Hi mam. Happy New Year.
What happen in Luzon is also true here in Mindanao and I just would like to address my concern to the BFL re: Malparctice of the profession per RA 9246.
In connection with SECTION 8 and SECTION 26 of RA9246, may I ask and recommend the BFL to look into or check the legality of all librarians in all private schools, public and state universities here in Mindanao also.
When I visited one of the state universities in Bukidnon, it is very much alarming and degrading on our part as licensed librarians because the University Licensed Librarian is under the direct supervision of the Supervisor of Libraries whose capacity is on designation status but not a licensed librarian.
The reason of the officials is " Trust and Confidence". I consider this a very tough and serious issue.

Similarly, BFL should coordinate with DBM since our promotion cannot be approved
if there is no available item for librarians in the agency. My case is, I am a
Librarian's eligible in 1982 and converted the same to PRC License which was
approved in 1994. I serve as College Librarian I for 21 years, reached the
ceiling of step 8 in 1997. I am deprived of a promotion despite my MLS and MPA
degrees, recently finished the academic requirements for a PhD in Philippine
Studies. Likewise, I am deprived of the longevity incentive every three years
of permanent tenure since I reached step 8 due outstanding and very satisfactory
ratings because DBM has not approved our promotion.
Another irony is the giving of incentive to board positions by promoting one
rank higher in terms of pay for Librarian I or Accountant I. To my dismay,
College Librarian I was not included, when it is a fact that this position can
only be occupied if one is licensed like Librarian I and the like.
Even if I did not take the board for librarian, I was exempted because of my
Librarian's, Teacher's, and Civil service eligibilities before RA 6966 was
enacted.
It is anticipated that my sentiments be heard and given due justice like all
others on the same boat as I do.
Thank you for opening this issue. Librarians should be recognized as important
instrument to achieve the thrust for academmic excellence.

The problem with our profession is the compensation. Most of the time school owners/administrators are taking us for granted that is we got the lowest pay not like tachers. They thought our functions are lighter than those mentors. Specially catalogers like me. They are asking how many books can we catalog within the day not knowing that cataloging is not an easy job. It is not like eating peanuts. It is not just you assign call numbers to the materials by just rlying on the title itself. Sometimes titles are misleading to the real subject. As often as I heard from speakers on seminars, forums in the like catalogers are important figure in the library. Not all librarians can catalog remember that.
Some of the adminstrators don't know how important we are specially license one. They should take good care of us so that we don't leave them. They should know our salary scale.
As I remeber one of my professor (a highly respected one in the profession) in my masteral
several years ago said, qoute and unquote, "We librarians should name our price". I proved what she said is right.
