The Department of Education wishes to address the recirculating April 2023 PTV News report regarding the proposed merger of Araling Panlipunan and MAPEH into "SIKAP."

We clarify that this news item reflects outdated discussions from 2023 and does not represent current policy. Furthermore, under the revised K to 10 Curriculum, Makabansa is a distinct, foundational learning area for Key Stage 1 (Grades 1 to 3)—it is NOT a combination or merger of Araling Panlipunan and MAPEH. Rather, it uses a holistic, transdisciplinary approach to foster self-awareness, cultural appreciation, and civic understanding in young learners. Starting in Grade 4, Araling Panlipunan and MAPEH (Music & Arts, PE & Health) continue to be taught as separate and distinct learning areas.

We urge the public to practice critical thinking, check context, and verify release dates before sharing content online.

Paalala, Ka-DepEd! 📢

Mahigpit na ipinagbabawal ang paggamit ng ATM payroll card bilang collateral sa loan.

May pinagdaraanan o concern tungkol sa kaligtasan? Hindi mo kailangang harapin ito nang mag-isa.

Sa Learners TeleSafe Contact Center Helpline, mas madaling makahingi ng tulong ang mga mag-aaral at magulang. Pinalalakas din ng DepEd ang counseling, tamang referral, at propesyonal na tulong, katuwang ang National Center for Mental Health.

May malalapitan ka. May makikinig. At may handang tumulong.
