A Music, Arts, Physical Education, and Health (MAPEH) instructor was arrested for humiliating a pupil the previous year. The teacher allegedly cursed, kicked, and pushed a Grade 4 student in Silay City, Negros Occidental, according to the report.
Maria Lourdes Panes, of Cinco de Noviembre Street, Barangay III, Silay City, Negros Occidental, was identified as the suspect. Panes works as a teacher at Silay South Elementary School, based on the report.
