FORMER Senator Juan Edgardo “Sonny” Angara breezes through the confirmation process during the Committee on Education of the Commission on Appointments meeting Wednesday, August 7, 2024, on his ad interim appointment as education secretary.
The panel only took less than 10 minutes to approve Angara’s nomination as he was excused from delivering his opening statement while members of the CA panel, as a courtesy to the nominee who was a member of both the Senate and the House of Representatives, no longer questioned his fitness to the position.
Senator Christopher Lawrence “Bong” Go supports the ad interim appointment of former Sen. Juan Edgardo “Sonny” Angara as secretary of the Department of Education (DepEd) during the Commission on Appointments’ Committee on Education meeting Wednesday, August 7, 2024. Go said he has full trust and confidence in Angara’s capability to carry out his duties and responsibilities as he possesses exceptional qualifications for the post.
“His extensive knowledge of the law and his dedication in uplifting the educational standards in the country have made him very well equipped as DepEd secretary,” Go said. (Senate Public Relations and Information Bureau)
