00:14 Everyone started to get mad when Francis J. Gumikib got angry at the Peña Francia Elementary School in Antipolo City
00:24 because of the noise of the students on September 21.
00:28 My son said, "Teacher, teacher, they are making noise."
00:32 My son said, "Teacher, do you want to join them?"
00:39 When he sat down, the teacher pulled him in his uniform.
00:43 When he was pulled in his uniform, he was stabbed.
00:48 He was stabbed.
00:51 After three days, Francis was able to go to school.
00:55 But the severe headache did not stop.
00:58 He had a headache, his ears, his eyes.
01:01 His ears were like, his ears were swelling.
01:05 When he was here, he was really weak.
01:09 He was almost screaming, "Help, get me out of here."
01:14 We couldn't accept that he was that weak.
01:17 He was hospitalized and later in a coma on September 26.
01:21 Until yesterday, when the 14-year-old who had been dreaming of becoming a mechanic was born.
01:26 The last time we talked, he said, "I can't do it anymore."
01:31 A classmate of Francis told the truth about the pain of their teacher.
01:35 He was really angry.
01:37 He was beaten.
01:41 He was beaten?
01:42 Then they beat him.
01:43 He was crying.
01:46 He was crying?
01:47 He was crying like that?
01:50 No.
01:51 What did you do?
01:53 We tried to get the teacher's statement, but he was on leave from that day.
01:58 The media did not let him enter the campus.
02:00 When he came to the hospital yesterday, when they declared that the child died,
02:05 what we saw there was blood on his brain, he had hemorrhage.
02:12 Did you mention that to the teacher?
02:14 Yes, ma'am.
02:15 What was his reaction?
02:16 He explained that his hand touched the child's face.
02:23 He said that the incident was not that serious.
02:26 Deped Antipolo was looking for information earlier in the study and will also form a fact-finding team.
02:31 Did you get any confirmation?
02:33 I cannot because that is a confidential detail.
02:36 Please respect also our duty of confidentiality.
02:40 The team was also formed for the activities like teaching child protection policy to stakeholders like teachers.
02:47 Francis' family decided to file a complaint against the teacher.
02:50 The family code prohibited corporal punishment or physical punishment.
02:55 Deped Child Protection Policy also prohibited any kind of abuse.
02:59 Francis' lab is located in Heaven's Gate Chapel and documents are waiting for him before he is put under an autopsy in Camp Kraming.
