The Teachers’ Dignity Coalition (TDC)-Bicol, in a statement issued July 6, urged the PNP-Sorsogon to pull out the materials disseminated to the public indicating that a teacher is among those individuals that may commit rape.
“We condemn the actions of the Sorsogon City Police and the Sorsogon Advisory Council [SAC] in using teachers as an example as potential rapists,” said TDC-Bicol President Romel Lleva in Bicolano. “We teachers are entitled with high respect and we uphold our dignity,” Lleva added.

The Alliance of Concerned Teachers (ACT) Philippines and the Teachers’ Dignity Coalition (TDC), in separate statements issued April 18, alleged that DepEd has been prioritizing other things instead of addressing pressing concerns of learners and parents under the distance learning set-up this school year.
These groups are referring to the directive issued by DepEd Undersecretary Revsee Escobedo to local field officials to make an inventory of the list of personnel who are members of ACT and TDC.
