THE DEPARTMENT of Education has warned the public about a circulating social media post falsely claiming that classes are suspended every Thursday and Friday.

In a statement, DepEd clarified that the information is fake and urged the public to remain vigilant and critical when encountering online content.

“Mga Ka-DepEd, fake news ang kumakalat na post sa social media tungkol sa umano’y suspensyon ng klase tuwing Huwebes at Biyernes,” the agency said.

DepEd reminded the public to be cautious about unverified posts and to avoid supporting pages that spread misinformation.

“Muling pinaaalalahanan ng Department of Education ang publiko na maging mapanuri sa mga impormasyong nakikita online. Huwag i-follow ang mga page na nagpapakalat ng maling impormasyon at agad itong i-report,” it added.

The agency also advised the public to rely only on official communication channels for verified announcements and updates related to basic education.

“Para sa tama at opisyal na anunsiyo tungkol sa basic education, sumangguni lamang sa official DepEd Philippines social media accounts,” DepEd said.
