Nagpahayag si Senador Risa Hontiveros tungkol sa umano’y kautusang papalitan ang “Diktadurang Marcos” sa “diktadura” na lamang sa bagong kurikulum na balak ipatupad ng Department of Education (DepEd).

“My position has not changed over the years — memory and truth-telling are the cornerstones of justice. An accurate historical record is a guide to a better future,” saad ni Hontiveros nitong Martes, Setyembre 12.

“May mga bagay na ‘di dapat pinapayagan ang rebranding,” dagdag pa niya.

Matatandaang kinumpirma ng DepEd ang kumakalat ng memo sa social media hinggil sa pagpapalit ng “Diktadurang Marcos” sa “diktadura” na lamang.

"I confirm that indeed there was a letter that was sent to the Office of Undersecretary for Curriculum and Teaching. This was made by our Bureau of Curriculum Development (BCD) specialist. This was submitted to my office and forwarded to the Office of Undersecretary for Curriculum and Teaching," saad ni DepEd Bureau of Curriculum and Teaching director Joyce Andaya.

"That's part of our internal processes. Our BCD specialist can really express themselves, and we respect their stand on curricular issues,” dagdag pa niya.
