00:00 The Commission on Elections, Department of Education and Public Attorney's Office has agreed to provide protection and benefits to the teachers who have duty in the barangay and to respond to the youth elections in October.
00:11 We have first news, Tina Pangaliban Perez.
00:14 Every election, there are teachers who are threatened, threatened, hurt or killed.
00:25 That's why for the upcoming barangay SK election in October 30, the Commission on Elections, Department of Education and Public Attorney's Office has agreed to provide legal assistance to almost 826,000 teachers who will be elected as electoral board members.
00:42 We hope that the teachers who will serve in the election will be protected from harassment, intimidation and other forms of threats to their lives.
00:50 I have never witnessed an election where there's no story of a teacher who is being hurt, attacked or threatened.
00:58 They are being given death threats, rape threats and other threats to their lives and their families so that they will not enter.
01:09 The Commission on Elections also called for the early release of teachers' salaries from P9,000 to P10,000 and P2,000 for those who have duty in places with early voting.
01:22 The Commission on Elections is also preparing for the possibility of teachers who will not be able to serve on the day of the election.
01:28 The Philippine National Police is also with the people who are currently training to become electoral board members.
01:36 Another request of the DepEd Secret Service is to make it free to use electricity and water in our schools and to repair damaged equipment when the election is over.
01:53 This is because it is being charged to the MOOE of a school that is not a part of our mandate to teach.
02:03 We are always provided with money for the teachers' salaries, to buy ballot boxes and to print ballots.
02:10 But of course, we don't know that there are people who are being charged for that.
02:14 The solution to that is the amendment to the revision of the Omnibus Election Code.
02:18 For the first time, the entire Negros Oriental was under the control of the Comelec.
02:25 The Comelec confirmed that the SK Elections in Barangay was held there on October 30.
02:30 This is the first news. Tina Panganiban Perez for GMA Integrated News.
