AFTER the video of the teacher scolding her students went viral, House Deputy Majority Leader Janette Garin urged the Department of Education (DepEd) to look deeply into the incident as it may not be an isolated case.
“We need to look into this kasi baka mamaya it is not an isolated case. Nagkataon lang na nalaman ng lahat kasi ni-live niya. So hindi siya by accident, it is intentional. There is a deeper message behind that,” Garin said during the press conference in the House of Representatives.
The Iloilo lawmaker said that the DepEd must ascertain the reason behind the acts of the public school teacher to understand the situation, noting that the teacher’s move may be her way to voice out her concerns.
“Ano ba ‘yung pinagmulan ng lahat ng ito? Where is she coming from? And nakakalabas ba sila ng bodes within the Department of Education? Is somebody hearing them out? Is somebody hearing their problems? Or is somebody supporting them?” she asked.
“What should be the feedback mechanism between our teachers and their administration? This is a very important thing that should be looked into because for all we know baka mamaya sa loob loob niya nandun na ‘yung galit pero hindi siya makalapit sa principal, sa regional director or baka nakalapit siya, may problema na pero kinocontain kasi hindi nila maipalabas sa Central Office,” Garin continued.
The teacher did a live video on her social media account while she was berating her students which received backlash from the netizens.
DepEd said that it has yet to issue sanctions to the teacher and assured her that she will undergo due process.
“This can also be an eye opener. May mali ang teacher, yes. There is also the impact of social media, yes. But we also have to look at the bigger picture. Baka ‘yung ating mga public school teachers ay mayroon ding pinagdaraanan and wala dun ‘yung avenue na ‘yung mga needs nila o ‘yung mental problems nila,” the lady lawmaker stressed.
