Education is a right, and Filipinos must demand for it - PBBM

Recognizing the need for the Philippines to catch up in many areas of education—from the shortage of classrooms to the overall quality of learning—President Marcos reminded Filipinos that education is a right, and that they have every reason to demand it.

Instilling this mindset in both the people and the government is what Marcos wants to achieve so that even after his administration ends, the people will know what they must rightfully expect and ask from their leaders.

"Education is one of those things that I hope we can get started in such a way na kahit wala na ako dito, kahit nawala na kami dito (when we are no longer here), my administration is no longer here, that this will continue...masanay ang tao (the people get used to it) so that it becomes a right. And if it is taken away from you, you can demand for it to be brought back," Marcos said in the last part of his podcast where he was interviewed by three college students.
