This chapter includes the review of related local and international literature, review of
related local and international researchers, synthesis of the review, and end notes for chapter two.
In the literature review, bullying behavior can be defined as aggressive act that is
repeated overtime or has a potential to be repeated in the future with an intent to harm the other
person who is perceived to be weak and more vulnerable in either physical, emotional or
psychological aspect and leaving that person with a severe damage or impact that hinders
Bullies are often people who have been bullied or abused themselves. Sometimes they
are experiencing life situations they cannot cope with, that leave them feeling helpless and out of
control (TktTuder, 2000). This kind of people are frustrated and stressed as well, because this
feeling of anxiety provokes them to bully or hurt others to release the frustration that they feel.
Also people who are bully have such big pride which makes them boastful and careless towards
others.“Bullies can suffer long-term effects of bullying if their behaviour is not addressed.
Compelling research confirms that bullies are twice as likely as their peers to have criminal
convictions and four times more likely to be multiple offenders (Abel, 2010).
Review of Related Local Literature
Bullying in the Philippines is widespread in school and over the internet, with a study
that states about 50 percent of Filipino students are bullied in school. Bullying can easily affect
both the bully and the victim, and that’s why the government in the Philippines is working hard
to crack down on it. The latest measures include the singing anti-bullying act of 2013, which
criminalizes any act of bulling or cyber-bullying that happens in the country. For any bullying
prevention program to be successful it is necessary for each school to have a clear and easily
understood philosophy that promotes a safe and positive environment. This philosophy should
start during the early childhood years and continue throughout high school. Three values which
promote a positive climate and develop a basis for a bullying prevention program include the
belief that all children can learn, people should be treated with respect 21 and dignity, and there
is no place for violence in the school (Orpinas & Home, 2006. p. 85).
cases on elementary and high school of both private and public schools on 2014 rose by 21% or a
total of 6,363 cases, compare with the 5,236 on 2013. This translates to 31 daily bullying
cases from a divisor of 201 school days. The statistics was disclosed by Rep. Gerald Anthony
Gullas Jr., a member of the House committee on basic education. (Sonnie, 2015).
have shown that approximately 43 percent of NEA members perceived bullying to be a moderate
or major problem in school. Half of the survey respondents (62%) claimed that they witnessed
two or three incidents of bullying within the last month. In the same study, they also found out
that verbal (59%), social/relational (50%), and physical (39%) forms of bullying are greater
concerns in school compared to cyber bullying (17%) (Bradshaw, Waasdorp, & O’Brennan,
2009). In addition, a study (Wang, Iannotti, & Nansel, 2009) on school bullying among
adolescents in the United States indicated that 20.8 percent of the respondents reported being
the aggression (Craig & Pepler, 1995). The bystanders – students who are aware of bullying –
can have a powerful effect on bullying, positive or negative. However, bullying also directly
affects the bystanders: Observing bullying at school predicted risks to mental health (Rivers, et
al., 2009). Students who repeatedly bully are more likely to get into frequent fights or be hurt in
a fight, carry a weapon, vandalize property, drink alcohol or smoke, and be expelled or
suspended from school All forms of bullying are significantly associated with increases in
suicidal ideation, both for the victim AND the offender. However, bullying and cyberbullying
victimization was a stronger predictor of suicidal thoughts and behaviors than was bullying and
cyberbullying offending. Bullying victims were 1.7 times more likely and offenders were 2.1
times more likely to have attempted suicide. It should be acknowledged that among teenagers
who committed suicide after experiencing bullying or cyberbullying many had other emotional
and social stressors in their lives that may have been exacerbated by bullying. (Hinduja &
Patchin, 2010). Children who are the target of bullying or who are bully-victims are at a
significantly higher risk for a variety of psychosomatic problems (Gini & Pozzoli, 2009).
Review of Related Local Studies
In the study of Plan Philippines (2009) which suggest that verbal and relational abuse
like teasing, demeaning and ignoring classmates were identified as forms of bullying while
physical and emotional abuse were attributed as violence or aggression. The understanding of
students that verbal and relational abuses were form of bullying can be explained by the findings
bullying. Foreign and local studies have comparable findings in terms of the prevalence of
different forms of bullying as derived from the percentages of responses in the survey conducted.
Verbal is the most common form of bullying, followed by social or relational bullying, then
physical bullying and lastly, the cyber-bullying (Bradshaw et al., 2009; Villasor, 2010; Wang et
According to the study of Sanapo, (2017) in the Philippines, with the passing of
Republic Act (RA) 10627, otherwise known as the Anti-bullying Law of 2013, schools are
required to establish their own anti-bullying programs which includes the formation of a
committee who would ensure the protection of children against abuses from their peers as well as
provision of counseling programs for both bullies and victims. Educators, school personnel, and
students are also encouraged to report school bullying they have witnessed to proper channels.
Synthesis
Bullying as we all know has become a big issue in our school, every country in the
world has been dealing with bullying with their school. Different types of bullying ranging from
direct physical bullying, verbal and even sexual bullying as becoming a really big issue to deal
with. As said in many studies the effect of bullying on the well being of the students are
psychological problems such as anxiety attacks, depression, PTSD (Post traumatic stress
disorder) and other. Bullying has also physical effects like stomach ache, nausea and headache.
This is because bullying takes a toil on a lot of aspects of a human being depending on how an
individual is bullied. Some statistics are also present, like how many people are subjected to
bullying intentionally and domestically. The causes of bullying ranges from a wide variety of
reasons such as wanting to rule over a group, jealousy of another person's status and even raising
one's on prestige. The effects of bullying lasts even until an individual's adulthood and thus

Research Instrument
The researchers conducted this study using the survey questionnaires. A personal
interview survey, also called as a face-to-face survey, is a survey method that is utilized when a
specific target population is involved. The purpose of conducting a personal interview survey is
to explore the respondent’s of the people to gather more and deeper information ( Sincero, 2018).
Face-to-face survey were used by the researchers to to probe the answers of the
respondents and at the same time, to observe the behavior of the respondents, either individually
or as a group.

students is the main data collection instrument. The researchers asked the school administrator
for permission to conduct a study and conduct survey with interested potential participants. The
purpose of this study was discussed and explained to the respondents before starting the survey
and data collection. The extensive cooperation was achieved. After identification of the
participants, the demographic data and other information related to the study were collected.
Data Analysis
Pie Chart was used to identify the data which was collected from face-to-face survey.
According to Salkind (2010), pie charts are most often used to display categorical data, and less
often ranked or ordinal data. The researchers choose pie chart because of this flexibility. Given
the flexibility of pie chart, it can display data in which a circle is divided into segments that
reflect the magnitude or frequency of the categories or data that the researchers collected.
Ethical Considerations
This current study was subject to certain ethical issues. The letters of permission is in

For the participants, relating to their participation and ethical consideration. The target
of this study was to reassure the participants on the participation on our research was on their
own decision and we don’t force them to participate in our survey, and they can refuse in
participating.
The participants on our study were informed and assured that their responses on the
survey of this study will be confidential and for the academic purposes only to prevent any
violations to our respondents. The researchers made sure conducting the study in a systematical
process.
