Arthur Defensor Jr. emphasizes incoming Education Secretary Sen. Sonny Angara’s effectiveness in navigating legislative processes and securing funding for educational priorities, such as classroom resources and teacher support, among others. ILOILO — Gov. Arthur Defensor Jr. expressed confidence that Sen. Juan Edgardo “Sonny” Angara serving as Education Secretary will positively impact the province of Iloilo and the rest of the country by facilitating requests for additional education-related resources, including classrooms. The governor highlighted their connection, noting their time together at the University of the Philippines, their fraternity ties at Sigma Rho, and their work at the Angara Abello Concepcion Regala & Cruz Law Offices (ACCRALaw). Defensor expressed his approval of President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.’s decision to appoint an Angara as the next Secretary of the Department of Education (DepEd). He said Angara is the “best man” to lead the education sector, citing his notable educational achievements and professional background. Angara, who holds degrees from Harvard Law School, the London School of Economics and Political Science, and the University of the Philippines, was praised by Defensor for his expertise and dedication to educational reform. Defensor also lauded Angara’s legislative record, particularly his role in advocating for the Secondary School Career Guidance and Counselling Act (Republic Act No. 11206), which Defensor authored while he was the representative of Iloilo’s 3rd District. He emphasized Angara’s effectiveness in navigating legislative processes and securing funding for educational priorities, such as classroom resources and teacher support. “We need a former legislator for our educational system. Senator Angara will be the best champion for the education budget in both the House and the Senate. We are happy that he is there,” Defensor added. Dr. Ernesto Servillon Jr., Schools Division Superintendent of Iloilo Province, also welcomed the appointment of Angara. “It is a welcome development because right now there is an ongoing activity related to education between the office of Senator Angara, and the Provincial Government of Iloilo City Government of Iloilo City,” he said, referring to the “Proof of Concept on the Devolution of Specific Functions of Basic Education to Local Governments.” Servillon expressed confidence in Angara’s leadership, stating, “This engagement with the education sector is a strong indicator that he could lead the Department to greater heights. I am happy and I feel comfortable with Senator Angara as our new Secretary.” Angara will replace Vice President Sara Duterte, who announced her resignation as Education Secretary on June 19, 2024./PN Citation Citation of the article Sornito, I.
