GENDER equality group Enough Is Enough PH condemned the alleged negligence of Education Secretary Sara Duterte-Carpio in addressing the rising number of victims of campus predators.
“How much funds were used to make campuses safe spaces?” EIE lead convenor Sophia Reyes said.
The group made the statement after Duterte-Carpio defended the use of confidential funds, saying that those who are against CIF are enemies of the state.
The EIE said that her statement is clearly “fallacious and similar to her father’s tirades during his term as president.”
“We have gone down this road before and ordinary folks have already learned from her father’s hard hitting but empty rhetoric,” Reyes said.
“For gender equality groups such as EIE, we are baffled by her proposal of P650 million CIF for the Office of the Vice President and the Department of Education when she has nothing to show for it. Her negligence in addressing the rising number of victims of campus predators and enablers in her Department is condemnable,” she added.
