What is the ILAW Format Under DepEd Order No. 16, s. 2026?

DepEd Order No. 16, s. 2026 prescribes the ILAW format for all EsP teachers across all grade levels. Edukasyon sa Pagpapakatao is a core subject focused on values formation, character development, and moral decision-making — and the ILAW framework is especially well-suited for this subject.
