He clarified though that the apology does not mean that they could just let it pass. He underscored that one could not just say that it was "katuwaan" and simply let the person concerned go scot-free, and treat it as if nothing happened.

"Again hindi naman natin pupuwedeng sabihin na yung lahat ng mga bagay basta katuwaan lang ay palalampasin po natin," said Basas.

Basas commended the school where the teacher in the viral video was working, primarily for its quick action in the investigation of the issue.

He said that the discipline committee of the school was immediatley gathered and the issue with the teacher was discussed.
