The Senate approved three solutions commending and congratulating
the outstanding teachers, police and soldiers through Metrobank Foundation’s
annual search.
Senate
President Franklin M. Drilon said, “The awardees should be lauded for their
devotion to their profession and for being outstanding role models.” “These men
and truly women have truly raised the bar in their respective professions,” he
added.
Sen.
Drilon said that the distinction displayed by the awardees provide inspiration
to the Senate to the pass pending measures aimed at improving the lives
of government workers, cops and soldiers.
“The
exemplary actions of these teachers, cops and soldiers just how state workers
deserve more support from the government they so eagerly serve, hence the
Senate’s recent passing of resolutions that will raise benefits for members of
the police and the military, along with the Senate’s focus on proposed
legislations on reviewing the tax bracket and on raising the 13th month pay tax
exemption for state workers,” he said.

of Metrobank Foundation’s Search for Outstanding Teachers (SOT) for 2014 award.
