‘Yung K-12, nakapakahalaga po niyan. May kontrobersiya po diyan, pero tayo sinabi natin mahirap man ito, ito yung tama. Bakit? Sa buong mundo, tatatlong bansa na lang ang 10 taon ang basic education. Isa tayo doon. All other countries are already in 12 years of basic education. Tayo 10 taon: six years of elementary, four years of high school, that’s 10. Kaya 10 years lang ang basic natin.

Why do we still have to talk about honesty when we are talking about leaders? Di ba dapat, given ito? Di ba dapat, nandiyan na agad ‘yan ‘pag pinag-uusapan natin ang ating mga leaders? Hindi nagtatago. Hindi nag-o-obfuscate. Hindi niloloko ang mga kababayan natin? Di ba dapat automatic na ang isang pinuno ang kanyang honesty at ang kanyang transparency?

If the president flew (to attend the sortie), she just tagged along with him,” he added.
