Department of Education Secretary and Vice President Sara Duterte celebrated on Wednesday, Oct. 5, the National Teachers’ Day in Bangued, Abra with First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos.

The First Lady and Duterte were at the Abra Sports Complex to witness the performances for the teachers in the province, where Duterte also expressed gratitude to the local government officials for the assistance they have provided for the success of the event.

“Nagpapasalamat ako sa mga opisyal ng probinsiya dahil tinulungan po nila kami na mabuo ang ating programa para sa ating selebrasyon ng Teachers’ Day,” Duterte said.

The education secretary said in her speech that teachers are close to her heart, as she considered them allies in developing the minds of the youth and in nation building.

“Kaya gusto naming malaman ninyong lahat, mahal namin ang mga guro hindi lang sa Department of Education kundi lahat ng guro kahit sa private sector, kahit mga retired na, kahit yung mga susunod pa na mga guro na ngayon ay nasa higher education at ang kanilang intention ay pumasok sa ating Philippine Education System para magturo ng ating mga learners,” she said. –ag
