 MEMO FROM THE CHAIRPERSON
JULY 11, 2017
On April 21, 2015, the Supreme Court en banc issued
a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) enjoining the
Commission on Higher Education from implementing
and enforcing the provision of CHED Memorandum
Order no. 20, series of 2013, insofar as it excluded from
the curriculum for college Filipino and Panitikan as core
courses
Per Commission en banc Resolution No. 457-2017,
dated July 4, 2017, this Memorandum is being issued
to clarify the implementation of the New General
Education Curriculum per CMO No. 20, series of 2013,
as part of the new curricula in all undergraduate
degree programs in Academic Year 2018 – 2019
The abovementioned TRO does not put an injunction
against CMO 20, series of 2013, except on the
exclusion of Filipino and Panitikan courses. Thus, the
eight core courses (24 units) identified in CMO 20,
along with the mandated course on Rizal’s Life and
Works based on Republic Act 1425 (3 units), will be
taught starting AY 2018 – 2019;
1. Understanding the Self/Pag-unawa sa Sarili
2. Readings in Philippine History/Mga Babasahin Hinggil sa
Kasaysayan ng Pilipinas
3. The Contemporary World/Ang Kasalukuyang Daigdig
4. Mathematics in the Modern World/Matematika sa Makabagong
Daigdid
5. Purposive Communication/Malayuning Komunikasyon
6. Art Appreciation/Pagpapahalaga sa Sining
7. Science, Technology, and Society/Agham, Teknolohiya, at
Lipunan
8. The Life and Works of Rizal/Ang Buhay at mga Akda ni Rizal
While the TRO is in effect and while awaiting the
Supreme Court’s resolution of the case, the inclusion
of 9 units of GE electives starting Academic Year 2018
– 2019 as prescribed in CMO 20, series of 2013, is
hereby deferred in order to provide flexibility in the GE
curriculum, until further notice from the Commission.
At the same time, HEIs must include Filipino and Panitikan
as core courses in the General Education Curriculum during
the effectivity of the TRO issued by the Supreme Court.

This clarification is being issued to allow HEIs to plan for the

offering of undergraduate curricula in AY 2018 – 2019
based on CMO 20, series of 2013, subject to the TRO issued
by the Supreme Court, and the new Policies, Standards
and Guidelines that the Commission has issued recently,
and others that it may issue in the near future.
