PNU ORGS DENOUNCE SARA’S APPOINTMENT AS DEPED SEC

/ 13 May 2022

ORGANIZATIONS at the Philippine Normal University decried the announcement that presumptive Vice President Sara Duterte-Carpio will be the next secretary of the Department of Education.

This came after presumptive President Ferdinand ‘Bongbong’ Marcos Jr. said that Duterte-Carpio accepted the position on Wednesday.

In a unified statement along with other groups and organizations inside the university, the groups said that Duterte-Carpio does not have the expertise to hold the position.

They added that Duterte-Carpio will be a tool for historical revisionism.

“Bilang mga magiging guro ng bayan sa hinaharap, marapat na tutulan ang plano ng tambalang Marcos-Duterte hindi lamang upang linisin at baguhin ang kasaysayan ng kanilang pamilya,” the organizations said.

“Hindi kwalipikado si Sara Duterte na tanganan ang responsibilidad na ayusin ito. Bagkus, ipinapanganib lamang ng tambalang Marcos-Duterte ang mga kabataang Pilipinong dumaranas na ng malalang krisis sa edukasyon,” they added.
