Photo: Quezon City Government The Quezon City Government, in partnership with the Department of Education Schools Division Office of Quezon City (DepEd QC), on Monday officially launched a comprehensive campaign aimed at combating bullying and discrimination in both public and private schools across the city. According to a press release, the B.A.D. 'Yan! (Bullying at Diskriminasyon 'Yan!) campaign seeks to raise awareness, encourage reporting, and strengthen interventions to address all forms of bullying—including physical verbal, and cyberbullying, as well as emphasize zero tolerance for discrimination based on gender, religion, socioeconomic status, appearance, or disability. 'Every student deserves to learn in an environment where they are respected, heard, and protected. In QC, we believe that schools should be places of growth, not fear. With this new campaign, we reaffirm our commitment to stand by our children and ensure their voices are never silenced by bullying,' said Quezon City Mayor Joy Belmonte in a statement. As bullying and discrimination can cause emotional distress and loss of confidence, which may affect how students socialize, their academic performance, and overall well-being, the B.A.D. 'Yan! campaign is aiming for a whole-of-city approach to create safer and more inclusive learning environments. DepEd QC has pledged full support for the initiative, with division officials, principals, and teachers to be actively involved in its implementation. The campaign also calls on parents, youth leaders, barangay officials, and other community organizations to collaborate with the city government in fostering respectful and protective school climates. During the recent two-day Education Summit, students, education stakeholders, and local officials pledged to uphold respect for all, reject bullying and discrimination in any form, and help build safe, inclusive communities within and beyond school campuses. Belmonte emphasized that 'the fight against bullying is not won by schools alone. It takes the collective effort of families, communities, and leaders to shape an environment where respect and kindness prevail. With B.A.D. 'Yan!, we unite all QCitizens to protect our children and nurture them into compassionate and responsible citizens.' Schools Division Superintendent Carleen Sedilla said, 'Schools are the second home of our students, and it is our duty to keep them safe. We will do everything we can to keep our schools places where every learner is respected and protected. B.A.D. 'Yan! is a message that is simple to remember, yet powerful enough to inspire change.' DepEd QC will soon issue a Division Memorandum detailing specific steps and activities to support the campaign, urging education stakeholders to speak up (Magsalita), get involved (Makialam), and take part (Makiisa) in combating bullying and discrimination. The campaign also empowers victims and witnesses to report incidents confidentially. Students may bring their concerns to school authorities or call the city's unified hotline, Helpline 122, which handles various issues including bullying and discrimination. — Sherylin Untalan/BM, GMA Integrated News

80-year-old Hong Kong taxi driver arrested after tourist fatally struck by vehicle
An 80-year-old taxi driver has been arrested after he lost control of his vehicle, killing a tourist from the Philippines, according to the Hong Kong police. The cabbie reported feeling dizzy before the incident, the police said in a statement issued on Tuesday evening, hours after the collision occurred at the pick-up area at Nina Hotel in Tsuen Wan at 1.52pm. The 35-year-old tourist was rushed to Princess Margaret Hospital and was certified dead at 3.12pm. The octogenarian driver was arrested for dangerous driving causing death and was detained pending further investigation, the police statement said. The special traffic investigation team for the New Territories South police district has launched a probe into the incident. Dashcam footage circulating online shows the taxi ramming into the tourist, crushing him between the vehicle and a pillar outside the hotel entrance before rebounding from the impact. The driver was sent to Yan Chai Hospital with chest pain and injuries to the head and hands. Elderly drivers In January, a 65-year-old taxi driver was arrested after his vehicle collided with another car in the early hours of New Year's Day, leaving three dead and four others injured. Traffic incidents involving elderly taxi drivers have brought into question their suitability to drive and have prompted calls for heightened scrutiny and stricter health checks for cabbies. According to Transport Department data, taxi drivers aged 70 years and above were responsible for 651 road accidents in 2024. In 2018, that figure was 209. People aged 70 or above applying for a driver's licence are currently required to provide the department with a medical examination certificate completed by a registered medical practitioner at least once every three years. In March 2023, an 85-year-old taxi driver hit three pedestrians in Fortress Hill, leaving two in critical condition. He was charged with one count of dangerous driving causing grievous bodily harm. In a Tuesday Facebook post, lawmaker Adrian Ho called for a mandatory retirement age for taxi drivers, as well as strict physical examination and road reaction tests.

China's Yan throws women's world U20 javelin record
QUZHOU, China, Aug. 3 (Xinhua) -- China's Yan Ziyi added more than one meter to her own world U20 javelin record as she threw 65.89m to take the victory at the 2025 Chinese Athletics Championships here on Sunday. The 17-year-old struggled to find her best form in the first two rounds and injured her right ankle during the third throw. She refused to quit the competition but tumbled in her fourth attempt. And all the persistence proved to be worthy as the undaunted Chinese teenager produced a throw of 65.89m in the fifth round. Yan came from behind to take the gold, followed by her Zhejiang teammate Dai Qianqian at 62.92m. Gai Qiaohui of Shandong finished third at 58.38m. "After the third throw I told my coach that my right heel was swollen. She told me to quit, but I wanted to keep throwing," Yan said. "The fourth throw was invalid, but the javelin went quite far. So I decided to give myself another try. And I did it." It was the fourth time in less than two years for Yan to rewrite the world U20 javelin record. She managed the feat for the first time last April, when she was only 15, with a mark of 64.28m, and registered 64.41m in Quzhou last September. Five months ago, she added another 42cm to that mark in Chengdu. Although her new personal best of 65.89m ranks third in the world leading list of the season, Yan will not be able to compete in the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo next month, as athletes aged under 18 will not be allowed to enter throwing events of the tournament.

Petr Yan not interested in Umar Nurmgomedov next, wants UFC 320 backup spot
ABU DHABI – Petr Yan dismissed the idea of fighting Umar Nurmagomedov next. Yan (19-5 MMA, 11-4 UFC) made it three-straight wins after defeating Marcus McGhee in Saturday's UFC on ABC 9 co-main event at Etihad Arena. Yan was asked about the possibility of facing Nurmagomedov (18-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC) next, but after their initial planned booking in June fell through, he's no longer interested. "Right now, I'm not interested in fighting Umar in November in Qatar," Yan told MMA Junkie and other reporters through an interpreter at the post-fight news conference. "I was offered a fight against him in Baku, Azerbaijan. I accepted it; they couldn't accept it. Then I asked for July, they also couldn't make it. Right now, I'm only focused on a title shot." Merab Dvalishvili (20-4 MMA, 13-2 UFC) defends his bantamweight title against Cory Sandhagen (18-5 MMA, 11-4 UFC) in the UFC 320 co-headliner on Oct. 4 from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Yan's most recent loss came to Dvalishvili in March 2023, and he hopes to get the opportunity to avenge that setback. "Obviously, I prefer to rematch Merab to see how I'll do against him when I'm healthy," Yan said. "But, Cory's also a great fighter, interesting fighter. I had a great fight with him. I believe they're going to have a good fight, but I just believe Merab's pressure is going to be a key factor. At some point, Cory's going to fade."
