Class Module Calling Mosquito as “Namok” in Tagalog Goes Viral
A certain netizen has posted the photo of a class module calling mosquito “Namok” in Tagalog elicits comments online.
A Facebook user named “Lakandupil Caparanga Garcia” has shared the photo of a self-learning module calling mosquito as “Namok” instead of what we used to call “Lamok”. The post garnered various reactions from the netizens.
Garcia explained that the module has been written in a “Vernacular” language. Truly, mosquito is called “Lamok” in the Tagalog language and most books. However, it was called “Namok” in other languages.
