"Dahil na rin po sa naging direktiba po ng Pangulo, agaran pong kumilos ang ating secretary, DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara, at ang sinasabing pong guro ay tinanggal na po bilang principal sa nasabing eskuwelahan (Because of the directive from the President, DepEd Secretary Angara acted immediately, and the teacher in question has been removed as principal of the said school)," she said.
