Craft own anti-bullying policy-Angara
By Creselda Canda-Lopez

“We already have Anti-Bullying Act and that law requires all schools to have their policy against bullying…so, we will be strict with implementation of that…we will issue order to remind schools to adopt anti-bullying policy,” Education Secretary Sonny Angara reminded all schools, public or private, to craft their own anti-bullying policy in compliance with Republic Act 10627 or Anti-Bullying Act of 2013.
He said each school’s anti-bullying policy should ideally include disciplinary action against bullies and pychosocial interventions for victims.
“We respect schools’ freedom to craft their own policy, but there should be sanctions bullies … and they should establish their own Child Disciplinary Committee, which will handle bullying cases, there should be designated school officers who will handle these cases, aside from bullying cases, there should really be guidance counselor for each school who will handle cases of mental health, depression,” Angara said.
Angara made statement as Philippines as labeled “bullying capital of the world” by Program for International Student Assessment.
Recent Singapore study, Meta-Gallup Report, also showed Philippines’ Generation Z – born between 1997 and 2012 are world’s second loneliest and the most lonesome in Southeast Asia.
Report identified Gen Z as first generation to have fully grown up in the world of smartphones and social media.
