According to data the Department of Education presented to the Senate on Wednesday, August 12, 2020, the printing of modules in 132 of the 214 districts are still less than 50 percent.

But senators were not convinced and criticized the DepEd for not even preparing the implementing rules for Republic Act No. 11480, which allows classes to start even beyond the Aug. 24 deadline set by RA 7797. Tolentino noted that the deadline for the implementing rules was set for Aug. 19 and he said he had yet to hear of any public consultation with parents and teachers.

“Here in Valenzuela, they no longer distribute because they are afraid,” he said. “Can we really distribute the self-learning modules [in five days]?”But DepEd officials insisted that 10 areas reflect the department’s readiness: Davao de Oro, Dinagat Islands, Marinduque, Abra, Sarangani, Cagayan, Rizal, Navotas, Santiago City and Tagum City.
