Manila 3rd district Rep. Joel Chua says it's time to "undo the damage" that Vice President Sara Duterte allegedly caused during her tenure as Department of Education (DepEd) secretary. 

"It is now time to unravel the havoc she has caused in DepEd. It is time to undo the damage she has inflicted upon teachers, schools, and students," Chua said on his social media following reports Wednesday, June 19 that Vice President Sara Duterte had tendered her resignation as DepEd chief. 

"It is time to unmask the appointments made in DepEd in aid of the 2028 elections," Chua said. 

"The Matatag curriculum should be put on hold. All politically-motivated bullying and brainwashing in DepEd must stop now," added the lawmaker from Manila, who didn't give specifics in his post.

As for the political implications of the Vice President's resignation from the Marcos Cabinet, Chua has suggested that the so-called administration "UniTeam" is over. 

"Vice President Sara Z. Duterte has finally realized she has been maintaining a false facade of unity with the administration of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.," he said. 

"Judging by her own words that the UniTeam was for election purposes only, that false facade has been there since June 2022. Since June 2022, we have had an education secretary who was living a lie, perpetuating a lie," Chua further said.
