“VICE President Sara Duterte’s finger-pointing does nothing to help the country. Real leadership means offering solutions, not just criticisms,” said Zamboanga del Norte 2nd District Rep. Glona Labadlabad, chairperson of the House Committee on Inter-Parliamentary Relations and Diplomacy.
“Her tenure as Education Secretary did not effectively address the root causes of our educational challenges. These unresolved concerns undermine her credibility when she criticizes the Marcos administration,” Labadlabad said.
Critics argue that under Duterte’s leadership, the Department of Education failed to improve teacher training, resource allocation, curriculum updates and critical thinking development.
These ongoing issues, Labadlabad said, highlight the need for more effective and collaborative effort to achieve educational reforms.
“Everyone in the House is working hard to address our nation’s problems. It’s time for us to end blame game and start leading by example and strive together in finding effective and efficient solutions not fault towards the attainment of a better and progressive nation,” Labadlabad stressed.
