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.

- ENGLISH BOOK – I
— Jose Garcia Villa wrote the story “Woman With Two Navels.” — Birds hate being stared at by people. Quails stay together in groups called convey. They sleep in circle. If one quail notices something unusual, the whole convey flies away. The lizard raised its throat to achieve an impressive display. Koala swims impressively. — A high lighthouse sent the captain a clue. — Stop playing in your computer now. — Be in the peak of health. — He could think fast of a poem to write. — Even “Help!” was never shouted by anyone. — The Philippines has enough rain almost equally distributed throughout the year. The typhoon is moving in a northeasternly direction. — Around the pool is an orientally-designed porch. — Your parents don’t want me around hanging with you. — I have seen some orchids in our neighbor’s botanical gardens. — Playing is one of her hobbies. — Politics, which takes much time, concerns with the affairs of government. — Fishing means catching all kinds of living animals in the water like oysters and clams. Fish and other animals are the greatest food resources. Most people in fishing countries of the world are fishers. Would you compare fishing with politics, mathematics or aeronautics? — Some plants are self-planters. They plant their own seeds. — Life is the fast rising of the sun that shines on the earth which goes around it fast. Life is the late realization that life is gone and we discover it late.

Patawad sa nabigo kong kabataan!! ADIOS!!!
The Rain of Error in Philippine Textbooks (a reaction to a July 9 PDI full-page ad):
Authors Lalunio, Ril, and Villafuerte of “Hiyas sa Pagbasa 5” fame would have been wiser (or would have possessed enough brains) to include in their book the word KUPAL (smegma preputii, the medical term for the white, creamy material underneath the foreskin of the penis) and the words SUPOT (foreskin or the prepuce – the skin covering the head of the penis or the glans penis) and SUPÓT (uncircumcised) along with the word TITI.
It is in the age group of the Grade Fivers* that boys get to be enlightened that in an uncircumcised penis there could be an accumulation of considerable amount of smegma around the head or the glans of the penis. This accumulation may lead to irritation in the area and possibly may give rise to infection. Effective cleansing of the area…if ever the prepuce can already be pushed back to expose the glans (TAGPOS, an additional word for the book) or if already circumcised (TULÍ, another potential word that can be added)…has to be inculcated in the young minds not only to prevent infections but also to avoid penile cancer later in life.
TITI may be abominable to some (esp. to Mr. Antonio Calipjo Go) if considered alone but alongside KUPAL and SUPOT or SUPÓT, the seemingly objectionable word may prove to be relevant after all because…

*most Filipino boys aged around 11 years are subjected to circumcisions
“Pe_pe_* and Pilar” is now being printed.

*letter “K” was obviously dropped to appease the faint-hearted
“Hindi makakalimutan ng mga Pilipino ang katagang ‘I shall return’ ni MacArthur. Isinakatuparan niya ito hanggang sa tuluyan na nila tayong masakop.”
This one should be left as it is, since it is entirely true.
sana,hidi sa eskuwela natututunan yang mga salitang labas na yan…(sa umpisa pa lang,,alam na natin yang mga salitang yan,,..
bakit pa ilalagay sa usang libro na maaaring maka apekto sa iba pang mga generasyon..,,???
in short..**(((((tama si Mr. Go)))))

im not bias hUh!!!
go sir GO ur the best !!
ang gusto lang ipahayag ni sir go ay kailangan baguhin ang mga kamalian ng tao ..
offensive yang mga salitang yan .. at di dapat ituro sa eskwelahan..
im a student from MSQC
i have a friend who works for the company which published the said books. i feel for her, as a friend but mr. go has a point.
Dear Mr. Go.
I’m sure that those writers wouldn’t have caused those errors intentionally (or did they?).
Pano nila magagawa yun eh may mga MASTERAL Degrees and yung iba eh may Ph.D. pa? wahahhaha!!!
(Baka naman naka “juts/ganja/jongkie” nung sinulat yung libro. Alam nyo naman di tayo nakakasigurado…with drugs nowadays, you can never tell!)
blackbox
Isang maalab na pagbati sa inyo Mr.Go mula sa isang Punong Guro sa Antipolo.
Taon-taon nalang problema yang mga librong yan. Nasasayang ang oras ko sa paghahanap ng mga mahusay na libro, yung walang spelling, grammatical and factual errors…
NAKAKALUNGKOT: ang ibang sumulat ng mga librong iyan ay may Masteral Degrees, pero may mga kamaliaan parin…
MAS NAKAKALUNGKOT: ang ibang mga pumayag na gamitin ang mga librong iyan sa DepEd ay meron ding Masteral Degrees and/or Ph.D.!!!
Hindi ito mangyayari kung ginagawa ng mga kinauukulang opisyal sa DepEd ang trabaho nila… Kung hindi nyo kaya ang trabaho dyan, mag-resign na kayo! NAKAKASIRA KAYO SA DEPED, at sayang ang binabayad namin na buwis taon-taon!!!! SAYANG!!!
Kung may delikadesa kayo, magbitiw na kayo sa tungkulin (matuto kayo sa mga Hapon). Yung mga nagdemanda kay Mr.Go, i-urong nyo na yan, mapapahiya lang kayo!
Concerned publishers, you owe Mr.Go a sincere public apology, NOW! You also owe the parents a refund for your blatantly defective book ASAP. Para kayong mga mandurugas na tindera sa palengke, nagbebenta ng kulang sa timbang!
Sumasainyo

Mr. Go has some valid points, all right, but the word TITI is NOT abominable. As long as it is used appropriately, we should not make any connotation that would only negate the word. This blogger, Nutty (http://planetofthenuts.blogspot.com), has a nice input about this.
I don’t know about DepEd textbooks, but surely, there is no “perfect,” zero-error book. Most of them contain typo error, spelling mistakes, etc, and some important facts may be overlooked unintentionally. I know of Go’s noble intention of putting the quality of Philippin education first, but there’s a lot to it than just criticizing DepEd.
Maalab na pagbati!
Para sa akin, ang kabataan sa bagong sibol ay unang natututo sa loob ng bahay. Idilat nyo ang inyong mga mata sa inyong kapaligiran. Magmasid kayo sa mga kabataan. Lahat ba sila ay nakakabasa ng librong sinasabi nyong maraming kamalian? Bakit maraming kabataan ngayon ang nalululong sa droga, gumagawa ng karahasan sa murang edad pa lang. Makinig kayo ng radyo, makakarinig ka ng “MURA”. Manood ka ng TV, makakakita ka ng sumasayaw na maiksi ang damit o kaya batang humihigop ng noodles sa mangkok imbes na gumamit ng kutsara. Napagawi na ba kayo sa kanto ng West ave. cor EDSA? May malaking billboard doon na nagpapakita ng katawan ng Babae na nakabikini. Ang mga halimbaang ito ay lantaran mismo sa mga mata ng kabataan. May ginagawa ba ang mga kinauukulan? WALA. Lantaran ang pagnanakaw ng ating mga politiko. May nagagawa ba ang mga kinauukulan? WALA. Kaya tama na ang publisidad. Bago tayo magwalis ng ibang bakuran, bakuran muna ng bawat isa ang ating walisan. KAPAYAPAAN SA LAHAT.
i agree with angelo and anthony! ‘wag tayong magsalita na para bang tayo ay di nagkakamali. TAMA NA ANG SISIHAN, BATUHAN NG KOMENTO AT PUBLISIDAD! MAGSIMULA NA TAYO … SA ATING MGA SARILI MUNA. good luck & may God bless and guide us all!
bakit naman “objectionable” ang “titi”?
kung hindi yun ang itatawag mo dun, ano? tarugo? uten?
ano bang pwede nating itawag sa PENIS na hindi magiging bastos?
meron ba? o likas lang na malikot ang mga isip ng karamihan?
ang say ko lang dito:
“WALANG PERPEKTONG AKLAT. bawat pares nang matang titingin dito ay may makikitang mali. ngunit kung tunay tayong TEXTBOOK CRUSADERS, ipapaalam lang natin sa mga PUBLISHERS ang kanilang mga pagkakamali sa isang aklat nang buong puso at walang anupamang kapalit…”
words “titi”, “bulbol” or “burat” although naturally a part of our language and should not be tainted with malice should remain where it ought to — at home. saying “titi” or “bulbol” in the context of the classroom, much less, a book where everything is in black and white, is like saying it’s okay to say them anywhere and anytime. sometimes, it helps for those who understand better to draw the line between what’s tasteful and tacky. obviously makulit goes for the latter.
it would be better for the ignoramus to keep to themselves their opinions especially if they do not see the big picture. of course, Mr. Go went to do the first and most important thing of all which is to inform the publication company in question. Mr. Go only comes out with an expose if the said publisher did not do anything about the complaint. and don’t talk about bagong sibol ek ek crap of thinking “titi” “bulbol” or “burat” isn’t something you’d want to talk about around your mother or your boss or your principal. I do hope you know what you’re saying because clearly you are obviously thinking with your “titi” and not your “utak”.
