THE ACT Teachers Partylist expressed elation over the directive to release the P7,000 clothing allowance for public school teachers and government employees.

According to DepEd Memorandum No. 28, s. 2025, the release of the increased clothing allowance will begin in April.

This marks a significant victory for teachers, who have long advocated for better benefits and support from the government.

The ACT Teachers Party-list, through its consistent efforts during annual budget deliberations, played a key role in securing this increase.

Coupled with the strong collective action and lobbying efforts of teachers, this achievement underscores the power of unity in demanding fair compensation.

“This is a step forward in recognizing the needs of our educators. But we will not stop here—we will continue fighting for higher salaries and better benefits for teachers and government employees,” the ACT Teachers Party-list emphasized.

Teachers and supporters are celebrating this hard-won victory while calling for further reforms to improve working conditions and ensure dignified compensation for educators.
