Barely three weeks ago when Ateneo De Manila University (ADMU) Men’s
Basketball team was the toast of the town, for defending their championship to
a worthy opponent the University of the Philippines fighting maroons.
But this time ADMU is in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons- an unabated
bullying by one of its high school student.

Department of Foreign Affairs Teddy Boy Locsin Jr. weighs on the issue and gave an unsolicited advise on the parents
of the alleged victim to “take the law
in their own hands,” explaining that the aggressor kid should be given a dose
of his own medicine.
Locsin in his twitter post said, "The
parents of the bullied kid should take the law in their own hands. The only way
to teach a bully is to beat him senseless. Psychiatric help? He should get
traction."
The Foreign secretary is reacting to the statement of Senator Juan Victor
Ejercito when he suggested psychiatric help for the child "given the numerous times he has been involved in
bullying other kids."
In his reply to
that comment Locsin said, "would have been awesome if he happened to bully
a better fighter and got his ass handed to him," he answered, "No,
better when, say, sugar cane workers come in from Negros and beat the shit out
of the bully in front of a sioki school that is still investigating instead of
beating the crap out of him like Christian Brothers did. Ass handed to
him, my foot."
The Philippines
top diplomat said bullies will better learn their lesson when beaten instead of
being babied.
"The
bullied kid may be haunted by this abuse. Jesus, what's the world coming to
when bullies are babied instead of beaten," Locsin said.
ADMU has
released a statement that it is investigating the incident. Malacanang when
asked to comment on the incident said Republic Act No. 10627 or the
Anti-Bullying Act metes out necessary penalties to those found guilty of
bullying.

That's true. When I was about to be bullied I faced him head on. We ended up equal in terms of strength. He stopped bullying and not long after we became friends. It's just a matter of showing him that his measure will not be effective to feed his ego hence he approached the other way around. He got a friend instead.
