BORACAY – An interagency effort to stop bullying and cyber-bullying among high school students has started in schools.
The campaign to halt bullying in person or online must start in schools, Senior Police Officer 1 Christopher Mendoza said during a lecture in Boracay National High School yesterday.
“Think before you click,” the Boracay Tourist Assistance Center police-community relations officer told the audience.
Mendoza talked about Republic Act (RA) 10627, or “An Act Requiring all Elementary and Secondary Schools to Adopt Policies to Prevent and Address the Acts of Bullying in their Institutions.”
The audience were also given a lecture on RA 10360 — the amended RA 9344, or the Juvenile Justice and Welfare Act — and RA 10364, or the Expanded Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act.
Joining the campaign are representatives from the nongovernment organization ECPAT (End Child Prostitution, Child Pornography and the Trafficking of Children for Sexual Purposes) Philippines and the Municipal Social Welfare and Development Office of Malay.
The campaign started after a high school student complained about cyber-bullying on Facebook. (PNA)
