The legal protection of learners in the Philippines is anchored on the 1987 Constitution and international treaties like the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, which mandate the State to defend students' well-being. These high-level mandates are enforced through national laws like the Anti-Bullying Act (RA 10627) and the Special Protection of Children Against Abuse Act (RA 7610). To operationalize these, DepEd Order No. 40, s. 2012 establishes a zero-tolerance policy against violence and requires every school to maintain a Child Protection Committee.
