International Relations Officer Dr. Joy M. Jamago expressed herย  thanks toย  the organizers of Teach for the Philippines, Inc. as it gives hope toย  retirees to teach even after their retirement age.ย  TFPI Representative Maria Michaela S. Bautista said that โ€œNo age limit forย  those interested individualย  who wants toย  teachย  underย  our organization, provided that the applicant is qualified.โ€ย  Furthermore, Dr. Jamagoย  explained that she is pretty sure that there are some other retirees who would like to continue their teaching passion and profession even after retirement. โ€œThis wasย  the hanging questionย  raised by one of our professors here in CMU, theย  possibility toย ย  teach for the organization even after retirement.โ€ The aforementioned statement was said byย  Dr. Jamagoย  in an up close interview duringย  aย  forum heldย  lastย  September 17, 2015 atย  the Human Ecology Room-14, College of Human Ecology.

During the forum, Bautista spoke about โ€œNation- Buildingย  throughย  Education: Invest inย  Teaching and Yourselfโ€ in which she emphasized thatย  working as a public school teacher is a passion. โ€œOnce you will become a fellow of TFP, you will avail of the trainings and seminars, plus, the organization will spend for yourย  study for additional 18 units of education to prepare yourselvesย  in takingย  the Licensure Examination for Teachers,โ€ย  Baustista said.

Moreover, it was learnedย  that a screening started mid-Septemberย  of 2015 in which Revolva was reported to say that โ€œPag kayo ay natanggap because you belong to the best, then you enjoyย  the salary equivalent to Teacher I chargeable against the organization fund.โ€
