On the heels of impeachment filing against Vice President Sara Duterte and the quad-comm House hearings on the war on drugs and POGO, an ethics complaint was filed against a House member who played a key role in the hearings, ACT Teachers Representative France Castro.
House Deputy Minority Leader and ACT Teachers Party-list Representative France Castro is dismayed over the Quezon City Prosecutor’s dismissal of her complaint against former President Rodrigo Duterte.
The Dutertes have constantly red-tagged the Makabayan bloc without basis, deflecting the criticisms against them.
Several days after the memorandum of the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) tagging Alliance of Concerned Teachers (ACT) and COURAGE as communist fronts was exposed, the military and police arrested another progressive leader in Caraga region on March 17.
(ACT Teachers Partylist Rep.) Tinio assailed President Aquino’s priorities as he said that while “there’s more money for pork barrel, nothing is allocated for salary increase of teachers.” He said government could not talk of success in education without giving decent salaries for teachers.
