‘Amang’ for automation
Party-list Alliance of Volunteer Educators Rep. Eulogio “Amang” Magsaysay calls for the “automation of the election process” ...to allow teachers to render voluntary, instead of mandatory, service during elections.”
Magsaysay recounts how 18 teachers on poll duty got caught in the “crossfire’ between political factions in a previous election and one Batangas teacher getting killed by gunmen trying to snatch the ballot box she was carrying.
High time Senate Bill 2231, as passed, became operational, Magsaysay believes, because teachers have had enough of political persecution and corruption during elections.
“We really have to do something about this recurrent plight of the public school teachers. Now, not tomorrow, not next week and, definitely, not beyond 2007,” Magsaysay said. The guy had a good teacher, for sure, in his time.

it's about time we let our teachers decide if they really want to serve during elections. give what is really due to them. secure them not only during elections but all the time. they are our molders, without them we will be nothing!
