DepEd Order No. 29, s. 2002 (Merit Selection Plan of the Department of Education (DepEd)) clearly states that it is the policy of the
department to strictly adhere to the principles of merit, competence, fitness, and equality, and that the selection and promotion of
employees shall always be based on their relative qualifications and competence to perform die duties and responsibilities of the position.
To achieve this objective, various issuances were issued by the Department of Education for the selection, promotion, and appointment of
various levels of position available in the department. For School Heads, DepEd Order No. 42, s. 2007 was established; while for other OtherTeaching, Related-Teaching and Non-Teaching positions, DepEd Order No. 66, s. 2007 is being utilized. On the other hand, various
references are being used in the selection and promotion of Master Teacher position, such as MEC Order No. 10, s 1979, MEC Order No. 29,
s 1979, and DECS Order No. 70, s. 1988.
However, most of the said issuances have gray areas that often lead to the different interpretation of the personnel selection board. Thus, to
further achieve the principles of merit and fitness, and the objectivity and uniformity in the assessment and evaluation, these clarificatory
guidelines are issued.

Hello po. I am a SHST3 in our division. Twice na po akong nag-attempt magpa-rank for SHS MT1, pero, for the same reason, I was
rejected twice. Di daw po ako qualified sa sinet na QS ng CSC for SHSMT1 since di ako grad ng MA ko, units lang. Pero MEC ang
basis nila ng ranking, which clearly states that units in MA will do. Ano po ba talaga ang totoo?

Greetings po Sir Llego.
I am Mrs. LIANE D. CASTILLO from Binan City Senior High School – San Antonio Campus, City of Binan, Laguna, RQA Master Teacher
II qualified po ako 2nd batch wala pong Master Teacher II item kaya tinanggap ko ang offer na Teacher II sa akin ng division of
Binan dahil ang promise sa akin ay priority ako kapag meron na pong item 4yrs. na po akong naghihintay tapos sinabi nila sa akin
na ranking na ang promotion kapag walang qualified na next in rank saka pa lang ako ma promote. I am mislead by the division
and I am not getting any younger anymore two years na lang ay 60 yrs. old na ako. Gumawa na ako ng Action Research with
certificate issued by the division, naging subject coordinator na ako with certificate sign by EPS and participants sa division INSET,
tapos po ako ng Masteral Degree. Hoping for the positive results for my concerned.
THANK YOU, MORE POWER and GOD BLESSED!

Greetings po Sir LLego.
I am Mr. Wilfredo D. Bartolo, Jr. from Cotabato Province. Plain and simple po na kapag may “gray areas”, misinterpretations or
confusions regarding the Master Teacher qualifications, only the Central Office can clarify through a corrigendum, ratification, or
amendment of these existing order MEC Order No. 10, s 1979, MEC Order No. 29, s 1979, and DECS Order No. 70, s. 1988. . Hindi
po ba? Thank you po!
