A grade 7 student ended up with a "blackeye" after being punched by a schoolmate.

According to a report by GMA 7's 'Unang Balita,' the bullying incident took place in a school located in Mangaldan, Pangasinan.

The situation began when the victim's classmates started bullying him; they even called other students from a different section, and one of them allegedly punched the victim.

It was reported that there were no teachers around when it happened since it took place during their breaktime.

After learning the incident, the victim's parents rushed to the school. While the school's admin summoned the parents of the kids who were involved in the incident.

In the Philippines, bullying in school can have serious and lasting effects on students.

Victims of bullying often experience emotional distress, including fear, anxiety, low self-esteem, and depression.

It can also lead to poor academic performance because students may lose focus, skip classes, or avoid school altogether due to fear of being harmed or humiliated.

In some cases, bullying may even lead to self-harm or suicidal thoughts.

On the other hand, those who bully others are also at risk of developing aggressive behavior, lack of empathy, and problems with authority later in life.

The overall school environment is affected as well, creating a climate of fear and disrespect that can disrupt learning for everyone.

That is why schools, parents, and communities are encouraged to take immediate action and follow the Anti-Bullying Act of 2013 to ensure a safe and supportive environment for all students.

Caught by CCTV, three men entered their store, closed the roll-up door, and shot the entire family to death. Before fleeing, one of the suspects even grabbed a bag and a mobile phone from the victim. In a report by Gary De Leon of TV 5's 'Frontline Pilipinas,' the family started getting threats after lending P1-M to one of the residents of their barangay; allegedly using the money for business.

In another viral local report, a 51-year-old public school teacher in Las Piñas City was stabbed multiple times by her own husband. According to the report of EJ Gomez in 'Unang Balita,' the 38-year-old suspect committed the crime inside the school's faculty room. Police authorities said the school has a security guard, but, being a familiar face in the school, the suspect managed to easily get in and out of the school. The suspect said he was there to talk to his wife and settle their misunderstanding, but unfortunately, it led to a big arguement.
