MANILA — Senator Sonny Angara expressed openness to the possibility of becoming the Secretary of the Department of Education (DepEd) if the position were offered to him.
“I’m open if trusted with the role. It’s something you can’t refuse,” Angara told reporters when asked about his willingness to take on the position of the next DepEd chief.
“We’ll cross that bridge when we get there. If the President needs me, I’m willing to help,” the senator added.
However, Angara clarified that he has not yet received any offers for the position.
Previously, Senate President Chiz Escudero described Angara as an “excellent choice” for the role of DepEd head.
On June 29, President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. mentioned that he requires more time to decide on the next Secretary of the Education Department.
