The Philippine National Police (PNP) and Commission on Human Rights (CHR) have jointly requested the public to cease distribution of videos depicting recent school violence. This appeal follows incidents including a shooting in Tacloban City and stabbings elsewhere in the Philippines. Officials state that sharing such footage inflicts further harm on victims and their families by retraumatizing them. Both the PNP and CHR emphasize the importance of respecting the privacy and emotional well-being of those affected. They argue that widespread dissemination of the videos serves no public good and actively causes distress. The request aims to minimize additional suffering during a difficult time for the communities involved. Authorities hope public cooperation will help protect vulnerable individuals.
