A) Teachers are required to maintain discipline in the school
B) Teachers must instill patriotism and nationalism among students
C) Teachers are allowed to engage in partisan political activities
D) Teachers must be loyal to the Republic of the Philippines

Answer 1

The false statement is that teachers are allowed to engage in partisan political activities, as they are actually restricted from doing so under Section 16 of Batas Pambansa Blg. 232.

Step-by-step explanation:

The false statement with reference to Section 16 "Teachers' Obligations" of the Batas Pambansa Blg. 232 is C) Teachers are allowed to engage in partisan political activities. Teachers in the Philippines under Batas Pambansa Blg. 232 are actually restricted from engaging in partisan political activities, especially during school hours or within the premises of educational institutions. While they are required to maintain discipline in the school and instill patriotism and nationalism among students, they must also remain neutral in terms of partisan politics in their official capacity as educators. They have a duty to be loyal to the Republic of the Philippines as well.
