Scenario 1:
Teacher Belgira is a newly hired teacher at St. Francis National High School. According to the
principal, he will receive his first monthly salary soon. Aside from his monthly salary, what
other monetary compensation is he entitled to as a teacher in a public school?
Answer:
As a newly hired teacher at St. Francis National High School, Teacher Belgira is entitled to several
monetary compensations beyond his monthly salary. In a public school, teachers typically receive
additional benefits such as a 13th-month pay, which is a bonus equivalent to one month's salary
provided usually at the end of the year. Additionally, there are allowances that teachers can receive,
including a transportation allowance and a clothing allowance. These allowances can vary
depending on the specific policies of the school or the region, so Teacher Belgira should check with
the school's administration to understand the exact amount and eligibility criteria for these
allowances. Moreover, teachers in public schools often have access to government-sponsored health
and retirement benefits, which are important long-term monetary benefits that provide security and
financial stability.
Scenario 2:
Teacher Annie, a newly hired teacher, was assigned as a multi-grade Teacher at Sitio Pag-asa
Elementary School. What monetary compensation is she entitled to as a teacher in a public
school?
Answer:
Teacher Annie, as a newly assigned multi-grade teacher at Sitio Pag-asa Elementary School, is also
entitled to various monetary compensations as a public school teacher. Like Teacher Belgira, she can
expect to receive her monthly salary as well as the 13th-month pay, which is a bonus equivalent to
one month's salary typically given at the end of the year. Additionally, teachers in public schools may
receive allowances such as transportation and clothing allowances, although the specific amounts
and eligibility criteria can vary depending on the region and school policies. It's important for
Teacher Annie to inquire with the school's administration to get precise details about these
allowances. Furthermore, as a public school teacher, she can access government-sponsored health
and retirement benefits, which are valuable monetary benefits for her long-term financial well-being.
These benefits ensure that she and her family have access to healthcare and financial security
throughout her teaching career and retirement.

Corpuz? eligibility criteria for Loyalty Pay may vary
depending on the policies of the Department of
Education or the local government education
authority. If Teacher Corpuz is not qualified for
Loyalty Pay, I would inform him of the specific
reasons for his ineligibility, such as any gaps in
his service or other factors that may not meet the
established criteria.
Scenario 4: Teacher Tagayon is a newly hired Teacher Tagayon, who started her service on
teacher in Timbao Elementary School. Her first November 12, 2019, is typically not entitled to
day of service was November 12, 2019. Is she receive Cash Allowance for the school year

school year 2020? Explain your answer. School Supplies Allowance, is usually granted
to public school teachers who have rendered
service for the entire school year preceding the
release of the allowance. Since Teacher
Tagayon's service began in November 2019, she
has not completed the full school year of 2020,
and therefore, she would not meet the eligibility
criteria for the Cash Allowance for that specific
school year.
Scenario 1: Teacher Lani, a Senior High School Teacher, gave birth to her fifth child. Can she avail
of maternity leave? If yes, how long? Will she still receive a salary even if she is on leave for a
reason already mentioned? Explain your answer.
Answer:
Teacher Lani, as a Senior High School Teacher, can avail of maternity leave in the Philippines.
Under the law, a female employee is entitled to 105 days of maternity leave if she has given birth to
her fifth child, regardless of the mode of delivery. During her maternity leave, she is entitled to
receive her full salary, which includes her basic salary and any other additional benefits or
allowances she typically receives. The employer is mandated to pay for these benefits, and she
should not suffer any loss of income while on maternity leave.
Scenario 2: One of the teachers in Dela Paz Elementary School was suffering from domestic
violence. Allegedly, her husband was having an affair with other women, resulting in the withdrawal
of financial support for their three (3) children. The teacher wants to take some time off to file a case
against her husband, but she is worried that she has already incurred too many absences, leaving her
with no more service credits. What will you advise the teacher?
Answer:
In the case of the teacher at Dela Paz Elementary School who is suffering from domestic violence,
she may be entitled to special leave benefits and protection under the Anti-Violence Against Women
and Their Children Act of 2004 (RA 9262) in the Philippines. This act provides protection and
support to victims of domestic violence, including legal remedies and special leave privileges. I
would advise the teacher to consult with her school's human resources department and seek legal
counsel, if necessary, to explore her rights under the law and determine the availability of special
leave to address her situation. Accumulated absences should not be a barrier when dealing with such
critical personal issues.
Answer:
Teacher Anthony, a Technical-Vocational-Livelihood (TVL) teacher in Sto. Tomas Senior
High School, is entitled to certain benefits following his accident during a demonstration
teaching.
Typically, he may be eligible for:

leave as recommended by the doctor. The duration of the leave would depend on the doctor's advice
and the policies of the school or the Department of Education.
2. Sickness Benefits: Depending on his employment contract and the relevant government
policies, he may be entitled to sickness benefits or health insurance coverage, which can help
cover medical expenses.
3. Salary Continuation: Some employers offer salary continuation for a certain period during
an employee's sick leave, ensuring that Teacher Anthony continues to receive his salary while he's
recovering.
It's important for Teacher Anthony to check with the school's administration and
human resources department to understand the specific benefits and support available to him
during his medical leave.

As a new member of the Department of Education (DepEd), it's crucial to understand and appreciate
the government's effort to value and support teachers in their mission to nurture the holistic
development of learners. One way to show appreciation for these efforts is by dedicating oneself to
the teaching profession with enthusiasm and commitment. By giving your best in the classroom, you
contribute to the realization of the government's investment in the education system. This effort

Required Task 3: Activity LEARNING THE ABCs
Practice the ABCs in managing stress from the given Activating Events. Be able to provide your
Beliefs and the possible Consequences. Identify other stress-triggering experiences where you
could apply the principles of ABCs Formula.
Read and analyze the given scenarios. Identify the main problem in each financial situation and
the possible effects that it may bring.
1. Teacher Marie has a big family. She has four sons and two daughters. Her husband has no
regular work. Every month, there is an expectation from their children that they will be going to the
mall to spend time dining together. They also buy the things that their children are requesting, even
unnecessary ones. Teacher Marie does not want to disappoint them. So, upon receiving her salary,
she always gives favor to them.
Main Problem: Teacher Marie's financial problem is her inability to manage her
finances effectively. She is consistently overspending on non-essential
items and indulging her children's requests without setting financial
boundaries.
Possible Effects: 1. Financial Strain: Teacher Marie's husband's lack of regular work,
combined with their excessive spending, can lead to financial strain
and difficulty in covering basic expenses such as bills, groceries, and
utilities.
2. Debt Accumulation: Continuously spending beyond their means may
lead to debt accumulation through credit cards or loans, causing further
financial instability.
3. Lack of Savings: The family's habit of overspending leaves little
room for saving money for emergencies, retirement, or long-term
financial
goals.
4. Unhealthy Financial Habits: The children may develop unhealthy
financial habits by expecting indulgent spending and not understanding
the importance of budgeting and financial responsibility.
5. Stress and Tension: The financial stress resulting from their spending
habits may lead to tension and conflict within the family, affecting
their overall well-being.
2. Principal Santos has observed the spending pattern of the newly-hired teachers in their
school. Their lifestyle includes passion for international travels, fashionable clothes, and
latest gadgets. They even invest part of their salaries to an online business that is not
authorized and does not provide sure income. No wonder that they are always hopeful for
paydays.
Main Problem: The main problem in this financial situation is the newly-hired teachers'
unsustainable spending habits, including extravagant international travel,
spending on fashionable clothes and gadgets, and investing in an unauthorized
and uncertain online business. Their lifestyle choices may lead to financial
instability.
