DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara on Wednesday urged political groups and critics to maintain respect in public discourse, warning against involving the deceased in political attacks.
He emphasized that while personal criticisms are part of politics, using the names of those who cannot defend themselves is unacceptable.
Angara’s remarks come amid heightened debates on education policies and political exchanges, though he did not name specific individuals.
The call for civility received support on social media, with netizens stressing responsible discourse and condemning the exploitation of deceased figures for political gain.
Angara also denied any involvement in the ongoing flood control controversy, calling allegations against him mere hearsay with no formal complaints or evidence linking him to wrongdoing.
