MANILA, Philippines — A teachers' group called on the Department of Education to investigate all angles of the recent maternity leave scam one of the agency's regional officials discovered.

 

This comes after an official of the department's Taguig-Pateros school division exposed the supposed scam, alleging that it found some teachers filed maternity leaves up to 11 times in the span of three years.

 

In a statement, the Alliance of Concerned Teachers Philippines hit those behind the scam as it questioned how such a scheme could have happened if it were truly an isolated incident.
