Ventura Vega has been named the new Minister of Education following the resignation of Lucy Molinar. The appointment comes despite Vega’s previous implication in the “Red Devils” case, which concluded in 2025. Notably, the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office had previously requested the acquittal of all those involved in the case. This past legal entanglement has raised eyebrows regarding Vega’s suitability for the ministerial position. Details surrounding the “Red Devils” case remain unclear, but its resurfacing adds a layer of controversy to Vega’s appointment. The decision to appoint him has prompted questions about transparency and accountability within the government. Further scrutiny is expected regarding the circumstances of both the case and Vega’s selection.
