Is Ateneo Guilty Of Condoning Bullying Incident At School?

Amid the viral video of the bullying incident involving a junior high school student of Ateneo and their request to the people to stop spreading the video, many are left wondering why a prestigious school would’ve allowed bullying to happen in their school since it was proven that this was not the first time it happened.

Turning The Blind Eye?

The bullying suspect, Joaquin Montes and his brother are allegedly notorious bullies in Ateneo. His brother was even professedly kicked out of San Beda for the very same reason - bullying. They are Taekwondo black belters, which explains the reason why they think they can just beat anyone.

The fact of the matter is, despite several complaints from their victims’ parents, Ateneo has not taken action on their bullying behaviors. The viral video was not the first time that Joaquin Montes showed deviant behavior, there were other complaints in the past, but Ateneo turned a blind eye and refused to expel these bullies.

Politics Involved?

According to a post shared by Z Blog on Facebook, one of the reasons that Ateneo can’t seem to take action on the matter is that the Montes is a well-connected family. They are said to be close friends of the Cojuangcos, to Peping Cojuangco to be specific.

We all know that the Cojuangcos are one of the biggest sponsors of the Ateneo sports program, and they would tend to lose a lot if Cojuangco would withdraw his support because they punished his friend’s son.


Stand Up Against Bullying

Netizens were disappointed by the turtle-paced action that Ateneo seems to be doing regarding the bullying incident. They announced that they are investigating on the matter, but with the overwhelming evidence and the previous complaints, it should be a no-brainer that the bully Montes should be expelled in their school.


A netizen gave a piece of sound advice to the prestigious school, do what is right and stand up against Bullying.

Read full post below of Z Blog:

“Joaquin Montes and his older brother are both Taekwondo black belters. They love to bully and pick on everyone in school. Despite multiple complaints from various parents these last 3 years against the Montes brothers, the Ateneo school authorities chose to look the other way. Because Montes are well-connected (to Peping Cojuangco) Ateneo refuses to expel the Montes brothers. In fact, Ateneo has been requesting Youtube to take down videos of Montes bullying other kids. His brother was kicked out of San Beda for bullying.” -Eric Cabahug/Richard

What a shame Ateneo de Manila University!!! 👎🏻 Don’t stand by, stand up! #StopBullying

PhD thesis details Ninoy Aquino’s collaboration with Communist Party/NPA

First of a series on the Scalice revelations THE Yellows’ martyr Benigno ‘Ninoy’ Aquino, Jr. was crucial in the founding and growth of the Communist Party of the Philippines and the New People’s Army (CPP-NPA). Aquino, until his arrest when martial was declared in 1972, supported the CPP-NPA as one of his weapons to topple his arch-enemy Ferdinand Marcos. This is among the many explosive conclusions and details of a 2017 PhD dissertation by Joseph Scalice at the University of California, Berkeley, entitled  Crisis of Revolutionary Leadership: Martial Law and the Communist Parties of the Philippines, 1957-1974. The 800-page thesis is replete with encyclopedic information not just on the old pro-Soviet  Partido Komunista ng Pilipinas  (PKP) and Jose Ma. Sison’s pro-China Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP). Scalice reveals surprising details on political figures of that era that would shock the Yellows and the Reds. Scalice appears to have sp...
