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.
