HOUSE Speaker Faustino “Bojie” Dy III paid tribute to Filipino teachers on World Teachers’ Day, lauding their unwavering dedication, sacrifice, and vital role in shaping the nation’s future despite the many challenges they face.

“We wholeheartedly honor our teachers as true beacons of knowledge and inspiration,” Speaker Dy said in his message. “Their contribution to molding the minds and character of our youth—and ensuring a brighter future for our country—cannot be overstated.”

Dy acknowledged the difficulties educators continue to face, including limited facilities, heavy workloads, and the evolving demands of modern education.

Yet, he said, teachers have remained steadfast in their calling.

“Despite the lack of resources and the weight of their responsibilities, our teachers have not turned away from their mission. Instead, they have strengthened their commitment and love for service,” he said. “We are deeply grateful for their tireless dedication and unending sacrifices.”

The Speaker also reaffirmed the House of Representatives’ commitment to championing measures that will uplift the welfare and professional growth of teachers.

“In Congress, we stand firm in pushing for laws and programs that improve the quality of life of our educators—from better benefits and higher salaries to more opportunities for professional development,” Dy emphasized.

“Our teachers can count on Congress to stand beside them in every struggle,” he added.
