We extend our concern to those who were directly affected, including the families of those who lost their lives and those who continue to recover. We hope they are met with safety, care, and compassion in the days ahead.

In responding to school violence, our focus must extend beyond the immediate incident - and beyond blame.

School violence is complex. There is rarely one cause, one explanation, or one solution. Prevention is a shared responsibility—across families, schools, communities, mental health professionals, child protection systems, institutions, and policymakers.

Prevention means strengthening protection, recognizing concerns early, supporting young people, building safer environments, and responding responsibly when violence occurs.

Our responsibility also extends to how we respond and what we share. In moments of tragedy, pause before posting or forwarding. Avoid sharing graphic photos or videos, unverified information, rumors, or speculation. Protect the privacy and dignity of students, families, and communities affected.

What we share can either contribute to further distress or help create a safer, more respectful space for recovery.

We invite everyone to read the Psychological Association of the Philippines’ full statement:

“School Violence: Understanding Risk, Prevention, and Well-Being Among Children and Adolescents.”

FROM CWC: Sa bawat balita at bawat share, tandaan: may katotohanang kailangang sabihin, ngunit ang mga bata ay kailangan din protektahan.
Hindi lang accuracy o pagiging tama ang mahalaga sa pag-uulat o pagbabahagi ng post tungkol sa mga batang nasasangkot sa mga insidente.
Mahalaga rin ang kanilang dignity, agency, privacy, participation, and sensitivity.
Dahil sa bawat post, may buhay na maaaring maapektuhan. Mag-ingat tayo sa pagbabahagi ng impormasyon lalo na kapag may kinalaman sa bata.
