FACT CHECK: Sara Duterte camp belies viral claim on K to 12 change and mandatory military service without pay

A claim circulating on Facebook that Vice President-elect Sara Duterte will ask Congress to add two more years to the K to 12 Program and include two years of mandatory military service without pay is fake news.

“After my proclamation as Vice-President and immediate assumption as Secretary of the Department of Education, I will immediately asked the Congress to amend the K12 program to K14+ basic education program. ROTC will be again compulsary plus two years mandatory service in the AFP without salary. SA IKAKAUNLAD NG BAYAN, DISIPLINA NG KABATAAN ANG KAILANGAN.

President-elect Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos, Jr. had designated Duterte as the incoming secretary of the Department of Education last May 11. Marcos and Duterte are running mates in the May 9 general elections. “A quote card has been circulating in social media falsely attributing to Vice President-elect Sara Duterte remarks regarding a supposed proposal to amend the K to 12 program and the introduction of ROTC and mandatory service in the AFP ,” Frasco said in a statement released to reporters covering the Davao City Hall on June 2.
