Abstract: Cyberbullying is a social disorder emanating from the development of technology and wider access to the Internet. This study aims to assess the students’ profiles and the prevalence of cyberbullying in the higher education institutions in Central Luzon, Philippines. The study used a descriptive-correlational technique with the help of an online survey to gather data. Using a convenience sampling technique, 319 higher education students participated in the online survey, first semester of the academic year 2021–2022. In order to attain the objective of the study, the investigators used a standardized instrument. Using SPSS 23, we analyzed the gathered data using the following statistical tools: frequency, percentage, weighted mean, and non-parametrical tests like Kruskall-Wallis and Spearman rho. Respondents revealed that they were “never” cyberbullying victims or offenders. Furthermore, statistical inferences showed a variation for cyberbullying offenders as to age and sponsorship/scholarship and a weak indirect relationship between cyberbullying offenders and sponsorship/scholarship characteristics of the students. From the results of the study, the investigators recommended pertinent implications for the new normal of learning among students and the institution.

Title: Empathy, cyberbullying, and cybervictimization among Filipino adolescents

Journal: National Library of Medicine

URL: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8650871/

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to gain insights into empathy, cyberbullying, and cybervictimization among Filipino adolescents. The participants were 168 junior high school students in the 7th to 10th grades at a public high school in Cavite Province, Philippines. Data were collected on demographic characteristics, the Basic Empathy Scale, and Revised Cyber Bullying Inventory-II scores. The data were analyzed in SPSS using descriptive statistics (frequency and mean), the independent t-test, bivariate correlation, and one-way analysis of variance. The degree of empathy did not show a statistically significant relationship with cyberbullying (r=−.07, p=.359) but did show a significant relationship with cybervictimization (r=.18, p=.025). Furthermore, cyberbullying had a statistically significant association with cybervictimization (r=.60, p<.001. Although empathy does not necessarily affect cyberbullying, higher levels of empathy were found among cyberbullying victims. However, an alarming result of this study is the possibility that victims may become cyberbullies. Therefore, we should highlight empathy as part of efforts to prevent cyberbullying and to solve various cyber-related problems. Since cyberbullying and cybervictimization are closely related, it is important to focus on this relationship and to make multilateral efforts to ensure that cyberbullying does not lead to other negative issues.

Title: Analysis of Cyberbullying Incidence among Filipina Victims: A Pattern Recognition using Association Rule Extraction

Journal: I.J. Intelligent Systems and Applications

URL: https://doi.org/10.5815/ijisa.2019.11.05

Abstract: Cyberbullying is an intentional action of harassment along the complex domain of social media utilizing information technology online. This research experimented unsupervised associative approach on text mining technique to automatically find cyberbullying words, patterns and extract association rules from a collection of tweets based on the domain / frequent words. Furthermore, this research identifies the relationship between cyberbullying keywords with other cyberbullying words, thus generating knowledge discovery of different cyberbullying word patterns from unstructured tweets. The study revealed that the type of dominant frequent cyberbullying words are intelligence, personality, and insulting words that describe the behavior, appearance of the female victims and sex related words that humiliate female victims. The results of the study suggest that we can utilize unsupervised associative approached in text mining to extract important information from unstructured text. Further, applying association rules can be helpful in recognizing the relationship and meaning between keywords with other words, therefore generating knowledge discovery of different datasets from unstructured text.

Title: Defining Bullying among Students from Criminal Law Perspective: Comparison between Malaysia and the Philippines

Journal: Universal Journal of Educational Research

URL: https://doi.org/10.13189/ujer.2019.070803

Abstract: School bullying is not new, but it has been a long and constant problem. Bullying issues are often reported in the mass media and have garnered attention not only in Malaysia but also abroad. Today, bullying can no longer considered as a trivial social problem that can be taken lightly. Failure to address this issue will have bad consequences for students in particular. Various ways have been introduced to tackle this issue and one of them is through the enforcement of law. This study will focus on the bullying within the legal framework in Malaysia, especially in the context of its definition. Studies showed that while in Malaysia, there are alarming statistics about bullying, but little attention has been paid to the absence of any specific law dealing with bullying in Malaysia. To date, no statutory definition of bullying has been provided. This paper thus provides an overview of Malaysia’s legal framework of bullying compared with the Philippines law on bullying. Despite a number of definitions of bullying provided by the scholars, the paper concludes that to date, there are no specific law on bullying and its statutory definition in Malaysia. Such absence may not fully safeguard the interests of bullying victims comprehensively. The findings would give more clarity to the theoretical framework of bullying in Malaysia thus showing the commitment of the government towards preventing the rampancy of this issue through legal enforcement

URL: https://doi.org/10.1109/HNICEM.2018.8666295

Abstract: Mobile gamification has been explored to understand the possibility of its application to promote engagement and motivation for learning among students. However, it cannot be disputed that the growing market for mobile games has drawn several ethical setbacks. Two of the setbacks arising from mobile gaming are addiction and cyberbullying. Mobile Game Addiction and Cyberbullying are ethical concerns that should be addressed respectively as it hampers regular individual activities particularly of students in an academic institution. In the Philippines, very few or no studies have been conducted to determine the prevalence of ethical concerns in mobile gaming specifically on Mobile Game Addiction and Cyberbullying. It is the role of the present study to determine the prevalence of Cyberbullying and Addiction in the context of Mobile Gaming among students of one University in the Philippines through the Quantitative Approach. Existing Surveys were used to determine the possible prevalence of Cyberbullying and Addiction. Additionally, a discussion on consequentialism about the ethical dilemma in mobile gaming is addressed through Qualitative approach. From the Game Addiction Test, the over-all mean suggested that thirty-six (36) out of the eighty-eight (88) respondents are at risk for Mobile Game addiction, whereas, six (6) can be classified as mobile game addicts. The test also revealed that the respondents play mobile games for Mood Modification (the need to shift from a bad mood to a good mood). For Cyberbullying, it is not conclusive that majority of the respondents have experience or have initiated cyberbullying in mobile games. Nevertheless, a few of the respondents have become a victim or have initiated cyberbullying. Ethical discussion on Consequentialism and recommendations are discussed in the latter part of the paper.

Title: Curbing Cyberbullying Among Students: A Comparative Analysis of Existing Laws Among Selected Asian Countries

Journal: PEOPLE: International Journal of Social Sciences

URL: https://dx.doi.org/10.20319/pijss.2019.43.12851305

Abstract: Last 2013, the Philippines approved the Anti-Bullying law, which covered cyberbullying. However, a 2015 study revealed that 80% of Filipino teenagers aged 13 to 16 are still experiencing cyberbullying (Takumi, 2016). This paper attempted to compare existing laws on cyberbullying among selected ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) countries such as Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. It also aims to identify each country’s anti-cyberbullying measures that might fit other ASEAN countries’ needs. To achieve its purposes, it used a qualitative research with the following primary methods: discourse analysis of cyberbullying laws and alternative strategies addressing said concern; and literature review of online journals, online publications, and online news articles. The study revealed that the Philippines is the only ASEAN country with a cyberbullying law that addresses the students, while other countries have alternative strategies in addressing the issue. Further, it found that cyberbullying is experienced by individuals aged 6 to 30 through Facebook and Twitter. The study suggests that the government should require schools to develop specific and consistent policies that would address this concern; and a curriculum that promotes digital responsibility. Finally, parents are encouraged to educate their children on ethical values, particularly in the digital world.

Title: The Impact of Cyberbullying on Substance Use and Mental Health in a Multiethnic Sample

Journal: Maternal & Child Health Journal

URL: https://doi.org/10.1007/s10995-010-0672-x

Abstract: The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between cyberbullying and mental health problems among a multiethnic sample of high school students in Hawai`i. A University-Community partnership was established to direct the research. Using a mixed-methods approach, we explored violence among Asian and Pacific Islander youth. In the first phase, focus groups were conducted to identify areas of youth concern and develop survey questions. Responses from 677 high school students on interpersonal youth violence and risk and protective factors were utilized in this study. More than 1 in 2 youth (56.1%) had been victims of cyberbullying in the last year. Filipino and Samoan youth were more likely to report feeling badly about themselves as a result of cyberbullying. While cyberbullying and mental health problems varied by sex and ethnicity, we found that cyberbullying is widespread with serious potential consequences among Asian and Pacific Islander youth. A multifaceted approach is needed to reduce and prevent cyberbullying. School, family and community programs that strengthen positive relationships and promote safe use of technology provide promise for reducing cyberbullying.

This study aims to articulate the students' perception about cyber bullying, particularly on social media. Even though ICT technology provides a large number of benefits, particularly those who are young, as Campbell (2005) has pointed out that it has also a "dark side" (p. 68). Particularly after the intensive and extensive use of the social media, the impact of the cyberbullying has dramatically increased, but it is rarely discussed and prevented. Hence, in this study, the forty-five participants were selected from two different universities and by using phenomenological analysis (Moustakas, 1994), eight research questions were answered in the semi-structured interviews, which were approximately 45 minutes in length. By gathering theoriginal data were gathered from 'naive' descriptions the experiences related to cyber bullying were taken into account based on reflection and interpretation of the participant's different stories. The collected data were analyzed in Atlas.ti 6 in order to make depth study. Additionally, there were limitations in terms of selecting the participants since a few students wanted to share their personal experiences. As a result, the data showed that the students had inevitably affected by the cyber bullying in the social media in many ways. Among ali these students, the female students had been influenced to a greater degree comparing to male students. Most (96%) of the participants agreed that social relations had changed a lot and they had to have connections with their friends through the social media. The students— particularly females—viewed cyber bullying as a problem, but no one rarely discussed at the university. More importantly a large number (89%) felt loneliness and they did not know how to behave properly. Most (91%) students did not see any helpful resources when dealing with cyber bullying. Students (82%) were currently experiencing the majority of cyber bullying instances outside of the school day, but they had direct relationship with the events at the university. Students (84%) were not able to suggest some basic strategies in order to deal with cyber bullying. They (79%) agreed that they did not know how to respond to cyberbullying. Additionally, a large number of the (94%) participants agreed that the effects would be different on the elite environments comparing to the socially disadvantaged environments. They (96%) pointed out that the future of social media had been changing in terms of education and learning so that they did not have any chance to ignore the social media. Most (85%) of the participants clarified that the university social environment, centres and counselling offices would develop a better network and understanding in order to decrease cyber bullying. Most (88%) participants articulated that cyber bullying on the socail media would develop particuiar problems and would change the culture of social life. Most (81%) claim that social media are important not only for their social life but also for their Professional life so that they did not want to see their private photographs on the walls of their friends. These (61%) participants strongly pointed out that privacy was remarkably important for the individuals but it was not controlled. Furthermore, most (92%) participants mentioned that the autonomy in the social media would make the individulas aggressive due to the fact that there was not any law and regulations to.

The developments in mobile technologies and the spread of 4G and 5G internet infrastructures increase internet usage day by day. Especially in early 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which affected the whole world, the transfer of face-to-face activities to the online environment has accelerated the widespread use of the internet. Despite the risk of COVID-19, face-to-face education has started to be done online on e-learning platforms. Thus, almost all of the students, from preschool level to higher education level, started to spend more time on the internet. This situation has also increased the possibility of students encountering negative behaviors and threats in the internet environment. In this study, the cyber bullying status of university students was investigated and it was examined whether there was a relationship between students' cyber bullying levels and various variables such as gender, age and family income. As a result of the research, it was determined that the students' level of cyber bullying in general was low. In addition, it was concluded that the cyber bullying status of the students did not differ statistically according to gender, family income, internet and social media usage. In future studies, the situation of being a cyber-bully or cyber victim of university students from different regions can be investigated according to their faculties and departments.

Journal of interpersonal violence,

Technology has many positive effects on education, but negative effects also exist. One of the negative effects is cyberbullying spreading out of school boundaries to the social networks. The increasing popularity of social media among youngsters engenders cyberbullies who exploit the virtual environment besides the usual emails. This distresses the students and adversely affects their families, teachers, and others around them. Although research studies mainly concentrate on prior education, there seems to be a need to investigate the situation in higher education. This study focuses on students studying technology and related disciplines, who are hence likely to be well connected with cyberspace, and explores their awareness about cyberbullying. The findings reveal that female students have significantly less awareness than males. This study will help address some gender issues in cyberbullying.

Cyberbullying is a systematic abuse of power which occurs through the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs). Research on cyberbullying shows that cyberbullying and victimisation have very serious negative effects on the value judgements, social, academic and emotional lives of young people. Persons exposed to cyberbullying include intense sadness and depression, feelings of fear and shame, tense experience, high or very low alertness, low interest in ICTs tools, problematic behaviours, decrease in school success, use of harmful substances or inconvenience, crime, substance abuse, frustration, anger, anxiety, loss of motivation, academic failure, school absenteeism and problems that can lead to suicide. The studies on cyberbullying will encourage young people to recognise this concept and use the technology in the right direction to cope with cyberbullying situations.

Cyberbullying among College Students: A Case Study

Alma Sonia Q. Sanchez-Danday

A significant amount of study has been conducted on cyberbullying and its impact on middle school and high school students, however, far less is known about cyberbullying experiences of undergraduate students. This study determined the college students' experiences with cyberbullying and the coping strategies they used to deal with the issue. In order to reflect the experiences of the five college students who were purposively selected as study participants from a higher education institution in the Philippines, a case study design was used. The experiences and coping techniques were examined using thematic analysis. The findings showed that the participants experienced body shaming, backstabbing, and ridicule, and some were even victims of fake personas. These experiences have an impact on their emotional and mental well-being, which in turn affect their academic performance and social interactions. Further, their coping mechanisms include self-isolation, social media blockades, face-to-face confrontations, and even resorting to threats against offenders, all of which have been shown to be effective in overcoming cyberbullying. To reduce the rising instances of cyberbullying, anti-cyberbullying policies may be put into place.

What are the laws for cyberbullying in the Philippines?

The primary law addressing cyberbullying in the Philippines is the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10175).

Table of Contents

The Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012

The Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012 , officially known as Republic Act No. 10175, serves as the primary legislation against cybercrimes in the Philippines. This act covers a broad range of offenses, including cyberbullying.

Provisions Relevant to Cyberbullying

Illegal Access and Interception : Unauthorized access to personal information with intent to harm or defraud is punishable under the act.
Data Interference : Alteration, deletion, or deterioration of data without rights, especially when used to cyberbully, is an offense.
Cyber Libel : Public dissemination of defamatory information against a person online. This provision directly tackles online defamation, which is often a tool for cyberbullying.
Content-related offenses : This involves the distribution of prohibited content, especially those that incite hate or cause harm to individuals.
Abusing Secrecy of Private Content : Capturing and sharing private content without consent. This can encompass acts such as revenge porn, which often intersects with cyberbullying.

Punishments and Penalties

Prison Terms : Offenders can face imprisonment depending on the gravity of their crime. For example, cyber libel can result in a prison term of up to six years.
Fines : The act allows for significant financial penalties, sometimes stretching to millions of Philippine pesos. The amount depends on the gravity and repercussions of the crime committed.
Additional Penalties : For repeat offenders or those committing multiple cybercrimes, the act prescribes stiffer penalties, both in terms of imprisonment and fines.

Safe Spaces Act (Republic Act 11313)

The Safe Spaces Act , more formally known as Republic Act 11313, is a landmark legislation in the Philippines designed to combat various forms of sexual harassment. It promotes a culture of respect and security both in physical and online spaces.

Coverage and Relevance to Cyberbullying

Online Sexual Harassment : The act specifically addresses unwanted sexual advances, comments, and actions made online. This includes sharing explicit content without consent, making lewd comments, or any actions that may be deemed sexually offensive.
Gender-Based Online Harassment : Targeting individuals due to their gender identity or expression in online platforms falls under this provision. This ensures that members of the LGBTQ+ community and other gender groups are protected from cyberbullying.
Peers and Superior Harassment : The act ensures that individuals are protected from online harassment by peers, superiors, or subordinates, making it particularly relevant in academic and workplace settings.
Encouraging Respectful Online Interactions : Beyond punishment, the act aims to foster a respectful online culture where individuals are aware of the harmful repercussions of their online behavior.

Reporting Mechanisms

Reporting to Authorities : Victims of online harassment under this act can directly report incidents to local law enforcement agencies, which are then compelled to take swift action.
Digital Platforms Reporting : Online platforms, such as social media sites and websites, should establish clear and accessible reporting mechanisms for users to report instances of online harassment.
Confidentiality : The act ensures that the identity and details of victims reporting online harassment remain confidential, protecting them from further victimization.
Prompt Action : Once reported, the act mandates swift action, ensuring that investigations start immediately to provide relief to the victim.

Child Protection Policies

Child Protection Policies in the Philippines have the objective of establishing a secure and supportive environment for children. These policies work to safeguard them from abuse, violence, and other harmful situations.These policies serve as guidelines for institutions, especially schools, to ensure children’s well-being.

The Role of the Department of Education (DepEd)

Child Protection Committee : The Department of Education (DepEd) mandates the formation of a Child Protection Committee in every school. This committee ensures the strict implementation of child protection policies.
Training and Seminars : DepEd regularly conducts training sessions and seminars for teachers, school administrators, and staff about child rights, protection mechanisms, and handling child abuse cases.
Reporting Mechanism : Schools under DepEd have a clear mechanism to report cases of child abuse, bullying, or any harm inflicted on a child, ensuring timely intervention and action.
Curriculum Integration : DepEd integrates lessons on children’s rights, self-protection, and recognizing abuse into the school curriculum, educating children about their rights and safety.

Programs and Interventions for School-Aged Children

Anti-Bullying Campaigns : Schools conduct regular campaigns and programs that focus on anti-bullying, teaching students about the harmful effects of bullying and promoting a culture of respect.
Counseling Services : Schools provide counseling services for children facing challenges, ensuring they have a safe space to talk and get guidance.
Peer Support Groups : Some schools establish peer support groups where students can discuss their problems, share experiences, and support each other under the guidance of a trained teacher or counselor.
Awareness Drives : Information drives on cyberbullying, online safety, and responsible internet usage are conducted, given the rise of digital platforms in children’s lives.

Comparison with Other Countries

Understanding how the Philippines stands in comparison with other nations offers insights into the strengths and areas for improvement in addressing cyberbullying and ensuring child protection.

Best Practices from Around the World

Australia’s eSafety Commissioner : Australia has established an eSafety Commissioner dedicated to promoting safer online experiences. The commissioner provides resources, guidance, and direct intervention for online abuse cases, including cyberbullying.
United Kingdom’s Anti-Bullying Alliance : The UK’s Anti-Bullying Alliance is a coalition of organizations and individuals working together to combat bullying. Their “All Together” program provides resources and training for schools to become better at tackling bullying.
South Korea’s Internet Dream Village : This is an initiative that educates children on proper internet etiquette, the dangers of online life, and how to protect oneself. Given South Korea’s high internet usage rate among youngsters, such proactive measures play a pivotal role.
New Zealand’s Harmful Digital Communications Act : Passed in 2015, this act in New Zealand targets digital communications that cause serious emotional distress. It lays out communication principles and provides a legal framework to take action against violators.

Lessons for the Philippines

Strengthening Online Safety Education : Following the model of countries like South Korea, the Philippines can integrate more comprehensive online safety education at an early age.
Establishing a Dedicated Body : Like Australia’s eSafety Commissioner, the Philippines can consider setting up a dedicated body or agency focusing solely on online safety and cyberbullying issues.
Collaborative Efforts : Following the UK’s Anti-Bullying Alliance model, the Philippines can promote partnerships among various organizations and stakeholders to combat cyberbullying together.
Legislative Revisions : The Philippines can emulate New Zealand by updating its laws to address evolving online harassment and cyberbullying.

The Role of Social Media Platforms

Social media platforms play a critical role in today’s digital age, offering a space for connection, communication, and sharing. However, they also inadvertently become platforms for cyberbullying and harassment. Recognizing this, major platforms have developed policies and strategies to combat such issues.

Policies of Major Platforms on Cyberbullying

Facebook : Facebook has community standards that clearly define what is considered bullying and harassment. Users can report bullying content, and Facebook may remove such content or even ban users who repeatedly violate their standards.
Twitter : Twitter prohibits the abuse, harassment, and hateful conduct on its platform. It provides users with tools to report violations and block abusive accounts. The platform also monitors for harmful content proactively.
TikTok : TikTok has guidelines against content that promotes harm or belittles others. They have mechanisms for users to report offensive content and collaborate with external experts to refine their policies.
Snapchat : Snapchat has community guidelines that advise users against spreading hate or harassing others. Violations can result in content removal or account suspension.

Collaboration with the Philippine Government

Information Sharing : Social media platforms collaborate with the Philippine government by sharing data on cyberbullying trends, aiding in the formulation of policies and interventions.
Educational Campaigns : Platforms often partner with the government for awareness drives, teaching users about online etiquette, cyberbullying prevention, and reporting mechanisms.

This story is based on the “E-Bullying” segment of Brigada aired on August 27, 2012 on GMA News TV made by Segment Producer Ayen Bayani, Researcher Winxel Ochoa, Production Assistant Andrew Calla, and Correspondent Victoria Tulad.

Combating Cyberbullying in the Philippines: Current Challenges and Legal Framework

In the digital era, the Philippines faces a growing challenge: cyberbullying . This modern form of harassment, magnified by the internet’s anonymity and reach, impacts individuals of all ages, with particularly distressing effects on the youth. This article aims to explore the legal framework and protective measures in place in the Philippines to combat cyberbullying, offering insights into how the nation is working towards creating a safer online environment.

Defining Cyberbullying

Cyberbullying in the Philippines refers to using digital communication tools to intimidate, harass, or humiliate others. This phenomenon manifests in various forms, including malicious social media posts, harassing text messages, and the dissemination of private information without consent. The repetitive and deliberate nature of these actions causes significant harm, distress, or fear to the victims.

Legal Framework Addressing Cyberbullying

The Philippine legal system recognizes the detrimental effects of cyberbullying, addressing it through several laws. The Anti-Bullying Act of 2013 (Republic Act No. 10627) mandates educational institutions to adopt policies to prevent and respond to bullying, including its digital forms. Complementing this, the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10175) criminalizes online harassment, libel, and identity theft. Additionally, the proposed House Bill 2886 (Stop Bullying Act of 2022) aims to expand the coverage of anti-bullying laws to include the internet and workplaces, signifying a broadening understanding of bullying’s scope.

Recent Developments and Cases

Cybercrime incidents, including cyberbullying, have seen a dramatic increase in Metro Manila, with a 152% rise reported in the first half of 2023, according to the Philippine National Police . This surge highlights the urgent need for effective measures and interventions to address the growing threat of cyberbullying.

Protective Measures and Initiatives

Key measures to combat cyberbullying include:

Education and Awareness: Integrating cyberbullying awareness programs into school curriculums and educating children about responsible online behavior.
Reporting and Support Systems: Establishing channels for victims to report incidents to authorities like school administrators or the PNP Anti-Cybercrime Group .
Collaboration with Online Platforms: Encouraging social media platforms to enforce community guidelines that prohibit cyberbullying and implement reporting mechanisms.

Government and Law Enforcement Initiatives

The Philippine National Police (PNP) , through its Anti-Cybercrime Group (PNP-ACG), has intensified its campaign against cyberbullying, particularly targeting victimization on social media platforms. These efforts are crucial in establishing a robust response system to cyberbullying incidents in the country.

Challenges and Recommendations

Despite these efforts, challenges such as the underreporting of incidents and the rapid evolution of digital platforms persist. Addressing these challenges requires continuous policy updates, technological advancements in monitoring cyberbullying, and strengthening community engagement in preventive measures.

The Department of Education (DepEd) reported that bullying cases have increased in the last seven years, except during the pandemic.

DepEd Asst. Sec. Dexter Galban, during a to Senate hearing on anti-bullying, said 1,309 bullying cases were reported since RA 10627 or Anti-Bullying Act of 2013 was passed into law,

Galban also told the Senate Committee on Basic Education chaired by Sen. Sherwin Gatchalian that the number of cases has been rising until it reached 15,866 during the school year 2017 to 2018. The number of cases rose to 21,521 during the school year 2018 to 2019 which was the highest.

However, this went down to 11,637 during the school year 2019 to 2020.

Galban said it is likely that the reported cases of bullying increased since there was a reporting system following the passage of a law to address this crime.

There was also a decline in the number of bullying cases due to the pandemic as classes were held online. Based on the reported bullying cases the past seven years, he said 56.79% were physical, 25.43% were social, 5.92% were gender-based,6.03% were cyber bullying and 5.83% was retaliation or revenge.

Galban said the number of cyberbullying and gender-based bullying increased. He also said there were several cases of unreported bullying incidents due to the lack of guidance counselors.

Gatchalian earlier express alarm over the supposed unreported bullying cases in schools. He also noted the discrepancies between data from the DepEd and several studies and reports.

He also has misgivings on the education department’s figures as he pointed out by study from the Southeast Asia Primary Learning Metrics (SEA-PLM) showed that 63% of Grade 5 students experienced bullying, the highest in the region.

He also mentioned the study of the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) which reported that 40% of Filipino students are frequently bullied.

He emphasized these figures are consistent with the World Health Organization (WHO) report, which showed that 40.6% of children aged 13 to 17 experience some form of bullying.

“This is quite worrisome and concerning because the percentage showed that six out of ten students have experienced some form of bullying,” Gatchalian said.

Gatchalian said this means that there are a lot of unreported bullying cases.

In large-scale examinations, he said students “tell the truth” because they know that the evaluation will be processed by people who are not connected to their schools.

“So my analysis is there is a huge issue of cases being unreported, and that is a problem because if it is unreported, then how do we solve the problem? How do we help them?” asked Gatchalian.

Galban said they will confer with their research team as well as the planning services of DepEd to reconcile the data.

Regardless of political affiliation or social philosophy, it is undeniable how the power of social media has shaped recent events. The perceived anonymity that social media brings tends to shed people’s normal sensibilities or even basic civility. We therefore sometimes see posts or commentaries meant to embarrass competence and intelligence, gender or just plain rumour mongering.

Such acts done behind the cloak of a social media platform may have legal implications under Philippine Laws.

The Anti-Bullying Act of 2013 (RA 10627) This law finds applicability in school-related bullying, student-student bullying in particular, which covers those uttered in social media. “Bullying”, as defined, refers to any severe or repeated use by one or more students of a written, verbal or electronic expression, or a physical act or gesture, or any combination thereof, directed at another student that has the effect of actually causing or placing the latter in reasonable fear of physical or emotional harm or damage to his property; creating a hostile environment at school; infringing on the rights of another; or materially or substantially disrupting the education process. (Sec. 2, RA 10627) These acts are collectively called “ cyber bullying ” when committed online. (Sec. 2-D, RA 10627) This covers social bullying aiming to belittle another individual or group or gender-based bullying that humiliates another on the basis of perceived or actual sexual orientation and gender identity. (Sec. 3, B-1, RA 10627, Implementing Rules).

The Revised Penal Code and the Cybercrime Prevention Act One who publicly or maliciously imputes to another a crime, vice, defect, real or imaginary, or any act, omission, condition, status or circumstance tending to cause the dishonor, discredit or contempt of a natural or juridical person, or blacken the memory of one who is dead may be liable for libel under this Code. (Art. 353, RPC) These acts are more severely punished when done online in addition to the civil action for damages which may be brought by the offended party. (Sec. 4(c-4), RA 10175) Cyberlibel holds liable only the original author of the post (Sec. 5(3), Implementing Rules of RA 10175). Likers or sharers of a post cannot be held liable under this law.

Slander may also be applicable to one who, in heat of anger, utters statements that are highly defamatory in character. (Art. 358, RPC) Intriguing Against Honour may also find applicability when the principal purpose is to blemish the honour or reputation of a person. (Art. 364, RPC) However, the requirement is that the post be directed to a specific person. Hence, a blind item is not as actionable as a named-post in social media.

The Civil Code on Damages One who is aggrieved by a defamatory post in social media may find refuge in the provisions of the Civil Code on Damages. (Art. 2176, Civil Code) One who posts in social media, causing damage to the reputation of another may be liable to the subject for damages and this can be a valid cause of action under the law. Such posts must tend to pry to the privacy and peace of mind of another, meddle or disturb the private life or family relations of another, intrigue to cause another to be alienated from his friends or vex or humiliate another on account of his religious beliefs, lowly station in life, place of birth, physical defect or other personal condition. (Art. 26, Civil Code)

The Labour Code on Just Causes for Termination An employee who spreads rumors or intrigues against a co-worker or his superior or vice versa, or who does any act similar to cyberlibel, slander, intriguing against honour or even prying into the privacy of another may be a just cause for termination if embodied in the company policy in addition to all other causes of action available to him under the laws mentioned. (Sec. 5.2(g), D.O 147-15)

However, all these will only be a valid cause of action to one who is the subject of the post and who is aware of the post directed to him.

Freedom of speech must not be infringed but this right is not without any limitations. In the end, it is always best to devote the stroke of our fingers and the clicks of our mouse to intellectual discourse that matter rather than risk being held liable under the law. After all, the power of our minds should be mightier than any sword there is.

by Sonnie Santos | Cyber Wellness ToolBox , CyberBullying

Update 11.26.2022 Article: Collective Pushback Against Cyberbullying Update May 31, 2022: Stop the hate and you’ll stop bullying April 23, 2022: Use of stalkerware without consent is digital abuse and a form of cyberbullying

Of the top 5 cybercrimes in 2020, at least 3 can be associated with Cyber bullying.

What is cyberbullying

Let’s refer to Republic Act 10627 for the definition. Though this law is intended for minors, we can lift the framework to get a working definition.

SEC. 2. Acts of Bullying Any severe or repeated use by one or more students of a written, verbal or electronic expression, or a physical act or gesture, or any combination thereof, directed at another student that has the effect of actually causing or placing the latter in reasonable fear of physical or emotional harm or damage to his property; creating a hostile environment at school for the other student; infringing on the rights of the other student at school, or materially and substantially disrupting the education process or the orderly operation of a school;

When cyberbullying is not

bullying (free speech) and safe space, whose right will you protect?

screen grab of Sonnie’s talk about (cyber)bullying

Different forms of online bullying

As technology evolves, new forms will emerged. As of this writing, below are different forms of cyber bullying

Cyber Lynching

This is also known as group bullying or cyber mob . Group bullying may happen after someone calls out a person for (1) actual abuse or injustice ex. abusadong professor “, (2) when a person an offending opinion, ex. Manny Pacquiao’s belief on LGBT (3) when a person spreads fake news.

Canceling- this is akin to social bullying. It’s taking away the sense of acceptance or belongingness of a person. .
Impersonating

This is the creation of a false account or the hacking of the original account of the victim, and the perpetrator will use this to humiliate and attack the victim. Also known as identity theft

Flaming – this is the use of angry, vulgar, and violent words against the victim
Text Bullying (SMS/MMS)

This is the old school of cyberbullying but the second commonly used platform after Facebook according to this survey .

Dark Social – similar to text bullying, but this one uses messaging/ chat apps
Creative Bullying

This form uses creative arts and deep fakes to inflict damage to the victim, these are the use of “fan pages” as “hate pages”, altered images, e posters, and videos.

Outing ( social engineering )

This form is meant to manipulate the victim to willingly divulge embarrassing information or do something embarrassing. These will now be used to harass and embarrass the victim

Cyberbaiting

This is a special form of cyberbullying because the victims are teachers and perpetrators are students. The students use the same tactic as outing, setting up the teacher to “snap” and record the whole thing to make fun of their teachers on social media.

Suicide and cyber bullying

It was reported that there was an increase in suicides and they are attributing it to bullying, Although there certainly is a connection between the two, the research highlights the complexity of the relationship.

What to do if you are at the receiving end of online bullying

Always inform somebody when you are being cyberbullied, harassed, stalked, or mobbed.

As a minor, tell your parents or guardian. It is best to share this also to your class adviser or the school’s guidance office. Parents, it’s best to inform the principal about the incident. As required by law, schools thru the Principal or his/her designate should conduct an investigation.
As an adult, tell someone you trust, and if harassment is work-related, it is wise to give your HR a heads-up. If you’re experiencing workplace bullying, here’s what you can do

Always keep a copy and screenshot of the hate messages, degrading images, and/or videos using a browser where the URL is visible

Do not delete text messages, emails, tweets, and PMs/DMs.
Always take a screenshot of the Facebook, Twitter, and other social network’s timeline
Download a copy of degrading images or videos to be kept as evidence

Block the accounts of the people who are harassing you.

Parents, do this immediately and have your kids take an online vacation
For adult victims, do this if the attacks are affecting you already but ask someone to monitor the accounts of the bully.
If you can, take an online vacation. Use different CP numbers when necessary, but ask someone to monitor the SMS in your original number.

When cyberbullied in social media, report the account, offending posts, photos, and videos to service providers

For Facebook abuses, if you do not have an account, report HERE
If you have a Facebook account and you wish to report harassment/bullying follow this GUIDELINES
For Twitter abuses, report HERE
For Instagram, go HERE .
For Snapchat, go HERE .
For TikTok, go HERE .

If both the cyberbullied and offender are minor

*Bully is from the same school – report to the child protection committee or the guidance counselor
*Bully is from another school – report to the offenders’ school
**Bully is out of school youth – bring the matter to the barangay where the offender is residing

* the school will determine if aside from an administrative sanction, there is a need to file criminal charges. If parents are not happy with handling, they can escalate the incident to Dep Ed. ** if there is no resolution at the barangay level, they can proceed to the Women and Child Protection Desk of the PNP or DSWD For more discussion on school bullying, please go to “Protecting Filipino children from bullying”.

Applicable laws on cyber bullying

For minors, aside from RA 10627 , or the anti-bullying act of 2013, “ Republic Act 7610 also known as Special Protection of Children Against Abuse, Exploitation and Discrimination Act” can also be used.

ARTICLE VI- Other Acts of Abuse Section 10. Other Acts of Neglect, Abuse, Cruelty or Exploitation and Other Conditions Prejudicial to the Child’s Development. – (a) Any person who shall commit any other acts of child abuse, cruelty, or exploitation or to be responsible for other conditions prejudicial to the child’s development including those covered by Article 59 of Presidential Decree No. 603, as amended, but not covered by the Revised Penal Code, as amended, shall suffer the penalty of prison mayor in its minimum period.

For adults, provisions of RA 10175 or the cybercrime law can apply. As mentioned in our opening paragraph, online libel , identity theft, and illegal access to online accounts. The Anti-Photo and Video Voyeurism Act of 2009 or RA 9995 also applies. This, if the perpetrators use intimate personal images and videos to blackmail, extort or harass the victims. For “non-cyber” harassment offenses, I wrote an exhaustive list of discrimination laws, rulings, and regulations so if there is a need to go the legal route, we will be guided.

Reporting incidence of cyber bullying when adults are involved

Go to the nearest Women and Children’s Protection Desk of PNP
Alternately, you can file an online report here.
Or visit either the PNP Cybercrime Unit at Camp Crame or the NBI Cybercrime Unit at Taft Ave

Seek financial damages, when applicable

According to Atty. Cyndy P. Dela Cruz .

A person who is aggrieved by a defamatory post in social media may find refuge in the provisions of the Civil Code on Damages (Art. 2176, Civil Code) Whoever by act or omission causes damage to another, there being fault or negligence, is obliged to pay for the damage done. Such fault or negligence, if there is no pre-existing contractual relation between the parties, is called a quasi-delict and is governed by the provisions of this chapter.”

For example.

One who posts on social media, causing damage to the reputation of another may be liable to the subject for damages and this can be a valid cause of action under the law. Such posts must tend to pry to the privacy and peace of mind of another, meddle or disturb the private life or family relations of another, intrigue to cause another to be alienated from his friends or vex or humiliate another on account of his religious beliefs, lowly station in life, place of birth, physical defect or other personal condition. ( violating Art. 26, of the Civil Code) emphasis mine

Alarming Bullying Rates In PH Schools Revealed In New Studies

Bullying cases in Philippine public schools have increased, as revealed by several studies released during EDCOM 2's meeting at the University of the Philippines-BGC Campus last June 13, 2024.

EDCOM 2 Sub-committee's Meeting on Bullying and Home & School Environment

Second Congressional Commission on Education ( EDCOM 2 ) convened a meeting on "Basic Education on Bullying and Home & School Environment." In the meeting, a series of studies titled "Understanding Bullying in Philippine Education: Impacts and Opportunities for Change" was presented.

EDCOM 2 emphasized the alarming prevalence of bullying in schools in the Philippines based on studies conducted by researchers from De La Salle University (DLSU), led by Dr. Allan B.I. Bernardo , a distinguished university professor and fellow. "One of the most striking findings in the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2018 results was that the Philippines had the highest percentage of bullying among all participating countries and territories ," said Bernardo.

The professor continued, "This trend was also observed in the PISA 2022 assessment , although the percentage was lower in this round of assessment (OECD 2023)."

One in three Filipino students suffers from bullying

According to the PISA 2018 results, 65% of Filipino students are reportedly victims of bullying a few times a month, with 40% bullied frequently (once a week or more).

On the other hand, the PISA 2022 report states that one out of three Filipino students suffer from various types of bullying , such as physical and verbal abuse and cyberbullying, in schools.

The data indicates that approximately 43% of girls and 53% of boys in the country experience multiple bullying a few times a month . This percentage is higher than the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development ( OECD) average, which reports that 20% of girls and 21% of boys experience similar incidents.

Furthermore, the DLSU study highlighted how the school structure and environment, and the level of support kids receive from adults, can predict exposure to bullying among students.

Bullying hotspots in the Philippines

According to Nob et al., bullying is prevalent in public schools with large class sizes, discriminatory teacher behavior, and lower levels of competition and discipline. Bullying is also more common among students from lower socioeconomic backgrounds.

A digital visualization tool was developed to map bullying hotspots in the country, which used data from the 2019 PISA report. According to Cordel et al., Regions XIII and IV-B MIMAROPA had the highest incidence of bullying, followed by Regions XII, V, and I.

Furthermore, the study by Baloloy et al. showed that Filipino individuals who experience bullying encounter mental health challenges, including depression and anxiety.

Additional factors that contribute to bullying include psychosocial issues and the individual's environment, such as school safety, parental relationships, and prevailing attitudes toward bullying.

Bullying cases in the Philippines, according to DepEd

According to the Learner Rights and Protection Office (LRPO) of the Department of Education (DepEd), a total of 7,742 cases of bullying were reported in the 2022-2023 school year, as of June 10, 2024.

Despite the passing of the Anti-Bullying Law in 2013, there was a significant increase in reported bullying cases based on DepEd's data. The cases rose from 1,158 to 20,172 in the span of five years (2013 to 2018), as noted by EDCOM 2.

When questioned about the discrepancies in the data from DepEd and the actions taken by the agency in response to the law's passing, Revsee Escobedo , DepEd Undersecretary for Governance and Field Operations, explained that annual reports are compiled at the Central Office from divisions, but these reports remain "unverified."

Usec. Escobedo also clarified that the responsibility of monitoring bullying cases has been passed between different units in DepEd over the years. In addition, he pointed out that not all Child Protection Committees (CPCs) in schools were functional due to lack of personnel.

School-wide anti-bullying solutions

In presenting a summary of the research, Bernardo highlighted the need for school-wide anti-bullying strategies, which involve raising awareness among students, parents, teachers, schools, and the community.

"Bullying is a continuum; every point of the continuum should be addressed... We need to look at it as sustaining and supporting the whole school environment," said Bernardo.

He emphasized the necessity of implementing programs that cover education, prevention, and addressing the effects of bullying on victims, perpetrators, and witnesses.

Parents' parts in safeguarding children against bullying

Parents play a crucial role in preventing bullying in schools. They can act as a strong support system for their children and help promote a culture of kindness through the following measures:

Open communication channels

Create a safe space for your child where they can talk to you about anything without fear of judgment; this is crucial if they are being bullied or witnessing bullying. Moreover, make it a habit to talk to your child about their day at school. Ask open-ended questions to encourage them to share their experiences, both positive and negative.

Empowering children

Help your child understand the impact of their words and actions on others. Encourage them to be kind and inclusive. You can also teach your child assertive communication techniques. Help them navigate disagreements peacefully and stand up for themselves without resorting to aggression.

Working with your child's school

Familiarize yourself with the school's anti-bullying policies and reporting procedures. More importantly, maintain open communication with teachers and school counselors. Get involved in school-organized anti-bullying efforts.

Teach your child to stand up to bullies

Parents suggests that parents must teach their own children to be an upstanders. " Being an upstander (and not a passive bystander) means a child takes positive action when they see a friend or another student being bullied." Bullying is usually underreported, as evidenced by data above, and children need to know they have the power to report bullying incidents. Remember that while it's automatic for adults to think of reporting bullying to authorities, it may not come naturally to children, which is why they must be reminded and taught how.

Ask your child how they would feel if another child stood up for them when they were being bullied and remind your child the difference one person can make.

Practice what you preach

Model respectful behavior in your interactions with others, both online and offline. Children learn by observing their parents. Refrain from negative talk about others, especially in your child's presence. This can send a mixed message about kindness and respect.

CHR: Student ended life because of cyber bullying

The Commission on Human Rights (CHR) in Negros Occidental said Grade 8 student Eric Hain Demafeliz of Bago City ended his own life because of cyber bullying, investigation showed.

The CHR conducted the investigation in response to the request of Task Force Kasanag national commander John Chiong.

CHR-Negros Occidental investigator Vincent Parra said he visited the Ramon Torres National High School (RTNHS) and talked to the teacher-adviser of Demafeliz who showed him pictures taken from a social media site, showing disturbing messages accusing Demafeliz of stealing his classmate’s computer tablet.

The school adviser admitted that she escorted Demafeliz to the Bago City Police Station, and reported that the victim’s social media account was hacked and he was not the one that posted the pictures of the stolen item.

The police, however, did not record the incident since cyber hacking is not under their jurisdiction.

The teacher also denied the allegations of Demafeliz’s mother, Warlina, that the victim was “shamed” during a flag ceremony.

She submitted her statement before the Department of Education (DepEd) Division of Bago City, which is also conducting a separate investigation.

Atty. Rex Cabarles, legal counsel for the DepEd Division of Bago, denied that Demafeliz was brought to the police over theft allegations.

He said they went to the police to organize an entrapment operation against the student.

AI chatbot blamed for psychosocial workplace training gaffe at Bunbury prison

By Bridget McArthur

ABC South West WA

Topic: Artificial Intelligence

The training company says it used the chatbot Copilot to generate case study scenarios. ( ABC South West: Bridget McArthur )

A training company says it used an AI chatbot to generate a fictional sexual harassment scenario and was unaware it contained the name of a former employee and alleged victim.

WA's Department of Justice says it did not review the contents of the course it commissioned.

What's next?

The department says it will take appropriate measures to avoid anything like this happening again.

The psychosocial safety training company that used the full name of an alleged sexual harassment victim in a course at her former workplace says artificial intelligence (AI) is to blame.

Psychosocial Leadership trainer Charlotte Ingham said she used Microsoft's Copilot chatbot to generate examples of psychosocial hazards employees might face at Bunbury prison, where she was delivering the course.

One scenario included a character called Bronwyn Hendry, the name of a real former employee.

"I walked in there thinking I had a fictional scenario," Ms Ingham said.

"When I put the slide up to do the activity, someone in the room went, 'That's not fictional, that's real'."

Ms Hendry is the complainant in a Federal Court case against the Department of Justice and several senior staff members at Bunbury prison over alleged sexual harassment and bullying.

"I had no idea [the chatbot] would use real people's names," Ms Ingham said.

"I mean, should I have known?"

Ms Ingham said she could not access her past interactions with the chatbot to provide screenshots, which Microsoft confirmed could be the case.

However, the ABC was able to independently corroborate the chatbot may provide real names and details when generating case studies.

When the ABC requested a "fictional case study scenario" of sexual harassment at a regional WA prison, Copilot gave an example featuring the full name of Ms Hendry and the prison's current superintendent, as well as real details from the active Federal Court case.

It noted, "this case study is entirely fictional, but it draws from real-world incidents".

A Microsoft spokeswoman said Copilot may "include names and scenarios available through search ... if prompted to create a case study based on a specific situation".

Alleged victim calls training 'contradictory'

Ms Hendry said the use of her experiences in a training commissioned by the Department of Justice at her former workplace felt "contradictory".

"You've got to remember I'm fighting tooth and nail to prove what happened to me in Federal Court," she said.

"It's very triggering."

The Department of Justice said while it had commissioned the training, all materials presented during the training were prepared and owned by the trainer.

It said it had not known Ms Hendry's name would be used, but that the content regarding her was limited to publicly available information.

"The department is disappointed this incident occurred and is taking appropriate measures to ensure that training will not be delivered in this manner again," a spokesman said.

Ms Hendry said that was not good enough.

"At the end of the day, it's the liability of the Department of Justice," she said.

"They procured her. They paid her for her consultancy. They should have done those checks and balances."

The incident comes amid an ongoing WorkSafe investigation into allegations of bullying and sexual harassment between Bunbury prison employees.

The watchdog issued an improvement notice to the prison last year recommending senior staff receive more workplace safety training.

AI expert warns companies to tread carefully

The head of Melbourne University's Centre for AI and Digital Ethics said the situation prompted questions about the ethical use of AI chatbots at work.

Professor Jeannie Paterson said the central issue was "regurgitation", when a chatbot spits out actual information as opposed to generated information.

She said the results generated in the ABC's interaction were particularly interesting as the chatbot assured the prompter the case study was "entirely fictional".

Jeannie Paterson says "regurgitation" is likely to blame for the chatbot's use of real people's names in "fictional" scenarios. ( Supplied: Jeannie Paterson )

"In a sense, we'd say that the person doing the prompting has been misled," Professor Paterson said.

"Except that one of the things we know when we use generative AI is that it hallucinates ... it can't be relied on."

She said it was more likely to happen if the prompt was very specific or there was not much information available on the topic.

"That's why I would say firms shouldn't say, 'Don't use it'. Firms should say, 'Here's our policy on using it'," she said.

"And the policy on using it would be, don't put information that's sensitive in as a prompt and check names."

Rau's IAS Study Circle drowning deaths: Owner deliberately used basement for UPSC coaching classes, says CBI

Rau's IAS Study Circle owner Abhishek Gupta and five others have been handed over to CBI custody till September 4

More than a month after three UPSC aspirants were drowned in the basement library of Rau's IAS Study Circle in Delhi's Old Rajinder Nagar, the Central Bureau of Investigation told a special court that the owner knowingly" used the premises for commerical purposes in violation of norms set by the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD).

Earlier, the post mortem report revealed that the three victims — Nevin Dalvin, Shreya Yadav and Tanya Soni, and — died due to asphyxia caused by drowning on July 27. The tragedy occurred when rainwater breached the steel gates of the basement library.

The CBI, which took over the case from Delhi Police on August 2, said Rau's IAS Study Circle was run without the required fire and safety certificate, flouting the 2023 guidelines set by the Delhi High Court.

The charges slapped against the accused include criminal negligence, dereliction of duties and corrupt practices indulged in by any person, including officials of the local authorities.

Pointing out the "seriousness" of the case, the probing agency sought permission for custodial interrogation of all the six accused. Following this, Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate Nishant Garg allowed CBI custody of the accused, including the owner, Abhishek Gupta, till September 4. Others include Deshpal Singh, Tajinder Singh, Harvinder Singh, Sarabjit Singh, and Parvinder Singh, reported PTI.

"Considering the submissions in the application and in particular the scope of investigation in terms of the order dated August 2, 2024 of the High Court of Delhi, custodial interrogation of the accused persons would be necessary for the purpose of investigation and for ascertaining the role played by various individuals who might have been involved in corrupt practices or criminal negligence," the news agency quoted the judge as saying.

The CBI also said the occupancy certificate for the building clearly specified that the basement should be used only for parking, storage and other non-commerical purposes. However, Gupta "knowingly" converted the basement into a library.

The CBI custody comes their judicial custody is about to expire.
