00:00 In other news, a student is being investigated for the death of an antipolarizal.
00:06 A few days after he was attacked by his teacher.
00:10 This is the news of Bam Alegre.
00:12 A grade 5 student died yesterday morning in a hospital in Marikina.
00:18 He was in a coma for a few days in the intensive care unit of the hospital.
00:22 He was brought to the hospital after he suffered a head injury.
00:25 At the age of 14, Francis J. contacted his mother before he was brought back to life.
00:30 His teacher asked him about his education in Barangay Kupang Antipolarizal.
00:34 My son said, "Teacher, teacher, they are noisy."
00:39 My son said, "Teacher, do you want to join?"
00:45 "Yes," said the teacher.
00:47 When he sat down, the teacher pulled him in his uniform.
00:51 When he was pulled in his uniform, he was stabbed.
00:56 He was stabbed.
00:58 His Filipino subject teacher was attacked on September 20.
01:02 After that, he did not lose his head injury, particularly his right ear.
01:07 Francis J. lost his balance and suffered a concussion.
01:11 On September 26, he was taken to the hospital and was later in a coma.
01:15 A follow-up investigation was conducted by the police.
01:18 They were able to talk to the teacher who was being complained about,
01:21 as well as some witnesses who were classed as victims.
01:24 The teacher said that he was not stabbed,
01:29 but the action he did when he was pulled in his uniform was to stab the child.
01:36 According to the children, he was held in his clothes, then in his hair, and then he was stabbed.
01:46 Francis' mother also went to school one day after the child was stabbed.
01:50 The child's homeroom advisor was the one who talked to the mother,
01:53 not the teacher who was being complained about.
01:55 According to the advisor, he thought that Francis' mother would return to school,
01:59 but the child was hospitalized.
02:01 Since the incident happened on September 20, the teacher was not able to be warrantless arrested.
02:06 The case should be submitted to the regular filing of the case, according to the police.
02:10 They will not be allowed to enter our time frame.
02:13 There were many interventions that happened after September 20 as compared to October 2.
02:20 But definitely, we will be filing a complaint of homicide in relation to Republic Act 7610.
02:29 We are just waiting for the medical, legal, and autopsy report from the hospital.
02:34 According to the Department of Education, the situation was informed by the superintendent of Antipolo.
02:38 They will also conduct their own investigation of the DepEd Central Office.
02:42 This is the news, Bamalegre, of GMA Integrated News.
02:46 These kinds of stories are really heavy, especially involving children and teachers.
02:53 So, let's know the update on the investigation of the assault of a grade 5 student after his teacher stabbed him.
03:02 I have just been informed by Master Sergeant Divina Rafael of Antipolo City Police Women's and Children's Desk.
03:08 Good morning and welcome to my news.
03:11 Good morning.
03:12 What is the latest on the case, ma'am?
03:15 Has the teacher explained to the police?
03:18 Yesterday, ma'am, we did a follow-up investigation.
03:25 The teacher who was talking to your staff personally said that the child was stabbed.
03:31 Okay.
03:32 What did he say? Was the cause of death also seen in his death certificate?
03:39 Did you also say this to the teacher?
03:42 Yes, ma'am.
03:45 Because when we came to the hospital yesterday, when we declared that the child died,
03:50 we saw that there was blood in his brain and hemorrhage.
03:58 Yes.
03:59 Did you mention this to the teacher?
04:01 Yes, ma'am.
04:02 What was his reaction?
04:04 He explained that his hand touched the child's face.
04:13 He said that the incident was not that serious.
04:19 But in the series of events, the assault happened on September 20,
04:25 then on September 26, he was taken to the hospital and yesterday, he was brought back to life.
04:32 In the series of events, is there a connection or a connection to the cause of death?
04:38 That's what I will find out, ma'am, when the results of the autopsy are released.
04:45 Yes.
04:46 And when we file a case, when it is brought to court,
04:52 the doctor who examined the child will also testify and explain to the court what is the cause of death of the child.
05:13 If there is a connection to the so-called cause of death of the teacher.
05:21 Master Sergeant, is it formal to file a complaint against the parents of the child or will you wait for your investigation?
05:29 The parents have decided to file a complaint.
05:35 Now, we will just complete the necessary documents and the witnesses' testimonies, sir.
05:42 What is the possibility of the teacher being charged with assault?
05:46 Sir, that's what happened because the victim admitted that he will be charged with homicide.
05:53 Homicide in relation to RA 7610 committed by a minor.
05:58 What is the status of the teacher? He is monitored and he is in contact with you.
06:03 The last thing I can confirm is that when I went to the school yesterday, he was in custody of their principal.
06:12 In these cases, what is the SOP that the parents or guardians should do?
06:17 The school should be prepared for these incidents so that they can take action immediately.
06:21 Should the police or the principal be prepared?
06:25 What is the SOP for the parents and the students if they are injured?
06:31 If someone is injured, shouldn't the teachers be called the second parents of the children when they are in school?
06:42 In that situation, I saw that there was no lack because the parents also went to school.
06:52 I hope that it will be clear that the teacher and the parents of the child did not confront each other.
07:01 This also goes under the Women and Children's Protection Act.
07:07 Ma'am?
07:10 In RA 7610, ma'am.
07:13 Yes, it also goes under that.
07:14 Yes.
07:15 Okay, so that's our announcement for the next cases.
07:19 We will be waiting for your case. Thank you very much.
07:22 Yes, thank you very much.
07:24 This is Master Sergeant Davina Rafael of Antipolo City Police Women's and Children's Desk.
07:28 This is very sad news. We will be updated on the death of a Grade 5 student after his teacher hit him.
07:40 The school division superintendent of Antipolo visited the school and there is live news about Jonathan Andal.
07:47 Jonathan?
07:49 Connie, Rafi went to Peña Francia Elementary School in Antipolo City.
07:56 The school division superintendent of the school visited the school to find information about the death of a Grade 5 student after his teacher hit him.
08:07 The DepEd Antipolo did not give details about what happened and who they talked to.
08:14 They also did not comment on the details of the case and they hope that they will respect their duty of confidentiality.
08:21 What they can say now is that a fact-finding investigation team will be formed from the DepEd Central.
08:27 We tried to enter the school to interview the principal and the teacher who was being accused.
08:32 But the guard said that he cannot be here.
08:35 But this morning, we were able to interview the principal, Mark Makalalad, who is with Superadio.
08:40 Based on the explanation of the teacher, he did not really hit him.
08:44 He just pinched the child's chest.
08:48 According to the Antipolo Police, the 14-year-old student, Francis J. Domica, was one of the victims of an autopsy.
08:55 Connie, Rafi?
08:57 Thank you very much, Jonathan Andal.
