Abstract
The Philippine Teachers' Association (PTA), an organization established during the American period, began releasing its monthly journal The Filipino Teacher in 1907. This research primarily focused on examining the role of the publication as a platform for the PTA's advocacies from 1907 to 1911. Emphasis was given to the education-sector issues discussed in its editorial pages. The Filipino Teacher's editorials during those years covered a wide array of topics, including teachers' salary, promotion opportunities, and overcrowded classrooms - concerns that remain relevant to this day. Scanned copies of The Filipino Teacher -accessed through the University of Michigan's Philippine American History Special Collection online portal - were utilized for this historical narrative. It is hoped that future researchers can access sources on other defunct teachers' organizations once the present limitations on doing archival research caused by the current pandemic are over.
