Gatchalian pointed out discrepancies in the Department of Education’s 2018 Department Order No. 31 on implementing CSE, and its legal basis, the Reproductive Health Law. While the RH Law provides teaching age-appropriate sexuality education to adolescent children , the DO says it applies to all learners.
“And I suggest you clarify it, as in my opinion, if there’s confusion, let’s suspend it,” said Gatchalian. “In the curriculum that I have, Mr. Chair, I didn’t see those things… Perhaps these are presentations by the resource speakers about some of the framework of how CSE is to be implemented, but in the final documents that we have, those are not in there,” said DepEd Assistant Secretary Janir Datukan.
Gatchalian also gave anecdotes of consulting teachers in his home turf Valenzuela, who gave mixed answers about implementing CSE. Sereno maintained these points, even though Hontiveros took the opportunity at the beginning of the hearing to set the record straight with the DepEd. Asked if CSE will teach inappropriate concepts to children and water down parents’ role in guiding their children about information on sex, Datukan said, “But Sereno said CSE is a “brand” that always integrates the Unesco and WHO documents.
