3 Philippine Laws You Can Turn To Protect And Defend Your Child Against Cyberbullying

Cyberbullying, defined by Merriam-Webster as "the electronic posting of mean-spirited messages about a person (such as a student) often done anonymously," was known to have been used for the first time in 1998. Since then, along with the advancement of technology, cyberbullying cases escalated, thus the need to address the problem with, for instance, law of cyberbullying in the Philippines.

How cyberbullying affects children

In a survey made in 2015 and released the following year, the child-care nonprofit Stairway Foundation Inc. shared these alarming findings among the respondents made up of 1,268 school children aged 7 to 12 and 1,143 aged 13 to 16:

• 80% of teenagers aged 13 to 16 have been cyberbullied through social media
• 60% of children aged 7 to 12 suffered cyberbullying through social media
• 30% of children aged 7 to 12 and 40 percent of 13 to 16 were aware of peers who endured cyberbullying
• 3 out of 10 children aged 7 to 12 were bullied through threats
• 2 were oppressed through photo editing
• 1 was humiliated or had their private conversations exposed
• 3 were either excluded or impersonated through fake accounts

The survey also showed that if pressed, only 60 percent of children aged 7 to 12 would confide to their parents. Meanwhile, merely 34 percent of 13 to 16-year-olds would tell their mothers or fathers of their negative experiences.

Moreover, 14 percent of pre-pubescent children preferred to talk to their friends about their online problems, 6 percent would head for their siblings, 5 percent would seek their teachers, and 15 percent would never talk to anyone.

Among the teenagers surveyed, 33 percent said they would confide in their friends, 10 percent would talk to their siblings, only one percent would seek their teachers, and 22 percent would rather keep quiet.

Additionally, only 50 percent of children aged 7-12 and 40 percent of children aged 13 to 16 said they are comfortable with letting their parents know about their online activities.

That's why it pays to be attentive to and observant of your child, according to experts. Here are some signs that they may be suffering from a form of bullying, including cyberbullying:

1. Changes in behavior

Take note if your child is suddenly reluctant to go to school or doesn’t want to join the kids who used to be their playmates. Changes in their mood and behavior at home suggest there is something wrong.

2. Psychosomatic signs

Children who are being victimized may complain of headaches and stomach aches, especially in the morning. Young children may become clingy with their parents, whereas older children tend to isolate themselves.

3. Isolation

Staying most of the time inside their room when they usually mingle with their siblings can be a red flag of bullying. Their room has been their sanctuary, and they feel protected and secured if they stay in there.

Law of cyberbullying in the Philippines

If your child says that they are being bullied, believe them and never discount what they’re going through. You may also consult a lawyer on what action you can take to protect and defend your child. Lawyer Cyndy P. dela Cruz  listed down the legal implications of bullying under Philippine Laws in an article originally published in Business World .

The Anti-Bullying Act of 2013 (RA 10627)

This law applies to school-related bullying, specifically involving students and including instances done on social media.

Bullying, as defined in Sec. 2, "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."

In Sec. 2-D, cyberbullying refers to those acts committed online, including social bullying. Examples, as listed in Sec-3, B-1 (Implementing Rules), include belittling another individual or group or gender-based bullying that humiliates another on the basis of perceived or actual sexual orientation and gender identity.

The Revised Penal Code and the Cybercrime Prevention Act

Art. 353 of this law states that "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."

Atty. dela Cruz explained that 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. citing Sec. 4(c-4), RA 10175. She added taht cyberlibel holds liable only the original author of the post (Sec. 5(3), Implementing Rules of RA 10175). Thus, likers or sharers of a post cannot be held liable under this law.

The lawyer also pointed out that slander may also be applicable to one who, in heat of anger, utters statements that are highly defamatory in character, citing 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), said Atty. dela Cruz. She added, "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)"

A Primer on Cyberbullying and related Philippine Laws

Atty. Emmanuel S. Caliwan, J.D.

A. Introduction

Republic Act 10627, or the Anti-Bullying Act (the “Act”), This law finds applicability in school-related bullying, student-student bullying in particular, which covers those uttered in social media. The law aims to protect children enrolled in kindergarten, elementary, and secondary schools, and learning centers (collectively, “Schools”) from being bullied. It requires schools to adopt policies to address the existence of bullying in their respective institutions.

B. Bullying and Cyberbullying

1. What is Bullying?

Most generally, the term bullying is equated to the concept of harassment, which is a form of unprovoked aggression often directed repeatedly toward another individual or group of individuals [1] .

Bullying, as defined under the Act, is 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; such as, but not limited to, the following:

· Any unwanted physical contact between the bully and the victim like punching, pushing, shoving, kicking, slapping, tickling, headlocks, inflicting school pranks, teasing, fighting, and the use of available objects as weapons;

· Any act that causes damage to a victim’s psyche and/or emotional well-being;

· Any slanderous statement or accusation that causes the victim undue emotional distress like directing foul language or profanity at the target, name-calling, tormenting and commenting negatively on victim’s looks, clothes, and body; and

· Cyber-bullying or any bullying done through the use of technology or any electronic means. The term shall also include any conduct resulting in harassment, intimidation, or humiliation, through the use of other forms of technology, such as but not limited to texting, email, instant messaging, chatting, internet, social media, online games, or other platforms or formats.

· Social bullying , or any deliberate, repetitive, and aggressive social behavior intended to hurt others or to belittle another individual or group.

· Gender-based bullying , or any act that humiliates or excludes a person on the basis of perceived or actual sexual orientation and gender identity.

Any person who commits any of the foregoing acts, (as enumerated above) is considered a bully .

Any act of retaliation against a person who reports bullying, who provides information during an investigation of bullying, or who is a witness to or has reliable information about bullying, is likewise prohibited. ( Whistle Blowing Provision )

2. Where may “traditional” forms of bullying be committed?

Bullying may happen at the following:

· School grounds;

· Property immediately adjacent to School grounds;

· School-sponsored or School-related activities, functions or programs whether on or off School grounds;

· School bus stops;

· School buses or other vehicles owned, leased or used by a School; or

· School buses or School services privately-owned but accredited by the School.

Bullying may also occur at unrelated locations, functions or programs, through the use of technology or an electronic device, or other forms of media, regardless if such is owned, leased, or used by the School. (Cyberbullying if done in cyberspace like social media platforms).

C. Cyberbullying in relation to the Revised Penal Code and the Cybercrime Prevention Act

1. What other Criminal Laws might be applicable in case/s of Cyberbullying?

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 that may be brought by the offended party. (Sec. 4(c-4), RA 10175).

Do note that 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 honor 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 on social media.

C. Cyberbullying in relation to the New Civil Code provision on Damages

1. Is there any Civil Law provision that might be applicable in case/s of Cyberbullying?

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).

D. Cyberbullying in relation to the Labor Code provision on Just Causes for Termination

1. Is Labor Law applicable in case/s of Cyberbullying done in the workplace?

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 honor, 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)

E. Cyberbullying in relation to the Philippine Constitution

The language of the 1987 Constitution is straightforward. Article III, Section 4 reads: “No law shall be passed abridging the freedom of speech, of expression, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble and petition the government for a redress of grievances.”

As stated, 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 matters rather than risk being held liable under the law.

Bullying has been experienced by generation after generation, but a recent form of this phenomenon is particular to the Internet age and the arrival of mobile telecommunications devices. Cyberbullying involves harmful or harassing communications that are made using cell phones, computers, or other similar devices, and which have the potential to be repeated through sharing messages with others who also use this technology. This study explored the effects of cyberbullying on the youth in Lahore. The study used the theoretical frameworks of the social cognitive approach from media studies. The main objective of the study was to examine the possible effects of cyberbullying on the youth and also examine the comparison between online bullying and text message bullying. Data was collected through a survey comprising 200 young adults (aged 18 to 25) in Lahore. Quantitative analysis of the data revealed that there is a strong relationship between cyberbullying and the youth. Continuous use of mobile phones and social networking websites negatively affect the youth and distort the relationship with their families; it also badly affects their health, education, and their psychological and emotional behaviour. The study found that there were no gender differences in the effect of cyberbullying through online and text messages by young people.

Title: Students’ Profile and Prevalence of Cyberbullying in Higher Education: Implications to the New Normal Learning

Journal: Couldn’t Find

URL: https://dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1145/3545862.3545896

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

Title: Prevalence of Cyberbullying and Addiction in Mobile Gaming among Tertiary Students in one University in the Philippines: An Ethical Discussion in the lens of Consequentialism.

Journal: 10th International Conference on Humanoid, Nanotechnology, Information Technology, Communication and Control, Environment and Management

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.

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.

Bullying affects children and adults at home, school, work and online, making victims feel trapped, isolated and alone. If you’ve ever been the victim of bullying, you need not suffer in silence. There are 3 helplines in Philippines where you can get the support and understanding you deserve. These are some common experiences of people being bullied:

• A popular or forceful person has told others not to be friends with you.
• You have been taunted, teased, threatened or harmed by others.
• You have been threatened or physically tripped, pushed, hit, kicked or spat at by someone.
• You have been repeatedly threatened or harmed by others.
• You have been trolled, insulted or humiliated on social media.
• Someone has made repeated negative comments about your appearance, culture, family, lifestyle or behaviour.
• Have you been publicly laughed at, taunted or purposely left out of groups and activities

There are countless ways in which bullies can victimise others. Some are public and overt, while others are private and covert. Although you might feel rejected, self-conscious and afraid, you are not alone. Bullying is never a true reflection of who you are, how you look, or your life’s potential.

The victims of bullying are always innocent, and bullying is never deserved. Although you may feel trapped, alone or incapable, there are people in Philippines who care and can provide you support. Helpline volunteers and counselors will offer you a listening ear and will work through difficult emotions with you.
