OFFICIAL STATEMENT BY SARA DUTERTE ON DEPED SECRETARY POSITION

I wish to express my gratitude to presumptive President Bongbong Marcos for the confidence in me to lead the Department of Education.

Before the campaign, we talked about the Department of National Defense. But seeing the way things are at the moment, I expect that people who want to see the new administration to fail will fabricate intrigues about my loyalty and the DND position to break the UniTeam.

The Uniteam wants a stable Philippines and the most harmonious administration possible.
Yesterday, the presumptive President and I once again talked about how I could help the country. It was decided that I would work on producing skilled learners with the mindset to realize their full potential as individuals. Our country needs a future generation of patriotic Filipinos that advocate peace and discipline in their respective communities.

Meanwhile, we thank Sec. Leonor Briones and the entire DepEd organization for their readiness to work with our team for the transition of leadership after the proclamation.

We recognize the sincerity, hardwork, and dedication of Sec. Liling in implementing education reforms under the Duterte administration.

Thank you.
SARA Z. DUTERTE
Presumptive Vice President Chairman, LAKAS-CMD and Hugpong ng Pagbabago
