“Siya rin ay isang diyos pero ang Aswang ay pinaniniwalaan na ito’y tao na kumakain ng kapwa tao, kung minsan ang mga ito ay pinapaniwalaan na may mga pakpak at sila raw ay gising kung gabi para maghanap ng *expletive* or maaswang,” the module said.

Go also pointed other errors in the learning modules.

San Antonio said that the inclusion of this vulgar word is unacceptable.

“One topic I’m particular about is ‘yung unknown sources. How did it happen? ‘Di ba nakakatakot ‘yan, nakakalusot ‘yan and hindi niyo alam saan nanggaling,” AAMBIS-OWA Representative Sharon Garin said. (TDT)
