MANILA, Philippines — The Alliance of Concerned Teachers raised alarm over a module that called the Martial Law period under late strongman Ferdinand Marcos Sr. the “period of the New Society.”

 

In a statement on Thursday, ACT Philippines noted that the module was being used in a school in Marinduque as well as in other areas such as Iloilo and Quezon City. 

 

“Magbabantay tayo sa mga ginagawang rebisyon sa kurikulum ng edukasyon ngayon at ipaglalaban na matiyak ang pagtuturo ng kasaysayan na nakabatay sa katotohanan, pagkamakabayan at pagpapahalaga sa kultura,” ACT Spokesperson Rizza Bantillian said.

 

(We should keep watch of the revisions on the current educational curriculum and fight to ensure that teaching history will still be based on facts, nationalism, and putting culture at the forefront.)
