THE Commission on Human Rights welcomes the recent directive of the Philippine National Police , allowing incidents of bullying in schools to be reported through the 911 emergency hotline. This initiative is a significant step in enhancing child protection mechanisms by ensuring that cases of bullying can be urgently and easily reported. However, CHR also emphasizes that the primary responsibility for addressing bullying in schools remains with the school administration.
Interventions should focus on restorative and developmental approaches that aim to correct behavior, ensure accountability, and promote a culture of empathy and respect among peers. Every child — whether victim, perpetrator or witness — deserves protection of their rights, dignity and welfare. CHR reiterates that the Philippines, as a signatory to the Convention on the Rights of the Child, has an obligation to ensure protection and care for children necessary for their well-being.
