MANILA, Philippines — The Commission on Human Rights has called out Sen. Robinhood “Robin” Padilla for his remarks that suggested students can tolerate “slight” physical bullying compared to verbal or emotional insults.

 

In a statement Tuesday, the human rights body said bullying in whatever form or degree should not be allowed as it can harm a child’s development and well-being.

 

“CHR expresses concern over statements that tolerate any form of bullying. Whether physical or mental, regardless of perceived effect or lack thereof, bullying should never be condoned,” the commission said.
