MARAWI CITY, Lanao del Sur, June 14 (PIA) -- The Philippine National Police (PNP) has beefed up its campaign against bullying and riots in schools and campuses here by conducting school-to-school information drive.
The information drive through schools visitation started during the opening of classes to ensure the total safety of students and teachers, said PO2 Esnairah M. Lucman, President of the Lanao del Sur PNP Lady Officers Club.
She said PNP is holding schools visitation to inform students where they can go in case they are being bullied or for other security concerns they would like to report.
Aside from anti-bullying, the PNP is also conducting orientations on anti-riot, juvenile justice act, and the act on special protection of children against abuse, exploitation and discrimination.
