As she formally assumed the position as a Department of Education Secretary, Vice President Sara Duterte on Monday, July 4, paid tribute to her predecessor Leonor Briones.
“And I am humbled and honored to follow in the footsteps of a much-admired academic, public servant, social activist, and change-maker,” Duterte added. “When we talk about governance and public service, we talk about dedication, commitment, integrity, and selflessness,” Duterte said, noting Briones has become the embodiment of all these qualities.
She also recognized Briones’ leadership during the Covid-19 pandemic. “DepEd adapted and implemented bold but necessary measures to provide Filipino children accessible and quality education — ensuring that learning is unhampered and our learners are not left out — while also ensuring the economic welfare of our teachers and the non-teaching personnel working under the organization,” Duterte said.
Amid the calls for an academic freeze amid the pandemic, Duterte cited DepEd’s response which was academic ease under Briones’ leadership.
