Lawmakers on Monday, June 14 grilled Department of Education officials for their alleged refusal to comply with the law that withdrew from the department the responsibility of procuring and developing

books.

DepEd Undersecretary Tonisito Umali admitted that the department has not yet identified the culprit behind the publication of a student learning module that contained a vulgar word in Mabalacat, Pampanga. The issue was raised during the congressional inquiry by Antonio Calipjo Go who said that four parents from Mabalacat brought him copies of the questioned SLM that their children were made to answer.

Marcoleta pointed out that under Republic Act 8047 or the “Book Publishing Industry Development Act”, the responsibility to procure and publish books have been removed from DepEd and given to the National Book Development Board.
