Tabuk, Kalinga - Many teachers here are complaining against the decision of the division uniform committee of the Department of Education (DepEd) for the office itself to supply their uniforms.
They charge that the decision has taken away their right to choose which outlet to buy their uniforms from because the DepEd-Kalinga is pressuring them to buy the uniforms from it and has in fact withheld their Productivity Incentive Bonus (PIB) amounting to P2,000.00 to compel them to do so.
They said that in previous years they have received the PIB April but this year the benefit has not yet been released by the division.
The teachers said that they would not mind buying from the division except that the price is significantly higher than those in stores in Tuguegarao City, Baguio City and Manila.
The DepEd-Kalinga is selling the three uniform sets - one national, one regional and the last for the division – at P550.00 per set. They said they can buy the clothe for the national uniform for as low as P250.00 in the market.
They have problems with the regional and division uniforms, however, because these have distinctive embroidery which are not available outside.
But according to Soliman Lazaro, owner of the Prince Lord Tailoring where many of the teachers are having their unforms sewn, even with the embroidery, the regional and division uniforms would not cost more than P450.00 if he will do the purchasing himself.
OIC-Assistant Division Superitendent Natividad Bayubay reacted that the delayed processing of the PIB is not connected with the sale of the uniforms.
She said that the vouchers for the PIB of three of the 10 districts of Kalinga have already been signed adding that the delay in the processing is being caused by the failure of the teachers to submit requirements such as their performance rating for the past school year.
She justified the decision of the division uniform committee to supply the uniforms by saying that DepEd Memorandum No. 01, series of 2007, gives the division committee the option to decide on the modes of procurement and distribution of the uniforms.
Regarding the higher price of the DepEd-Kalinga stocks, she said that the committee presumed that the rates of the supplier are reasonable because the same supplier is supplying almost all the divisions in the Cordillera, the NCR, and Regions V and VIII.
She also said that when they learned that the uniforms could be procured at a cheaper price in the outside market, they told the teachers who have not yet bought from the DepEd-Kalinga that they could buy outside provided that they will be wearing them starting June 4.
The teachers complained that instead of helping teachers since the textile were procured in bulk and therefore cheaper, the DepEd-Kalinga is taking advantage of them. ** Estanislao Albano Jr.
