CASTRO: “NO NEED TO APOLOGIZE” OVER TEACHERS REMARKS
Communications Undersecretary Claire Castro said she will not apologize over her recent remarks regarding the role of teachers in guiding students.
According to Castro, her statements were taken out of context. She stressed that she never blamed teachers for the deadly school shooting incident in Zamboanga City.
Castro explained that her remarks were meant to highlight the important role of teachers in helping guide and shape the behavior of students. She added that those who allegedly gave her statements the “wrong context” should be the ones to apologize.
