DAVAO CITY – Councilor Enzo Villafuerte is calling for the enactment of an anti-bullying ordinance in Davao City during his very first privilege speech on Tuesday.“The normalization of bullying is a slippery slope. It invites us to accept that destructive behavior cannot be countenanced since it is usual practice, even a predisposition. This cannot be,” he said.
RA 20627 requires all elementary and secondary schools to adopt policies to prevent and address the acts of bullying in their institutions, which enhances the Department of Education’s Child Protection Policy of 2012. The latter protects children from any act of child abuse, exploitation, violence, discrimination, bullying, and other related offenses.
He noted that Article 19 of the New Civil Code serves as a telling guide on the proper conduct of human relations: “Every person must, in the exercise of his rights and in the performance of his duties, act with justice, give everyone his due, and observe honesty and good faith.”
