For some time now, there has been talk about implementing measures to curb bullying and deadly violence in schools. Two months into the new school year, however, the measures are still awaited in many areas.

This month in Balabagan, Lanao del Sur, a teenage senior high school student shot dead his teacher who had given him a failing grade in an exam. Danilo Barba died inside the campus of the Balabagan Trade School after being shot with a caliber .45 pistol. The killer went into hiding, but surrendered the next day with the help of his brother, a policeman.
