“…This prevalence rate is comparable to two Lai et al (2008). The discrepancy in prevalence rate of the four studies could be attributed to the time range by which bullying involvement was measured.…”

“…In the Philippines, two studies conducted by foreign researchers in 2008 showed different results. In one study, the prevalence rate was 35.5% (Rudatsikira, Mataya, Siziya, & Muula, 2008) while in another it was 85.5% (Lai et al, 2008). However, in a research conducted by Fleming and Jacobsen (2009) involving 19 low and middle income countries in which Philippines was included, prevalence rate in the country was only 37.1%, or a lot closer to that found by Rudatsikira et al (2008).…”

“…The discrepancy in prevalence rate of the four studies could be attributed to the time range by which bullying involvement was measured. For example, in Lai et al (2008), participants were asked to report their lifetime experience in bullying, whereas in the other three including the current study, it was only within a year.…”

“…In Asia-Pacific, the most common type of school bullying was verbal, e.g., "being made fun of" or "being called names" (Chen, 2015;Lai, Ye, & Chang, 2008). A similar study in South America also found verbal bullying as the most pervasive school bullying experience of youngsters (Silva, Pereira, Mendonca, Nunes, & de Oliveira, 2013).…”

“…With regard to gender differences in school bullying experience, several studies have shown that boys were more involved as perpetrators and victims than do girls (Berger, 2007;Caravita, Gini, & Pozzoli, 2012;Cosma & Baban, 2013;Jansen et al, 2012;Khamis, 2015;Siann, Callaghan, Glissov, Lockhart, & Rawson, 2006;Silva et al, 2013;Tayli, 2013;Wang et al, 2009;Wu et al, 2015) and were more likely to be victims of direct form of bullying such as physical fights (Cheng et al, 2010;Jansen et al, 2012;Lai et al, 2008;Shujja et al, 2014;Silva et al, 2013;Uwusu et al, 2011) while girls were more likely to experience relational bullying (Cheng et al, 2010;Silva et al, 2013).…”

This research looked into prevalence rate of bullying victimization and perpetration as well as teachers' response to bullying incidence in the Philippines. A total of 340 sixth graders from five different schools in Western Visayas participated in the study. Slightly more than half (54.1%) of the sample were boys and 45.9% were girls. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze data gathered from the survey. Children's self-reports revealed that prevalence rate for victimization was 40.6% and that for perpetration was 23.8%. Similar to previous literature, results also showed that there were significantly more boys than girls who reported to be victims (χ verbal reprimands, temporary removal from class, withdrawal of privileges, and suspension, which were imposed on individuals involved in bullying as bullies. Although all teachers and school personnel were required to report bullying cases they had knowledge of to the child protection committee in their institution, very few did so. These findings suggest the need for a more effective bullying prevention program and a careful examination of the implementing rules and guidelines of RA 10627, otherwise known as the Anti-Bullying Act of 2013.
