Public schools and teachers can be assured of sufficient funding for their various needs, should former Senator and 2025 senatorial candidate Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson earn a Senate seat in May.
Lacson said he will move to augment the appropriations for programs like school nutrition as well as teachers’ allowances in the national budget – as he has done every year while in the Senate.
“When I was in the Senate, I would augment their funding in the budget deliberations. This is consistently every year,” he said.

He said this includes pushing the augmentation of the allowance of teachers, the school feeding program, and the “chalk allowances” of teachers before Sen. Ramon Bong Revilla Jr. authored a law to ensure the chalk allowance is sufficient.
Lacson said that if such augmented appropriations for schools and teachers could not be done through regular legislation, it can be done through the General Appropriations Act or the national budget.
“I did that every year through institutional amendments where we can seek added appropriations for nutrition, school feeding, and augmenting teachers’ allowances,” he said.
Lacson amended the budget law for various years to increase the funding for education-related programs that include:
* Quick Response Fund
* Indigenous People’s Education Program
* Flexible Learning Options
* Special Education Program
* Inclusive Education Program
* Child Protection Program
* Last Mile Schools Program
* UP Diliman Institute of Marine Science
* UPLB National Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology’s research and development
* Continuing Education-Teacher Quality and Development Program
* Textbooks and Other Instructional Materials
* Computerization program

Ping Lacson, Titiyakin ang Sapat na Budget para sa School Programs at Allowance ng Guro
Makatitiyak ang mga pampublikong paaralan at mga guro ng sapat na pondo para sa kanilang mga pangangailangan kung manalo sa pagkasenador sa Mayo si dating Senador at 2025 senatorial candidate Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson.
Ani Lacson, dadagdagan niya ang budget para sa programa tulad ng school nutrition at pati na rin ang allowances ng mga guro sa pambansang budget – tulad ng ginawa niya kada taon na nasa Senado siya.
“Noong sa Senate ako, consistently every year tuwing may budget deliberation nag-augment ako,” aniya.
Kabilang dito ang pagtulak para dagdagan ang allowance ng guro, ang school feeding program, at ang “chalk allowances” ng guro bago naging batas ang panukala ni Sen. Ramon Bong Revilla Jr. para tiyaking sapat ang chalk allowance.
Ani Lacson, kung hindi maidaan sa regular legislation ang pagdagdag sa budget para sa paaralan at guro, maaari itong idaan sa General Appropriations Act o ang pambansang budget.
“I did that every year through institutional amendments where we can seek added appropriations for nutrition, school feeding, and augmenting teachers’ allowances,” aniya.
Inamyenda ni Lacson ang pambansang budget para dagdagan ang pondo ng mga programa para sa edukasyon katulad ng:
* Quick Response Fund
* Indigenous People’s Education Program
* Flexible Learning Options
* Special Education Program
* Inclusive Education Program
* Child Protection Program
* Last Mile Schools Program
* UP Diliman Institute of Marine Science
* UPLB National Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology’s research and development
* Continuing Education-Teacher Quality and Development Program
* Textbooks and Other Instructional Materials
* Computerization program
