VP Sara: Keeping kids in school curbs poverty, lawlessness


MALAYBALAY CITY (PIA)--Philippine Vice President and Department of Education (DepEd) Secretary Sara Duterte-Carpio emphasized the crucial role of education in unlocking potential and opportunities.

Duterte-Carpio, the keynote speaker to cap Bukidnon's month-long Kaamulan Festival on April 22, urged everyone to keep kids in school by focusing on the mantra "education is the key to success.”

“Kinahanglan magkahiusa kita sa edukasyon sa atong mga anak. Ilayo nato sila sa droga, kriminalidad, ug terrorismo. Seguraduhon nato ang pagprotekta kanila aron makakita pa kita sa ilang malinawon nga kaugmaon dili lang dinhi sa inyong probinsya sa Bukidnon kundili sa tibuok nasud. (We need to work together in educating our children. We must keep them away from drugs, lawlessness, and terrorism. Let's make sure everyone is safe so that anybody can enjoy a peaceful future, not just in your province of Bukidnon but across the whole country),” she said.

The Vice-President was visiting Bukidnon, Davao's neighboring province, to convey President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos' message of gratitude for supporting the government's 8-Point Socioeconomic Agenda and witness how the seven tribes dedicate their bounty harvests to Magbabaya (deity) through ethnic dances.

In keeping with the theme, One Bukidnon: A Celebration of Unity in Cultural Diversity, the Higaonon, Talaandig, Manobo, Bukidnon, Matigsalug, Tigwahanon, and Umayamnon tribes’ skills in music, art, hand-weaving of mats and fabrics, wood carving, and traditional healing practices, among other wide range of skills based on their culture and traditions, many of which are unique to their communities, are featured.
