Rappler Talk: Sara Duterte’s performance as VP, DepEd chief

MANILA, Philippines – Vice President and Education Secretary Sara Duterte delivered her second basic education report on Thursday, January 25, once again putting a spotlight on teachers’ welfare.

Duterte hit the right notes in her speech, touching on the country’s worsening learning gap and promising reforms that teachers have been long clamoring for. She delivered her report amid persistent rumors about her eroding rapport with “Uniteam” partner President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.
