MISSION
To protect and promote the right of every Filipino to quality, equitable, culture –
based, and complete basic education where:

We dream of Filipinos
who passionately love their country
and whose values and competencies
enable them to realize their full potential
and contribute meaningfully to building the nation.
imperative that bullying is stopped within our schools. It can create a hell on earth for someone
who is victimized, and can seriously threaten that person’s opportunities in life. Equally important,
the social climate of a school is a model of the world outside. It is where people develop a large
part of their morality, their understanding of how the world works and their sense of responsibility
towards the society they live in.
The rampancy of bullying urges the government to pass a law, Republic Act no. 10627,
otherwise known as the Anti-Bullying Act of 2013 to avoid, if not stop its vulnerability especially
between two or more among children.
This highlights the interventions used to prevent the bullying occurring in the school
through policies and code of conduct, which are, based on the implementing rules and regulations
of Republic Act No. 10627 and applicable to the school to ensure the strict implementation of the
child protection policy.
A child may indicate by signs of behavior that he or she is being bellied. Adults should be
aware of these possible signs and that they should investigate if a child:
Perhaps the most difficult aspect of recognizing the signs and symptoms of abuse and
neglect is that individuals with developmental disabilities may exhibit certain physical and/or
behavioral traits due to the nature of their disability. Therefore, it is very important to recognize
changes in behavior or health (particularly those not typically associated with the individual's
disability) as potential abuse indicators. It is also important to note that there is no universal
response to abuse or neglect.
These signs and behaviors could indicate other problems, but bullying should be considered
a possibility and should be investigated.
Above all else, be mindful that any sudden change in the physical, behavioral, or financial
status of someone with a developmental disability may be the result of past or ongoing incidences
of abuse, neglect or exploitation.
BULLYING OCCURING IN THE SCHOOL
School bullying is a type of bullying that occurs in an educational setting. Bullying can be physical,
sexual, verbal or emotional in nature.
1. An Intention to harm: intention suggests that the harm caused by bullying is deliberate, not
accidental.
2. Victimization distress: bullying causes the victim to suffer mild to sever psychological, social or
physical trauma.
3. Repetition: bullying is persistent; it happens more than once or has the potential to occur
multiple times.
The long-term effects of school bullying are numerous, and can include sensitivity, anxiety,
and depression. Recent statistics suggest that the majority of students will experience bullying at
some point in their academic careers. In the early 21st century, increasing attention has been given
to the importance of teachers and parents understanding and recognizing the signs of bullying
(among both bullies and victims), and being equipped with strategies and tools to address school
bullying.

V. INTERVENTIONS/ POLICIES/ CODE OF CONDUCT
Bullying Interventions
With the growing problem of bullying among children and teens, bullying interventions are
becoming more and more of a responsibility of parents and teachers. Bullying interventions are
necessary to prevent bullying or to stop it before it goes too far.
While it is not always possible to prevent cases of bullying, it is important to know what to
do as a parent or as a teacher or other school official to do to stop bullying with various types of
bullying interventions. Through this tactic, bullies might be able to be successfully put in their place
with an end to the bullying. There are a few different steps and ways you can go about preparing
bullying interventions.
Second, remind the bully about the rules established in the school. Or if you are a parent
looking to handle the situation, remind them of the rules in your home or in your neighborhood. It
is important for parents to make sure their children are not taking on the characteristics of bullying.
If they are, they need to be stopped before that type of behavior gets out of control. For some
children and teens anger management is a serious problem that may need to be addressed in a
counseling type setting to help stop the bully from continuing their antics and damage to their
peers.
If you are a parent, be sure to keep that child away from your own and help your child or
teen learn to avoid bullying. One way to prevent bullying is to help your child develop good self -
esteem. Your teen or child doesn't have to be the strongest kid in the class or on the block to avoid
bullying, but good, strong self-esteem is a great way to help them know how to handle a potential
bullying situation. Unfortunately bullies target the weak because they know they are an easy target.
Do your best to ensure your child is not an easy target. Along with self-esteem, encourage your
child to make friends with nice and kind peers. It is important for your child or teen to surround
themselves with a positive support group to help remain strong and not the next victim of a bullying attack. As a t

Bullying is a crime that often occurs with physical violence, stealing as well as through forms
of slander and libelous statements that can be made online or behind one's back. Remind them
that by committing these acts, they are susceptible for punishment by the justice system. If this is a
first time offense and the results are minimal, make sure the punishment fits the crime. However, if
this bully has continually hurt victims, be sure the consequences are much more severe. When
talking with the victim, be sure they understand everything possible is being done to ensure a
similar instance does not happen again. You want to make sure and gain their trust and confidence.
The effects of bullying can be severely detrimental to the victim not only physically but also
emotionally. This is why it is important to help them during the process to feel safe and secure
again. If you are a parent, be sure to involve the other child (s) parents in the situation to help reach a resolution. If you ar
