The Teachers' Dignity Coalition (TDC), in a statement issued Saturday, August 23, said the change came a day after TDC leaders met with Budget Secretary Amenah Pangandaman to discuss the allowance's implementation.
TDC noted that the updated directive was issued in a DepEd memorandum dated August 20.
"This is a positive step, and we appreciate that DepEd has listened to the voice of teachers," said TDC National Chairperson Benjo Basas, a teacher in Caloocan City.
