Teachers in the Philippines staged a protest on Tuesday demanding the safe reopening of schools, which have stayed shuttered this year due to rising cases of Covid-19.

The demonstrators converged at the gates of the Philippine House of Representatives in Quezon City on September 14, calling on lawmakers to allocate a larger budget to the pandemic-hit education sector.
