"This is to promote better teacher-pupil relationship and to support effective language teaching since seeing the teacher’s lips helps in the correct production of letter sounds. The DepEd is available for questions or clarifications regarding issuances such as this. I hope that in the future we check our facts and check the actual text of the Department Order before jumping to conclusions." 1. How can REMOVAL OF FACE VEIL be a determinant in promoting BETTER teacher-pupil relationship? There seems to be no problem (meron ba?) in ALIVE classes between NIQAABI teacher and pupils due to the ff reasons: a. the niqaabi and pupils for ALIVE classes are not ALIEN to each other; they share affinity by being MUSLIMS; b. Arabic Language can be and has been taught EFFECTIVELY in the past as much as in the present; the FACE VEIL is not A BARRIER towards EFFECTIVE teaching of Arabic language and Islamic Values Education; c. the face and lips do not make or break good relationship and rapport between teacher and learners: the eyes are expressive as much as the tone of voice is. Effective language teaching involves basically the VOICE as a MEDIUM transmitter to be received by a GOOD PAIR of EARS...PROOF: A BLIND pupil although he or she sees NOTHING AT ALL, neither the face nor the lips and teeth of the teacher, that BLIND pupil still learns because of his other perceptual skills and most of all--- he may have lost his eyes but he has acquired sharp sense of hearing. "...seeing the teacher’s lips helps in the correct production of letter sounds..." I DARE SAY that LISTENING ATTENTIVELY and CORRECTLY without BEING DISTRACTED of the QUALITY of the LIPS and TEETH or of the QUALITY of the face of the TEACHER helps in the correct pronunciation of letter sounds. ANYWAY, our topic is FEMALE TEACHER who WEARS FACE VEIL...she can be resourceful enough to teach "pronunciation" techniques by way of description: the position of tongue, teeth in producing certain sounds... or use interactive multimedia techniques. IF THAT IS THE CONCERN of the DepED Sec it can easily be resolved WITHOUT RESORTING to temporary removal of FACE VEIL while teaching in the classroom. SAME THING APPLIES TO THE GOOD DEPED SEC LUISTRO: "With all due respect and begging for his indulgence, WE hope that in the future DEPED SEC ARMIN LUISTRO FSC checks his facts and comprehension level on the import of the FACE VEIL before jumping/stamping heavily to any inconclusive DepED Order."

ZAMBOANGA CITY (Mindanao Examiner / July 23, 2013) – Umani ng batikos at ibat-ibang reaksyon ang kautusan ng Department of Education na ipitanggal ang mga hijab ng mga gurong Muslim sa loob ng silid-aralan sa mga publikong paaralan. Ang kautusan ay galing umano kay Education Secretary Armin Luistro at bahagi ng reporma ng naturang ahensya. Ngunit ngayon pa lamang ay umani na ng maraming pagbatikos ang kautusan ng Katolitkong si Lusitro na miyembro naman ng La Salle Brothers. Sa kopya ng kautusan na nakuha naman ng Agence France Press ay nakasaad umano na bagamat ipinaaalis ang paggamit ng hijab sa loob ng sili-aralan ay maaarin naman itong gamitin sa mga campus o compound ng mga paaralan. Reforms “Education Secretary Armin Luistro said the move was part of reforms to make schools more sensitive to religion. Muslim schoolgirls will still be allowed to wear the veil or "hijab" on campuses as well as "appropriate clothing" in gym class,” ayon pa sa ulat. mindanaoexaminer/news.php?news_id=20130723070604
