00:00 Vice President and Education Secretary Sara Duterte, who once punched a sheriff,
00:05 advises teachers to pause whenever their emotions get in the way of teaching.
00:09 Duterte makes the statement when asked about her reaction to a viral video of a teacher
00:13 berating her students live on TikTok. She says her first reaction was, "The teacher is just a human,
00:19 and we all reach a point when we get angry, especially when frustrated."
00:23 She adds, "No penalties were imposed on the teacher,
00:26 but she asked the regional director concerned to reprimand her."
00:29 The education department earlier said it issued a show-cause order to the erring teacher.
00:33 Duterte also says teachers are trained for psychosocial support and students who
00:37 are anxious and stressed about the incident will undergo debriefing sessions.
