Teaching is a mission and a vocation. Unlike a non-teaching personnel, the work of a teacher is non-stop. This is heightened by the realities of life like being parents or bread winners. So when Christmas comes along, a Teacher's wish is to have enough time with loved ones and enough money in one's hands. It was therefore good news for teachers when the Philippine government announced with all its glory that the teachers will receive ten thousand pesos. Yet already the whispers are a brewing that it is not really the amount as promised for the said amount will be TAXED. If there is anything that should be given freely and with love, it is a bonus. It comes at a time when love is in the air and the spirit is to make the employees happy especially the teachers. This then is this teacher's wish this Christmas: that Secretary Abad with the approval of President Pinoy to announce with all clarity that every employee, every teacher, receives the whole amount PERIOD. Let this season think of the families and for once, no tax please.
Let us join in the wish and our wish will surely not go unheeded. Merry Christmas Secretary Abad and Mr. President!
