I want to thank all my teachers from Kindergarten to Graduate Studies for all the hardships that they've given to us.
I'm not who am I today without you guys. Thank you for believing in me. Thank you for the wisdom that you have taught us. Thank you for your guidance, and for showing your unconditional support for every milestone that we achieve.
This may be late, but I'm sorry. I'm sorry for all the headaches that you've suffered from me.
Now I understand how hard this job is. How hard to deal with so many students and still managed to smile and live life to the fullest.
I'm forever grateful for all of you.
Happy Teacher's Day!

Reasons Why Teachers (in the Philippines) Demands For Higher Salary: Non-DepEd Teachers

Many people ask why do teachers are asking for a higher salary. A lot of them think that teaching is an easy job that is meant to be paid less than those who work in the field of business, medicine, and judiciary. But, they are wrong. To teach is not as easy as peeling a banana. The future relies on the people who teach. Teachers are what we called them. They are the one who trains the mind, the heart and the skills of each individual in our society. Our future is on their hand.
Salary of the teachers here in the country is very low. Many Non-DepEd schools pay the basic salary of 6,500 a month for newly hired teachers. How far thus 6,500 pesos can go? This makes the purchasing power of them low. Many can’t afford to buy new sets of dresses and even to live in a decent house for those teachers came from another province.
Having low salary doesn’t pay the hardship and dedication of the teachers who extend their work at home.
Teachers don't have an overtime pay. So every time you see teachers staying in school late, always think that they stay for their students. Because they care for them.
I think that it is the time to increase the salary of a teacher and to give them an overtime pay not just for the public school teachers but as well as to the teachers of the private schools. Teachers are not different from others. They have bills to pay, family to feed and a health to take care of.

Teachers as Leaders
by: B.P. Familara
Teaching
as a form of leadership
Where
we not just stand in front and teach
Instead
we also guide and help them
To
attain their goals and dreams
Let’s
see teaching in another perspective
It’s
not boring,
Not
even easy
But
teaching is a kind of leading
Doctors
cure the sick
Engineers
create something from the scrap
Lawyers
and attorney help those in need
But teachers are the one how
mold them to be.
