According to the consolidated report of Department of Education (Dep Ed), bullying cases on elementary and high school of both private and public schools on 2014 rose by 21% or a total of 6,363 cases, compare with the 5,236 on 2013.

This translates to 31 daily bullying cases from a divisor of 201 school days. The statistics was disclosed by Rep. Gerald Anthony Gullas Jr., a member of the House committee on basic education. ~~[ source:~~ ~~Interaksyon~~ ] article was taken down by the website.

Do we have an effective bullying and child protection program in Philippine schools?

In my opinion, it’s too early to say, the rise of reported bullying cases is a consequence of the reporting requirements of the law. Bullying cases is rampant, however, it remain under reported prior to the anti-bullying act. This is understandable, since no parents or even school administration would like his/her family or school to be famous because of bullying.

Schools, however, to mitigate the effects and reduce the incidence of bullying, should comply with the Implementing Rules and Regulations of the Anti-bullying law of 2013 to address the root causes of bullying. And the important ones, aside from the reporting requirements, are as follows:

Schools to have prevention program that is comprehensive, multi-faceted, and shall involve all education stakeholders and personnel. This may contain:
- Positive school climate/environment
- Periodic assessment and monitoring of bullying behaviors
- Periodic review of manual of conduct for both students and personnel, in relation to bullying
- Activities on the issue for students, personnel and service providers
- Personnel development
- Coordination with LGUs and other stakeholders
- Classroom initiatives
- Activities involving parents
Schools to have intervention programs to ensure continuity of policies. These may include:
- Activities
- Corrective and preventive, rather than punitive, measures
Students have a duty to intervene to protect the victim, unless the same jeopardizes their safety/security
The Child Protection Committee (CPC) established by DepEd Order 40 shall also be the Anti-Bullying Committee
Composition of Committee:
- School Head/Admin-Chair
- Guidance Counselor/Teacher-Vice Chair
- Rep of teachers designated by faculty
- Rep of parents as designated by PTA
- Rep of students, except in kinder, as designated by student council-optional for private schools
- Rep from community as designated by Punong Barangay, preferably from the Barangay Council for the Protection of Children (BCPC)
Jurisdiction for complaints of bullying and other acts under the IRR: exclusive: DepEd or private school and not subject to barangay settlement
Procedures must include:
- Immediate responses-ANYONE who has personal knowledge must immediately call the attention of ANY school personnel
- School personnel once notified is expected to intervene:
  - Stop the bullying immediately
  - Remove students from harm and provide medical attention if needed
  - Bring the bully to the Guidance Office or designated personnel
Anonymous reporting to be entertained
Person reporting to be afforded protection
Fact-finding and documentation:
- Designated school official to:
  - Interview parties involved separately
  - Assess threat level, devise intervention strategies
  - Inform parents of both parties of the steps to be taken
  - Make recommendations to CPC
CPC to determine the intervention programs for parties involved.
Schools may refer parties to trained professionals outside the school
Disciplinary measures must be according to nature, gravity of the bullying and attendant circumstances
Due process must be observed
Community service may be a form of punishment if the same is in the rules and regulations of the school
CPC supervises the intervention programs
On due process:
- Student and his parents to be informed IN WRITING of the complaint
- Student to be given the opportunity to answer with assistance of parents/guardians
- Decision of the school head shall be IN WRITING, stating the basis thereof
- School head’s decision may be appealed to Division Office of DepEd
False accusation of bullying also to be sanctioned
Bullying incidents are confidential and breach thereof by school personnel is likewise sanctioned
