What happened
The Alliance of Concerned Teachers (ACT-Davao) confirmed its role in representing educators throughout the Davao Region. The group is demanding higher pay, lighter workloads, and a larger education budget from the Department of Education. Specific demands include a ₱50,000 entry-level salary and an education funding level equal to 6 percent of gross domestic product. These demands followed the Department of Education's mass oath-taking of 1,814 newly promoted teachers and school heads on October 1.
