Aside from the announcement, Duterte also shared his thoughts on Kto12.

“Itong Kto12, ayaw ko nito but after it was explained to me by an education expert. I kind of really wavered in it. Nag-vacillate ako dito but let me come up with a clear decision on the matter maybe some time before…give me until the end of the month. I want to talk to the new…the prospective Secretary of Education.”
