In the Philippines, working in public sector is one of the dreams of many. It is because civil service workers in the Philippines is receiving a good pay plus good bonus compared to those who are working in the private sector.
That is why a lawmaker is calling for graduating high school student as well as first and second-year college student to consider taking courses in education and health sector.
Makati City Representative Luis Jose Angel N. Campos Jr. said the government plans to hire more than 230,000 professionals in the education and health sectors until 2020 to improve public schools and the delivery of medical services in the country.
In the said number, 181,980 slot intends for teachers and 52,562 health practitioners.
This year alone, Campos said, the Department of Education (DepEd) has allocated some P15.5 billion to fill up 53,831 new teaching positions this 2017.
"The fastest-growing profession in the years ahead will be teaching, as DepEd steps up hiring to cope with the demands of a rapidly expanding public school system," he said.
"The need for Math and Science teachers, in particular, will be exceptionally strong," he added.
Currently, according to Campos, public school teachers are receiving a monthly salary ranging from P19,077 for entry-level teachers under Salary Grade 11, and as much as P39,768 for a Master Teacher III under Salary Grade 20.
"These pay rates will increase every year until they reach P20,754 for Teacher 1 and P51,155 for Master Teacher III starting January 1, 2019, under Executive Order 201 of 2016."
For those under the medical field, Campos said the government is looking to hire more than 50,000 health professionals.

![An official of Commission on Higher Education (CHED) called for a moratorium on all field trips and educational tours in all private and public colleges and universities following the tourist bus accident in Tanay, Rizal that claimed 15 students lives and left more than 30 others injured. CHED Commissioner Prospero de Vera III said that until the investigation on the incident is completed, a moratorium is needed. "I will request the Commission en banc today to immediately issue a directive to all higher education institutions so we can properly investigate this tragedy and review current policies covering field trips," de Vera said. Initial investigation said the bus with college students from Bestlink College on board was bound for a medical and survival training for their National Service Training Program (NSTP) subject when it lose brakes while traversing a curved highway.The uncontrolled bus rammed an electric post and a nearby tree along Magnetic Hill in Peligrini Farm, Sito Baykan, Barangay Sampaloc, Tanay, Rizal. "While it is true that field trips are essential to give students the opportunity to see and explore new things, enhance their learning experience in a natural setting, and provide for interest-driven and hands on training, the safety of the students on field trips must be ensured at all times by school authorities," de Vera added. The tragedy must be a "reminder that we must be very strict in regulating the use of public transportation for school sponsored trips. We must also determine if higher education institutions comply with requirements of safety and whether current policies adequately protect students," according to De Vera. The CHED official reminded that before they hold educational tours or field trips,colleges and universities need to inform their regional offices one month prior to the event. He added that educational tours and field trips are regulated under CHED Memorandum Order No. 17 which requires: 1) the education tour/field is essential to enhance the curriculum of the course; 2) prior consultation with students are made when there are additional costs involved; 3) the information is included in the Student Handbook and discussed during the student orientation; and 4) risk assessment procedures are discussed with parents. De Vera said that CHED have already instructed Officials of Bestlink College to submit an incident report to CHED National Capital Region in order to determine if there were violations on the regulation. Meanwhile, the CHED official expressed deep sympathy toward the bereaved families. "We share the grief and bereavement of the families who lost their [loved] ones and all those affected by this horrific tragedy. We will expedite the necessary investigation to determine if proper procedures were observed by school authorities, impose the necessary sanctions, if warranted, and determine whether existing policies adequately protect the safety of students," de Vera said. On the other hand, despite the plea of parents and the tragedy that happened it was also reported that Bestlink College officials decided to continue the medical and survival training for the rest of the groups . According to De Vera, the decision of the school's camping trip to push through can be considered as insensitive and irresponsible. "Bestlink College should now cancel the camping activity, bring the students home safely, and provide counseling for the students, their friends and their families," de Vera said.
