DepEd in ‘good hands’ if Sara Duterte leads– Briones

According to Education Secretary Leonor Briones, the Department of Education will be in “good hands” once presumptive Vice President Sara Duterte-Carpio heads the agency.

Briones said she is opened to the announcement of presumptive President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. that he would appoint Duterte-Carpio as DepEd secretary.

“I and the DepEd family are ready to work with her team for the orderly transition of DepEd leadership,” Briones said. 

“We are confident that DepEd will be in able hands and anticipate a continuity.”

According to Marcos, Sara Duterte has agreed to lead the agency.
