totally in violation of the intent and purpose of the GSIS Law and expressly stated in Section 8 of RA 8291 or the government guarantee (“Hindi kami makapapayag doon”). The GSIS is given enough powers to run after accountable officials of agency employers, should there be any unremitted amount, but in no case should the member be punished by slashing their benefits or making them pay for loans they did not apply or have long since paid.

With about 1,000 voters per BEI, longer travel, unresolved technical PCOS problems, heightened security risks, and other issues related to election service, teachers and DepEd employees deputized by the COMELEC for the 2013 polls demand:

1. honorarium higher than P4,000, which was reduced by P300 from the honorarium during 2010 elections, to compensate for the heavier workload due to precinct clustering and longer travel to their places of assignment;

2. more effective measures by the PNP and law enforcement agencies to ensure their physical security;

3. legal protection from DepEd extending even after the elections, to cover the defense of poll workers against political harassment through criminal and administrative cases; and

4. increased insurance coverage, even better, and hazard pay.

“Hindi natin matatawaran ang papel ng teachers even in automated elections, kaya dapat lang bigyan sila ng karampatang compensation.” -ACT TEACHERS Party-List Rep. Antonio Tinio
