00:00It's like there's a lot going on right now, not just on the streets, but also inside the school.
00:08In Quezon City, a group of students were caught with a Grade 8 student inside the classroom.
00:16It was clearly seen in the video that the Grade 8 student was being dragged and pulled.
00:22There was also a point where he was laughed at and he was even slapped in the face.
00:27The victim was hurt several times that day.
00:31Because of fear, he did not speak to his parents.
00:35What does the law say about this?
00:38Oh my, it's really irritating.
00:40Ask me, ask Attorney Gabby.
00:48Attorney, these are just Grade 8 students and they are still inside the classroom.
00:53What does the law say about this situation where a student seems to be alone?
01:00Oh my, how many times have we talked about this?
01:04It's really an issue of bullying that we often see, read, and talk about here.
01:11Actually, in fact, there's a study that says that at least 65% of students are bullied several times in a month.
01:21And we already know that we have the Republic Act 10627 or the Anti-Bullying Act
01:27that the main objective is to protect students from any type of bullying in educational institutions.
01:36According to this law, each school should have its own child protection policy.
01:45That's why in this situation, because they are minors,
01:49there are no cases that can be filed against bullies in our courts.
01:54But there are possible administrative sanctions in schools for bullies.
01:59And those administrative sanctions can range from reprimand to suspension,
02:06to expulsion or exclusion, and even prosecution from the school.
02:12Of course, there should be a counseling session for bullies,
02:16and also for the victim so that they can recover from the trauma of this incident.
02:22And hopefully, there is a proper child protection policy for that according to the Anti-Bullying Act.
02:30Attorney, does the school have a responsibility for the fights that happened inside the school premises?
02:36And do the parents of the victims also have a responsibility?
02:41Under Article 218 and 219 of the Family Code,
02:45the law recognizes the special parental authority of the schools, administrators, and teachers.
02:54This means that if something happens and the children are doing something
02:58that should be supervised by teachers and teacher aides,
03:06they can answer for damages if they see that there is neglect.
03:11According to the Family Code, they are principally and solidarily liable for these damages.
03:17The parents will also answer in case the school does not answer for these damages.
03:23Take note, if the bullying happened outside the school,
03:27and the teachers are no longer supervising them and it is not a school activity,
03:32it is still the usual rule that the parents of minors will answer for the bullying.
03:40Bottom line, both the schools and the parents have a responsibility.
03:45The schools need to protect the students against bullying.
03:49And the parents have an obligation to teach and supervise their children so that they will not be bullied.
03:58And maybe the violence on television and the internet
04:03becomes a reason as to why the hands of our youth are so light today.
04:10We will clarify the law.
04:13As you know, for the peace of mind, don't think twice.
04:19Ask me, ask Katerina Gad.
