MANILA, Philippines — An image of a supposed Department of Education module asking students to interview someone from the Spanish colonial era is not a DepEd release and did not go through the department's quality checks, it said in a statement in response to posts on social media.

Philstar.com erroneously attributed the supposed module to the Department of Education. That story has been corrected and editorial staff will tighten protocols to avoid similar errors in the future.  

"Upon verification by the DepEd Error Watch, it was found that the material in question was not developed nor quality-assured by the Department or any DepEd office," the Department of Education said.
