MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Malaca\u00f1ang on Monday said the Department of Education (DepEd) may have only been referring to minors in a portion of one of its alleged self-learning modules which discouraged children from joining peaceful assemblies.<\/p>\n

In a Palace press briefing, Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque raised the possibility that the DepEd was only looking out for minors after the Commission on Human Rights expressed concern over the module\u2019s content.<\/p>\n

\u201cAng initial<\/em>\u00a0reaction\u00a0ko<\/em>\u00a0(My initial reaction) is we defer to the DepEd.\u00a0Pero<\/em>\u00a0remember,\u00a0ang<\/em>\u00a0DepEd\u00a0naman po ang<\/em>\u00a0supervision\u00a0niya<\/em>\u00a0elementary and high school. So\u00a0siguro ang sinasabi lang ng<\/em>\u00a0DepEd\u00a0yung mga<\/em>\u00a0elementary and high school\u00a0siguro huwag muna umattend ng<\/em>\u00a0rallies (But remember, the supervision of DepEd are elementary and high school. So perhaps the DepEd is only discouraging elementary and high school students from attending rallies),\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He said the module might have never been meant for tertiary level students in colleges and universities.<\/p>\n

\u201cHindi naman po ito para sa matatanda nang mga estudyante, ito po ay para sa mga bata<\/em>\u00a0(This was not meant for adult students, it was meant for children),\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Roque, however, said the DepEd is still in the \u201cbetter position\u201d to address the CHR\u2019s concerns.<\/p>\n

He also explained that the Bill of Rights provides for freedom of speech, of expression, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble and petition the government for redress of grievances.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s already in the Bill of Rights and of course\u00a0ang pinag-iingatan lang natin e yung mga wala pang sapat na pag-iisip, yung mga menor de edad at mga bata<\/em>\u00a0(we\u2019re only looking after those whose thinking is not yet fully developed, minors and children),\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

In a statement on Saturday, CHR Spokesperson Jacqueline Ann de Guia emphasized the importance of developing critical thinking among children especially when it comes to national issues.<\/p>\n

“While respect for the law is a good value to teach, it is equally important to develop among our children critical thinking, especially when it comes to issues that affect us, not only personally, but as well as those national in scope,” de Guia said.<\/p>\n

She said love for one\u2019s country should not be limited to \u201cmere obedience\u201d, but also through collectively tackling issues of the communities and the country.<\/p>\n

In particular, the CHR was referring to an activity in the DepEd Module on Media and Information Literacy for Grade 12 students. One of the guide questions was: \u201cIf given the chance, will you join this rally? Why or why not?\u201d<\/p>\n

The answer, as written on the module, was: \u201cNo, because the government is really doing their best for all the Filipino people and their constituents.\u201d<\/p>\n

David Waya, a member of Rise for Education-Cagayan Valley, a regional organization which calls for safe and quality education for all uploaded the copy of the module on his Facebook account.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
