ESSAY

Joben, a school principal, called high school students Paula and Gina, both 15 years old, to the faculty room regarding the sexual text message circulating around campus which made reference to Joben's daughter. In front of teachers and some students, Joben shouted at Paula and Gina, asking them who sent the said text message. Joben also threatened to sue them and said: "Siguro nainggit kayo sa anak ko kasi maganda sya, matalino at mayaman. Sabihin nyo kasi sa mga magulang nyo magsumikap sila para maging mayaman din kayo. Di yung tatamad-tamad." Joben then raised her middle finger in front of Paula and Gina, saying "Mga burikat (whore)!" Later that day, Paula and Gina narrated the incident to their parents and said that they were ashamed of going back to school. Is Joben guilty of violating Section 10(a) of Republic Act No. 7610 for other acts of child abuse? Explain briefly. (5 points)
