Hindi sumang-ayon si Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte na ipatupad na ang face-to-face classes hanggang hindi pa nababakunahan ang lahat ng Pilipino laban sa COVID-19.
Sa weekly address ni P-Duterte, aniya, hindi pa ito ang panahon para ibalik ang face-fo-face classes.
Saad ni P-Duterte, "In the last meeting, Carlos Dominguez III, the Secretary of Finance, said clearly that we have the money already reserved for the vaccines and it's there, and we can buy as many vaccines as required, maski na sumobra, mas mabuti ngang sumobra kaysa magkulang.”
Aniya pa kay Education Secretary Leonor Briones, "Dito sa face-to-face, I think I am not inclined to agree with you. I'm sorry but, mahirap.
“I cannot gamble on the health of the children."
Sumang-ayon din naman si Briones sa desisyon ng pangulo at aniya, "This time again, always, we try to keep ourselves prepared, just in case, if things get better, if the numbers are flattened, and if there is more hope, then if you say open the schools, we will open the schools.”
