In describing a student as someone who "may be the evolutionary link between orangutans<br />

and humans" on Facebook, an XYZ High School music teacher received a complaint for mocking his<br />

African-American student, April 16. The teacher, Laurent Orbano, was identified after a screenshot<br />

of the Facebook post was sent to the Office of the Principal, one day after the incident.<br />

Article VII Section 3. Under no circumstance shall a teacher be prejudiced or discriminate against<br />

a learner.<br />

During a court hearing last week for a former ABC National High School teacher who sexually<br />

abused three children, the victims’ families told a judge that Brian Tolentino seemed to them like a<br />

devoted friend. “He would take the boys to restaurants, concerts, sporting events, amusement parks<br />

and sometimes to his own house to play video games,” according to court testimony.<br />

Article XI Section 3. A teacher shall maintain at all times a dignified personality which could<br />

serve as a model worthy of emulation by learners, peers and all others.<br />

Tony Rodriguez, who is assigned at the LMN Elementary School, used the family name of her second<br />

husband when she entered into the government service even if their marriage was not valid. Rodriguez<br />

allegedly falsified official documents from the court declaring the presumed death of her first<br />

husband, Bernardino Rodriguez.<br />

serve as a model worthy of emulation by learners, peers and all others.<br />

Court records said the complainant, then 12 years old, told the court that about 4 p.m. on May 17,<br />

2015, the teacher asked him and his two classmates to stay in their classroom for a remedial class<br />

in English as a preparation for the Regional Achievement Examination. He said the teacher asked him<br />

to solve a math problem and because he was short, he pulled a chair and stood on it to answer the<br />

problem on the board. However, when he failed to solve the problem, he said the teacher pulled him<br />

by the hair, and banged his head on the blackboard.<br />

Article VIII. Section 8. A teacher shall not inflict corporal punishment on offending learners nor make<br />

deductions from their scholastic ratings as a punishment for acts which are clearly not manifestation<br />

of poor scholarship.<br />

A protective parent referred a case to her lawyer against Mrs. Rosa Rosal the teacher of her Grade<br />

III daughter. She alleged that on so many occasions, had traumatized her daughter. This caused her<br />

daughter not to report for class for a long period of time, exceeding the 20 percent allowed by the<br />

Department of Education.<br />
