ANGELES CITY -- About 1,506 units of 2-in-1 laptop and touch screen tablets with dual software of Windows and Android and quad core processor are ready for distribution to all public teachers in this city.

"These equipment will help our beloved teachers in preparing their lessons and lectures easier," Mayor Ed Pamintuan said during a meeting with ONA doctors.

"Now their presentations can be made through PowerPoint and students could appreciate learning better," he added.

The Office of the City Administrator is also elated with the good news.

Lawyer Dennis Albert Pamintuan said "this will surely make classes in our public schools better for our students."

Aside from the laptops and gadgets, a total of 246 LED TV monitors (32-inch) will also be distributed to the Department of Education (DepEd) Angeles as teaching aids to be used by the teachers here in the city.

For this year, the local school board through the special education fund of the City has approved the monthly allowance of 2,235 teachers of P1,500 and also for the monthly allowance of more than 215 non-teaching personnel of also P1,500.

That would sum up to a total of about P3.9 million for the hardworking people of DepEd Angeles.

Early in January, the City Treasurer certified the amount of P95 million to fund the budget requirements of the local school board principal budget for 2016. The monthly allowance for both teaching and NTP reaches a total of P44,736,000 for this year.

Pamintuan reiterated his continued support for all the teachers and all the staff of DepEd Angeles in order to provide quality education to all Angelenos.
