Little Bullies
The full title of Republic Act 10627, the anti-bullying law passed in 2013, is “an act requiring all elementary and secondary schools to adopt policies to prevent and address the acts of bullying in their institutions.” RA 10627 prohibits not only “unwanted physical contact” between the bully and the victim but also cyber bulling and any act “that causes damage to a victim’s psyche and/or emotional well-being.”
Failure to comply with the law can lead to administrative sanctions in public schools, and the suspension of the permit to operate of private schools where the bullying takes place.
As a video that has gone viral has shown, however, bullying among children is very much alive, whether in the streets or in exclusive private schools. The video shows a young student being chased and beaten by a smaller boy in a toilet at the Ateneo de Manila. Other video clips have since emerged, showing the assailant, reportedly a junior high school student trained in taekwondo, bullying other boys in a few other cases.
Aggravating the attack itself is the bully’s continuing pugnacious behavior, despite an apology posted on social media.
An outraged father of two has challenged the father of the bully to a boxing or wrestling match. The challenger vowed to pay P100,000 if he loses. If he wins, he wants the bully’s father to apologize to the victim. The challenger elicited expressions of support for pointing out that parents must discipline their children instead of encouraging violent behavior.
Schools, however, must also do more to discourage bullying. Mechanisms must be in place to encourage victims to report cases of bullying without fear of retaliation. This may need coordination with the Philippine National Police and the National Bureau of Investigation for cases of cyber bullying.
School counseling programs also need to be boosted, not only to protect victims but also to address the problems that promote violent behavior among children. The Ateneo bully indicated on social media that he was going through certain problems.
Bullying among children can leave permanent scars. Violent behavior in high school can be carried over into college, as shown in the numerous fraternity and sorority hazing cases. The latest case shows an urgent need to improve the enforcement of laws against bullying and to enhance measures to prevent such attacks.

At first, being a
teacher is not my real desire to take as my career. My first choice to
take as
a profession is Physical therapist because of the salary. But for some reason
God lead me to teaching profession. I choose being a MAPEH teacher because of
my passion to different areas like playing different musical instruments,
Volleyball, table tennis, swimming, Badminton, darts, and I also have creative
minds that will help to become an effective MAPEH teacher. For me it is also an
edge for me that I love those areas I mentioned related to teaching MAPEH. I will divide my impressions to different
aspects that I love and hate as my first impression in YSS. At first, I like
the fact that the number of students in YSS is not that overwhelming for me as
a beginner, it makes my work easier to handle. Second I honestly love the
relationship that the faculty members of YSS have. Lastly I love how respectful
and God fearing the students of YSS. If there's something I dont like about in
YSS is the fact that the teachers sometimes don't get the respect they deserve and
understanding from those people that should be giving respect and trust to us
teachers.
