Congressman sonny angara biography

Secretary Juan Edgardo “Sonny” Angara officially took over the reins of the Department of Education (DepEd) on Thursday, succeeding Vice President Sara Duterte, who resigned from the agency last month.

In a symbolic gesture during the simple turnover ceremony held at the DepEd Complex in Pasig City, the Vice President handed over the DepEd Seal and Flag to Angara, marking the transition of leadership at the department.

We respect the decision of the DepEd Undersecretaries and Assistant Secretaries who tendered their courtesy resignations ahead of our assumption as Secretary of Education.

We eagerly anticipate taking on our new role this Friday.

Any appropriate appointments will be announced soon as we intend to hit the ground running and drive immediate progress.
