Vice President and Education Secretary Sara Duterte on Wednesday, Nov. 23,  commended Filipino librarians for their hard work and contribution in the education sector.

Speaking during the Annual National Congress 2022 Philippine Librarians Association, Inc. (PLAI), Duterte expressed gratitude to librarians for ushering learners and in shaping their minds to “make informed choices and right decisions.”

“This experience complements the lessons they get from their basic education, enabling them to be well-informed, and in the end, allowing them to make informed choices and right decision,” Duterte said.

“We do not want our society’s enemies to win over decent, honest, hard-working citizens— our learners, our children. We cannot let them take away our country’s hope and bright future,” she added.

Duterte also hailed the launching of mobile libraries from different organizations and local government units including the Lakbay Alalay in Tarlac, the Lobrary Van Caravan in Ilocos Norte, and the mobile libraries in Davao City, Isabela City in Basilan, and Lanao del Norte.

“May our librarians be up to the task of supplementing school-based interventions by getting out of their comfort zones to help new generation of Filipinos learn to love reading,” she added. -ag
