100,000 Pinoy English teachers tatanggapin ng China

MANILA, Philippines — Handang tumanggap ng nasa 100,000 Pinoy English teachers ang China, ayon kay Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte.

Inihayag ito ni Duterte bago siya lumipad patungong China kahapon kung saan nakatakda siyang dumalo sa Boao Forum for Asia.

“Yes, let me just say the market of China is growing and our Philippine efforts are included there. But having said that, we are also in a position now – we are going to have a platform for this actually, especially the labor department, tumatanggap na sila ngayon ng trabahante. They are accepting first teachers but 100,000,” wika ng pangulo.

Sinabi ni Philippine Ambassador to China Chito Sta. Romana na inaasahang lalagda sa kasunduan ang dalawang bansa upang mapadala ang mga guro sa China.

“There are some minor details still being ironed out, but if everything works, the agreement (is) to hire more Filipino English teachers for China,” ani Sta. Romana.

“There used to be a Chinese rule that excluded the Philippines as a legal source or as a source that they encouraged. They wanted to emphasize what they called native speakers but they have relaxed it now,” dagdag ng ambassador.

Naniniwala si Sta. Romana na nangyayari ito dahil sa gumagandang relasyon ng dalawang bansa mula nang maupo si Duterte.

“They became more open. So now they are more open, they are more accommodating and there’s growing need in China to learn English,” patuloy niya.

Tiniyak naman ni Sta. Romana na ang mga makukuhang guro ay mapoprotektahan ng gobyerno ng Pilipinas.
