DEPARTMENT of Education Secretary Sonny Angara led the oath-taking of the agency’s undersecretary, Schools Division Superintendents (SDS), and Assistant Schools Division Superintendents (ASDS).

Angara congratulated DepEd Undersecretary Malcolm Garma and the 34 newly appointed full-fledged SDS and ASDS.

“Sa kabila ng buong pusong paglilingkod at pamumuno, ilan sa kanila ay matiyagang naghintay nang anim hanggang pitong taon bago tuluyang maitalaga,” Angara said.

He also expressed gratitude to President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. for directing the acceleration of appointments of qualified Officers-in-Charge to full-fledged officials, saying:
