Burat: Textbook learnings for make benefit glorious nation of Philippines

_{I am asking the help of all concerned citizens to help me form a group of sincere and dedicated individuals who will see to it that the errors are striken off these books. I invite volunteers from the academe, the clergy, civil societies, business and industry. The group, once constituted, must be given blanket authority to conduct a free and open review of all public school textbooks, without fear of harm or injury to their persons or their properties. The group must be assured of complete immunity from lawsuit. The DEPED must promise — publicly — to implement the corrections (perhaps, in the first year, in the form of correction pamphlets or notes). The DEPED must likewise promise — publicly — to adopt a system which will make the process of textbook evaluation and selection entirely transparent, democratic and accountable. When these conditions shall have been met, then and only then will I sit down with the group, identify the books, point out the errors and provide the corrections. I will not collect a single cent.}
