MANILA, Philippines — Outgoing Education Secretary and Vice President Sara Duterte on Monday told campus journalists to “never print, post or circulate” anything that “is not the truth.”
Duterte gave the reminder to participants of this year’s National Schools Press Conference (NSPC) at a kick-off ceremony in Carcar City, Cebu.
“Never print or post or circulate something that you know is not the truth,” Duterte said in her opening remarks.
“Huwag ninyong gawin na sirain ang buhay ng ibang tao, sirain ang imahe ng iba’t ibang organisasyon o ng mga tao sa alam niyong hindi totoo. Never assume, and don’t lie sa inyong trabaho,” she added.
(Do not destroy other people’s lives, destroy the image of various organizations or people for what you know is not true. Never assume, and don’t lie in your work.)
