‘We declare our victory over COVID-19, the destroyer of our lives, economy, way of life, and society,’ says Education Secretary Leonor Briones
MANILA–As over 24 million Filipino students started classes again on Monday, October 5, Education Secretary Leonor Briones claimed victory against the raging coronavirus pandemic, which has so far infected 322,000 people in the Philippines.
“Today we celebrate a great victory. We declare our victory over COVID-19, the destroyer of our lives, economy, way of life, and society,” Briones said during the Department of Education’s (DepEd) school opening program.
Following President Rodrigo Duterte’s directive for schools to delay face-to-face classes until a coronavirus vaccine becomes available, the DepEd has shifted to distance learning.
