LEA SALONGA
ISA si Lea Salonga sa mga celebrities na galit na galit sa insidente ng bullying sa Ateneo de Manila University Junior High School.
Sa Facebook idinaan ng Broadway star ang kanyang saloobin sa isyu, “There has been so much posted online regarding the bullying incident inside the boys’ rest room of the Ateneo de Manila junior high school.
“Plenty of inflamed netizens have reacted, and lamented the seeming indifference of school officials due to the supposed well-connectedness of this boy’s parents.
“I think we all agree that the school needs to take much swifter action with regards to this boy’s pattern of behavior (there are allegedly more victims, and more videos), as well as with this boy’s accomplices, and that the bully’s parents need to come down hard on their kid. On that, we have common ground.”
Hirit pa ni Lea, “For the victims, here’s one piece of advice: don’t be defenseless anymore. Parents, it might be a good idea to enroll your child in a self-defense class (aside from TKD, there’s jiu jitsu and karate, as well as other forms of martial arts that might be fun as well as useful).
“So that when a little s*** bully tries to mess with your son or daughter, you’re already ahead of the game. But never instigate; only defend. And yes, Ateneo de Manila. We are all watching.”
