In the module, the creature ‘aswang’ was descrbied as, "Siya rin ay isang diyos pero ang Aswang ay pinaniniwalaan na ito'y tao na kumakain ng kapwa tao. Kung minsan ang mga ito ay pinapaniwalaan na may mga pakpak at sila raw ay gising kung gabi para maghanap ng makak*nt*t o maaswang."
Imagine?’Yong bata pinababasa natin ng ganyang kasamang salita,
Go expressed his disbelief during the hearing.
He added that the module contained a word that even he himself hasn’t seen anywhere like in a local tabloid, Tiktik.
The learning material was used by Grade 10 students in Central Luzon for their Filipino subject during the second grading period.
In response, Education Undersecretary Diosdado San Antonio said that the particular module mentioned by Calipjo-Go was among the learning materials already corrected by their office.
Ginawan na po ‘yan ng errata ng division office na concerned… Naglabas ang superintendent ng instruction na mali iyong nilalaman ng learning activity sheet na ito,
San Antonio said and added that he also wasn’t happy about this found error.
Another DepEd undersecretary, Tonisito Umali also expressed his disappointment about the module and said that those responsible for the error will be held accountable.
