Zamora, Davao de Oro Rep. and sponsor of DepEd’s 2023 and 2024 budget, said she fought hard to approve the agency’s budget with virtually no revisions.
“As the sponsor of the DepEd budget, I fought hard for the past two years to have the budget approved with minimal revisions, but its implementation was handled solely by the Department,” Zamora said.
Duterte previously claimed that she had tried to make changes to DepEd's priorities but received no support.
