DepED Order No. 49 a mere ‘reminder’ to properly observe civil service rules, says Poa
The controversial Department of Education (DepED) Order No. 49 s. 2022 has two goals: To depoliticize the department and promote professionalism among its personnel.
After gaining complaints from educators and the public alike, DepED Spokesperson Michael Poa, in a televised interview, clarified the goal of the department’s issuance of DO No. 49.
According to Poa, DO 49 is just a mere “reminder” to observe the “existing rules” as civil servants. Under the issuance, DepED personnel were mandated to treat colleagues and learners with the “highest degree of professionalism.”
“There’s no specific trigger in the issuance of the order. In fact, the DO refers to the Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards or what we call Republic Act 6713. We’re just issuing this order to remind DepED personnel in terms of professionalism and depoliticization ,” said Poa in an interview over CNN Philippines on Tuesday, Nov. 15.
Requests in most Philippine government agencies, according to Poa, are now being politicized and this specific scenario is what DepED is “avoiding” to happen.
Apart from serving their duties in “prompt,” “courteous,” and “fair” manner, educators were likewise told to “avoid relationships, interaction, and communication including following social media with learners” outside school setting.
“As civil servants, we have to be responsible social media,” said Poa, adding that teachers may still communicate with learners through social media “as long as it is within the school setting,” or is limited within the “student-teacher” relationship.
“We are just reminding them of their duty to also be professional teachers,” Poa added.
Earlier, the Alliance of Concerned Teachers (ACT) Philippines slammed this order, calling it “ironic” and “questionable,” since DepED greenlighted the use of social media platforms during the implementation of full distance learning amid the Covid-19 health crisis.
Poa, on the other hand, stressed that DepED is only “reminding” teachers not to “cross the line” or have “biases.”

When the COVID-19 health crisis struck, it resulted in millions of deaths and inflicted the global economy. Aside from drastic lifestyle changes, it affected children’s education, preventing them from experiencing the traditional school setting. However, with the help of technology, the Department of Education (DepEd) Philippines facilitated full distance learning, which allowed students to study at home. DepEd also approved social media utilization, allowing communication between educators and learners. That’s why the agency issued the DepEd Order 49 Series of 2022.
The controversial order puts a boundary on the relationship between students and teachers. It also emphasizes the responsible use of social media, preventing teachers from communicating and having relationships with their students outside the school premises. In addition, it encourages DepEd personnel to practice and treat their colleagues and students with professionalism. The DepEd Order 49 also prevents DepEd personnel from partaking in any political activities to ensure the fair provision of basic education programs and services.
What is the DepEd Order 49 Series of 2022: Promotion of Professionalism in the Implementation and Delivery of Basic Education Programs and Services
Signed by Vice President and Education Secretary Sara Duterte on November 2, the DepEd Order 49 Series of 2022, or the “ Promotion of Professionalism in the Implementation and Delivery of Basic Education Programs and Services” advocates efficient and effective DepEd programs and policies . It’s a revision of the DepEd Order 47 Series of 2022, which adds provisions on employment and personnel relations, including the responsible use of social media. The DepEd Order 49 aims to bolster the professionalism of personnel and incorporate it in all areas of practice and work within the department.
According to DepEd Spokesperson Michael Poa, its issuance mandates that DepEd personnel must treat learners and colleagues with the highest degree of professionalism. Furthermore, it aims to depoliticize the department, preventing its personnel from engaging in political activity, influence, or connection. But DepEd Order 49 only reminds personnel to observe proper and existing civil service rules. It also encourages teachers to raise concerns and issues about basic education through appropriate and formal methods without utilizing a third-party or political accommodation or intervention.
DepEd Order 49 is centered on the promotion of professionalism within the Department of Education (DepEd). The key objectives are as follows:
- Non-partisanship: DepEd officials and employees are discouraged from engaging in partisan activities, seeking endorsements or interventions from outside entities, or soliciting actions from politicians, unless explicitly allowed by law or partnership agreements.
- Upholding Professional Conduct: In line with the Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards for Public Officials and Employees, DepEd personnel are expected to exhibit the highest degree of professionalism, respect for others, and impartial decision-making. They should avoid any relationships or activities that could impair objective judgement or compromise the integrity of the Department.
- Prudent use of Social Media and Email: Employees must respect legal restrictions and department rules when using social media, being cautious not to spread false information or launch online attacks against colleagues. Also, DepEd email addresses should only be used for work-related activities, not personal social media accounts.
Non-compliance with these guidelines may result in the denial of requests or appeals within the Office of the Secretary.
Target Audience: Teachers & Education Personnel
DepEd Order 49, an amendment promoting professionalism and independence from political activities among educators, targets primarily the personnel of the Department of Education (DepEd) in the Philippines. To better understand its reach and implications, key points are outlined below:

DepEd clarifies order on teachers’ use of social media to air criticisms
(INQUIRER file photo / NIÑO JESUS ORBETA)
MANILA, Philippines — The Department of Education’s (DepEd) recent directive, which asks teachers and employees not to “disparage” the agency, does not seek to curtail their freedom of expression and speech but only to promote professionalism among their ranks.
DepEd spokesman Atty. Michael Poa on Monday said the recently issued Department Order No. 49 does not bar teachers and employees from airing criticisms and grievances on social media.
It, however, encourages DepEd employees to raise issues in the agency’s existing “machineries.”
“Kung may grievances, mayroon namang machineries na pwede naman nilang ipaalam sa DepEd. Kung criticism, constructive criticism, or hinaing lang, hindi naman bawal ‘yan,” he said in an interview over ABS CBN’s TeleRadyo.
(If they have grievances, we have existing machineries where they can raise their issues. Constructive criticisms are not prohibited.)
“Wala tayong layunin to infringe upon the freedom of expression. Sa atin, all those things under the DO 49 on professionalism are found under Civil Service rules,” Poa added.
(It is not our objective to infringe upon the freedom of expression. All those things under DO 49 are already found under Civil Service rules.)
Poa further clarified that DepEd is not curtailing its employees’ right to post on social media.
“We are not curtailing their right to post on social media. Ang sinasabi lang natin, bilang civil servants, we really should not disparage our employer, being the government or our department. Pero hindi ibig sabihin niyan that we don’t want to be criticized, ibang bagay naman talaga ‘yun,” he said.
(It doesn’t mean that we don’t want to be criticized. It’s another thing altogether.)
The DepEd official made the remarks after Alliance of Concerned Teachers (ACT) party-list Rep. France Castro slammed the DepEd’s order, saying it obstructs the exercise of basic human rights.
“Why does DepEd feel the need to create such an order that gags and threatens teachers and education support personnel, which treats them as mere creatures only of the school and dehumanizes them preventing them from exercising their right to free speech, expression, to organize and be able to voice out their grievances?” Castro asked.
Poa said the the DepEd is just reiterating and promoting professionalism among teachers and its employees.

DepEd: Order avoiding relationships between teachers, students doesn’t violate right to free speech
The Department of Education (DepEd) on Monday denied claims that the order mandating its personnel to avoid relationships and communication with learners outside of the school setting violates the right to free speech.
In a press conference, DepEd spokesperson Atty. Michael Poa said Department Order (DO) 49 , a set of policies recently released to promote professionalism in the delivery of basic education programs, is only a reiteration of the Code to Conduct for civil servants, which includes public school teachers.
“DO 49 seeks to, number one, depoliticize ‘yung DepEd, number two…seeks to promote professionalism within our ranks. So hindi lang teachers ‘yan, pati rin po DepEd personnel,” he said.
“Sa aming pananaw (in our view), there is no infringement of any basic rights such as freedom of expression, freedom of speech, specifically with telling them not to go to politicians para po maiparating ‘yung kanilang concerns (to express their concerns),” he added.
Poa was referring to a policy of the DO which states that employees should “refrain from requesting or obtaining support or endorsement from any third party in the hiring, transfer, promotion, removal, or any other personnel movement.”
They should also “raise issues and concerns regarding basic education via formal and appropriate DepEd channels, either directly to the Office of the Secretary or through the concerned Assistant Secretary or Undersecretary, without resorting to any political or third-party intervention or accommodation.”
The DO, however, raised concerns among several groups, with House Deputy Minority Leader France Castro of ACT party-list on Friday, saying it was tantamount to violating the freedom of speech of teachers and school personnel.
She mentioned that Republic Act 6713 or the Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards for Public Officials and Employees and Republic Act 7836 or the Philippine Teachers Professionalization Act of 1994 are in place to guide teachers on how they should conduct themselves.
As to the use of social media for communication purposes, Poa said that it is not considered “outside of school setting” as long as class matters are being discussed.
“Ano ba ang gusto nating madiscourage dito? ‘Yung nagiging very personal na ‘yung relationship between the teacher and the learner. I don't think that's unnatural…because there has to be a line, that’s why we’re promoting professionalism,” he said.
(We want to discourage the teachers and learners from getting into a very personal relationship.)
“There has to be a line between the teacher and the learner, but we're not discouraging the use of social media for classroom instruction and that's why the word or the phrase ‘outside the school setting’ must be emphasized,” he added.
Poa also said that there is no order for teachers to unfollow or unfriend their students on social media yet. —AOL, GMA Integrated News

Rappler.com
MANILA, Philippines – Vice President and Education Secretary Sara Duterte reminded the teaching and non-teaching staff of the Department of Education (DepEd) to “avoid relationships, interaction, and communication,” including following students on social media, “outside school setting.”
This was contained in DepEd order No. 49 released on Wednesday, November 2. The order was titled, “Promotion of Professionalism in the Implementation and Delivery of Basic Education Programs and Services.”
In a text message to Rappler on Friday, November 4, DepEd Spokesman Michael Poa said that “outside school setting” means that it’s the use of “social media that is not intended for learning or instruction of the class.”
Poa made the clarification to clear up any confusion with the order in the context of teachers who use social media as an extension of classrooms for blended learning.
In the past months, the DepEd, particularly teachers involved in allegedly sexually abusing students, made headlines after students came forward with their experiences. The victims provided social media posts and conversations as proof of teachers grooming or ogling students.
Teachers told: Don’t complain on social media
In DepEd Order No. 49, Duterte also reminded teachers and non-teaching staff to “not unduly post online attacks against fellow DepEd employees.”
The Vice President reminded the employees to “always be mindful of the reputation and honor of the organization,” adding that they should raise issues and concerns on basic education through “formal and appropriate channels…without resorting to any political or third-party intervention or accommodation.”
But the Alliance of Concerned Teachers (ACT) said that it would be “unprofessional for the secretary to refuse to act on or consider issues and concerns on basic education, however legitimate they may be, merely because the matter has been raised [through] a third party.”
“In the guise of promoting professionalism, parts of the memo actually threatens the freedom of expression and right to redress of grievances of DepEd personnel,” ACT chairperson Vlad Quetua said in a statement. – Rappler.com

School teachers don’t have to be friends on social media with their students unless the tutor and pupil are already relatives, the Department of Education ordered recently.
Through Department Order No. 49 series of 2022 released on Wednesday, DepEd told its officials and employees to exercise caution in using Facebook and other online platforms and refrain from “following social media with learners” unless they are family members or are related.
The order was issued to promote professionalism in the delivery of basic education programs and services. It stressed the provisions of the current Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards for Public Officialsand Employees and reminded department workers to always adhere to “acceptable norms of conduct and relations in DepEd.”
This includes avoiding “relationships, interaction, and communication, including following social media with learners outside of school setting,” the order dated Nov. 2 emphasized.
In explaining the order, Vice President and Education Secretary Sara Duterte-Carpio said the friendship between teachers and students should stay within a school setting and not extend outside the campus.
Both teaching and non-teaching personnel of the DepEd must relearn and emphasize what she called “professionalism,” the VP added.
“As a teacher, there should be a line between him or her and the learner. They should not have friendly relations with their learners outside of the learning institution setting because a bias will be created for a person who is friends with someone. Of course, relationships have their own problems,” Duterte-Carpio said.
The new order amends DepEd Order No. 47, or the Promotion of Professionalism in the Implementation and Delivery of Basic Education Programs and Services.
Meanwhile, amid its five-day in-person classes mandate for all public schools nationwide, the DepEd has allowed public schools with “exceptional circumstances” to proceed with blended learning.
Under DepEd Order No. 50 series of 2022, dated Nov. 3 and signed by Duterte-Carpio, public schools that are unable to comply with the mandated five-day in-person classes “due to exceptional circumstances” must submit their request for continuation of blended learning beyond Nov. 2.
DepEd earlier said at least 261 schools sustained damage from Tropical Storm Paeng.
“Nonetheless, schools can continue to implement the blended learning modality during the pendency of the request,” the order read.
“The approving authority for the implementation of blended learning modality in select public elementary and secondary schools beyond Nov. 2, 2O22 shall be the schools division superintendent (SDS), whose decision shall be subject to review by the regional director (RD),” it added.
Circumstances to allow blended learning to continue include the delay in the construction of school facilities, immediate need for relocation of the school, shortage of basic education resources, “unfavorable” peace and order situation, and use of classrooms as temporary evacuation centers.
The Education chief cited recent “incidents” when DepEd personnel were involved in criminal activities or became victims of crime.
“Some teachers go out with their students, and they’re involved in, should we say, criminal, not really criminal activities, but they are involved in crime. It’s either they become suspects or victims,” she explained.
“In one case, we had a teacher having a drinking spree with a student, who stabbed him. So, these are instances that are preventable if our teaching and non-teaching staff recognize there should be a line not crossed.”
On a sexual harassment case in Cavite, Duterte said a preventive suspension was imposed on teachers involved, while students were assisted in the legal process.
DepEd officials and employees are also told to refrain from engaging in any relationship or activity that may affect their ability to “make objective decisions” in their performance of duty.
They should also respect the rights of others and avoid any activity that is not in accordance with the “law, good morals, good customs, public policy, public order, public safety, and public interest.”
The department said it expects all personnel to always treat and approach their colleagues, employees, and learners with the “highest degree of professionalism, skills, and excellence.”
The new order also states that Education employees and officials should always consider the legal implications of what they post on social media and should not take part in spreading rumors or false information.
Additionally, they shall not make online attacks against their fellow employees, nor “disparage” DepEd, and must always consider the reputation and honor of the education department.
The order said that official DepEd email addresses should only be used for work-related engagements and never for personal social media accounts, profiles, and other activities.
The new DO also underscores the reminder to never engage in partisan activities, including “seeking endorsements, recommendations, contributions, support, consideration, political accommodation, or any intervention from other government personnel or similar entities outside DepEd.”
DepEd also prohibits “soliciting favorable actions from politicians” and “requesting or obtaining support or endorsement from any third party in the hiring, transfer, promotion, removal or any other personnel movement.”
In raising issues or concerns regarding basic education, DepEd told employees and officials that these should be directed to the formal and appropriate DepEd channels, including the Office of the Secretary, or through the concerned Assistant Secretary and Undersecretary, without resorting to invention from any third party.
