Press Release Gatchalian seeks probe on 'sagot for sale'; warns learners to bear brunt of scheme Senator Win Gatchalian called on the Department of Education (DepEd) to immediately probe reports of what he calls the "sagot for sale" scheme, where parents hire someone else to answer their children's self-learning modules. The lawmaker also warned parents that by engaging in this practice, their children will bear the brunt since their learning and development will be compromised no matter what time frame. In the latest public hearing, which tackled updates on Academic Year 2020-2021, Gatchalian referred to an earlier report by the Teachers' Dignity Coalition (TDC) which pointed to how struggling parents hire someone else---some of whom they find online---to answer their children's modules.
