QC mom seeks justice after bullied son jumped off school building
A mother in Quezon City is seeking justice for her 15-year-old son, Totoy (name withheld), who died by suicide after allegedly being bullied at school. Despite managing a seizure disorder and being described as friendly and bright, Totoy tragically jumped off a school building during class.
Based on available search results from reliable Philippine news sources, no specific news reports were found matching the exact details of a Quezon City mother seeking justice for her 15-year-old son "Totoy" who died by suicide after allegedly being bullied at school by jumping off a school building. The search revealed several related incidents and broader context about bullying in Quezon City schools. In April 2025, DepEd ordered Bagong Silangan High School in Quezon City to investigate a viral bullying case involving students teasing, dragging, and pulling the hair of a female classmate, with the school directed to hold Child Protection Committee meetings and provide support to victims. Separately, in February 2026, a male student died by suicide by jumping from the FPJ LRT-1 Station platform in Quezon City, but this incident involved transportation infrastructure rather than a school building, and the father chose not to file a complaint. Broader context shows DepEd records thousands of bullying cases annually, with 404 student suicides and 2,147 attempts in school year 2021-2022, prompting legislative efforts like House Bill No. 3397 (Campus Mental Health Improvement Act) by Quezon City Rep. PM Vargas to expand mental health services in schools. The specific case described appears to be either an unreported incident or one not covered in the available search results from major Philippine news outlets.
