Senator Erwin Tulfo demands stronger anti-bullying action in Philippine schools after a delayed report on a student assault exposed systemic failures.
Sen. Erwin Tulfo is calling for stronger, proactive anti-bullying measures in Philippine schools, criticizing the current enforcement of the 2013 Anti-Bullying Act as too reactive.
He highlighted a recent viral video of a student assault in Narvacan, Ilocos Sur, where the school delayed reporting for three days, exposing systemic failures.
Lawmakers questioned rules requiring formal complaints before investigations, urging immediate intervention by teachers and officials.
Concerns include fear of penalties for reporting, lack of trained mental health staff, and rising bullying rates linked to student suicides.
Despite multiple hearings, enforcement remains weak, prompting calls for law reform and increased education funding to ensure safer schools.
