Should students who post photos wearing bikinis be disciplined by Catholic schools?
MANILA, Philippines -- A Catholic school which banned its students from attending their graduation rites due to photos they posted on Facebook has filed a motion for reconsideration asking for the reversal of a court order allowing them to attend the rites.
One basis of the temporary restraining order issued by RTC Judge Wilfredo Navarro was the allegation that Sister Celeste Ma. Purisima Pe, school principal of St. Theresa’s College in Cebu City, called the students “sluts”, “addicts”, “drunkards” and “cheap.”
According to Navarro’s decision, minors are supposed to be protected from every form of child abuse, including verbal abuse.
However, the Cebu Daily News reported earlier today that the school’s lawyer, Romeo Balili, said it was not true that Pe called the students names or that they were denied due process.
Pe reportedly said in an affidavit that the students were asked in February to give an account of what happened to explain their conduct, after which their parents were called in, shown the photos, and told of the decision of the school’s disciplinary committee and penalties incurred.
STC’s handbook forbids students to upload photos of themselves on the internet showing “ample body exposure.”
STC Cebu is a religious school run by the Missionary Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. It has a sister school in Quezon City.
Enrique Lacerna, lawyer of one of the girls, said his client would attend the STC graduation rites at 3:00 p.m. on Friday, March 30, 2012.
“A TRO is not subject to reconsideration or appeal. What is the purpose of (seeking) reconsideration? The issues here are urgent. I’m certain it will not be granted by the court,” Cebu Daily News quoted Lacerna.
Despite the court's issuance of a TRO, however, it was reported that the students were still prevented from entering the school grounds during this afternoon's graduation rites.
Mixed opinions
The issue has garnered conflicting opinions from netizens.
On Twitter, *attendezlacreme said the students should only be banned from joining their school’s graduation rites if they wore their bikinis inside the school, and that the pictures were from the students’ personal lives.
*litratistako meanwhile tweeted, “Seriously?” expressing disbelief at the news that the students were barred from their graduation rites, while *kingdelrosario quipped, “If the court decided otherwise, andaming ‘di gagraduate!”
However, *ArteKulitAko expressed a different view, posting, “Boo! Its not the bikini issue, its the minors drinking and smoking! Twisted judge! Tama lang na hindi dapat [sila] ipasali sa march!”
A Facebook user likewise said, "STC's code of conduct is clear. My take, could be the lack of parental guidance? Highschool girls already have Facebook, posting their bikini photos. Who allowed them to open a Facebook account? The school or the parent. Who is responsible?"
Another Facebook user commented, "I see nothing unconstitutional and harsh about the punishment given. The family is sensationalizing the whole thing."

March 30th, 2012 06:30 PM #4This should be the subject of a good debate. How far can schools intrude into the private lives of its students?

Schools as Facebook patrol

It’s less about whether to be libertines or prudes, or how lenient and how severe. That will merely drag us into the amorphous debate on obscenity, and lead us to say, “I know it when I see it,” in the famous words of US Justice Potter Stewart. Rather, it’s about who gets to make the call, and whether we can carve out spheres in our lives where we can be free to be ourselves without having to worry about prying eyes.
St. Theresa’s College in Cebu has reportedly barred a 16-year-old high school student from attending her graduation ceremony because she had posted on Facebook a photograph of herself wearing a bikini. The school invoked its duty “to see to it that the children’s values [were] developed,” and that “in order to maintain the morality of the school … rules and regulations [were] issued to the students as guide[s].” One such rule prohibits the “posting and uploading [of] pictures on the Internet that entail ample body exposure.” Accordingly, the school principal ordered that the girl “cannot join school activities, functions and privileges [senior’s bash and practices for graduation]” and that “she cannot join the commencement exercises.” (It is unclear whether she was merely barred from the ceremony but was actually allowed to graduate.)
The girl’s mother, a physician, has sued to compel the school to allow the daughter to join the commencement event. The incriminating photo was apparently taken at the birthday party of a friend. The parents had permitted the girl to attend it, and the mother herself doesn’t consider the photo obscene.
One, concededly, the school has the power to adopt its own institutional mission. If St. Theresa’s says that its goal is to advance the moral formation of its wards in strict Catholic tradition, it will be acting within its own academic freedom. We can split hairs here—the Constitution guarantees academic freedom only to “institutions of higher learning,” which means colleges and universities, and not high schools. But I don’t see how that distinction matters here. Any school worth its license to operate should be respected in its school mission.
Also, the parents accept that mission when they enroll their children and entrust them to the school. The school’s mission is therefore binding upon the parents in two ways: legislatively, as rules adopted by the school, and contractually, as an agreement to which the parents consent on registration day.
A parallel case arose many years ago, when the University of Santo Tomas disallowed a Bb. Pilipinas candidate from re-enrolling because she had in the meantime appeared in a Tanduay poster. The Senate conducted an “inquiry in aid of legislation,” during which the venerable senators inspected the rather explicit photographs and were satisfied that indeed the Pontifical University had been skimpy in its respect for the human rights of the Bb. Pilipinas candidate. Eventually, UST relented, and allowed her to re-enroll provided she vowed never to display her God-given ampleness too amply.
Two, however, under the Family Code, the school exercises “special parental authority” only during school activities. The mother says that the bikini shot was taken at a “family or private social activity [that] does not involve the school’s supervision and control” and “was not connected with the school curriculum.” The school cannot install itself as moral watchdog over a student’s entire life.
Three, the school actually intruded into the student’s privacy. The photograph was apparently posted on the girl’s Facebook account whose privacy settings allowed access only to her friends. The school officials were not her Facebook friends, and were kibitzers into the child’s zone of privacy. Indeed, if indeed the girl’s privacy settings gave access only to her friends, the girl’s Facebook posts are technically hearsay vis-à-vis the school officials because they were not privy to her posts.
Of the three arguments, the third is most empowering. In the first two, the high school student is merely the passive object as two powers, the school vis-à-vis the parent, collide over the power to run her life. In the third, she is the active subject, able to express herself among her friends, able to pick and choose who those friends are, and yes, able to choose how she wants to dress during her friend’s birthday party.
Finally, it is not fatal to the mother’s case that apparently she had earlier taken part in the disciplinary case. The school’s legal counsel insists that due process was observed because the “parents were present when the child signed the probation.” Is counsel saying that fundamental rights can be waived? Not everything can be bargained away by contract. Can a Muslim student be forced to bargain away his religion in exchange for enrolling in a Catholic school? Come on. This silly argument must be put to rest once and for all.
Last weekend, I visited a church in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where I used to hear Mass the last time I taught there. I saw these words on the Sunday missal: “No matter what your present status in the Catholic Church; No matter what your current … marital situation; No matter what your personal history, age, background, race, etc.; No matter what your own self-image; You are invited, welcomed, accepted, loved and respected here at St. Peter Parish.” Given the unnecessary ruckus over the innocuous Facebook photograph, will we live to see the day when the Filipino Catholic can be as open and as welcoming? Is the Filipino Catholic capable of being truly catholic?

6 school boys in trouble over FB kiss photos
MANILA, Philippines (AP) — A Catholic school is witholding the diplomas of six high school boys who uploaded Facebook photos that appear to show them kissing each other, an education official said Friday.
A day earlier, a regional trial court rejected another Catholic school's decision to bar five girls from graduation ceremonies because they had posed in bikinis for photos posted on Facebook. The cases test the limits of privacy in a conservative Catholic nation that is also among the world's most prolific users of social networking sites.
Department of Education officer Samuel Mergenio said in a interview that the six boys told him they had taken prank photos to make it appear that their lips touched. One of the boys uploaded the pictures on Facebook and mistakenly made them available to others, Mergenio said.
The pictures were not taken at the boys' school, Infant Jesus Academy in Marikina City, but the students were wearing school uniforms, he said.
Mergenio said the school's chancellor informed the department late Thursday that the boys will be allowed to participate in the graduation ceremonies but "the release of their diplomas will be delayed." He said the school did not say when the diplomas will be handed over and that he was awaiting a formal written report from the school.
The school chancellor was not immediately available for comment Friday.
On Thursday, a judge in Cebu city issued a restraining order against St. Theresa's College High School, ordering it to allow the five students who appeared in the bikini photos to take part in Friday afternoon's graduation ceremonies.
The school, which declined to comment to The Associated Press, asked the court to reconsider. The girls' lawyer, Cornelio Mercado, said Friday that the school was still insisting on banning the students while its motion for reconsideration is pending.
Mercado said one Facebook photo at issue showed a girl holding a cigarette and a liquor bottle, while others showed all five girls wearing bikinis at a beach party early this year.
School officials took action against the girls for what they called "engaging in immoral, indecent, obscene or lewd acts," according to court records. They said the students would graduate but could not participate in activities or ceremonies.
Earlier this month, the five girls were summoned by the principal and other school officials, "dressed down" and called "sluts" for their Facebook pictures, Mercado said.
The judge, Wilfredo Navarro of the Regional Trial Court, castigated school officials for calling the girls "inappropriate names" and said the students had gone through "a psychologically and emotionally devastating experience." He said not allowing them to participate in graduation activities "would indeed be most un-Christian if not entirely inhuman."
The mother of one girl had petitioned the court on behalf of her daughter. Mercado said the ruling applied to all five.
He said the families on Friday filed charges of "grave oral defamation" and illegal use of photos showing minors against the school and school officials. He alleged that the school officials had illegally obtained the pictures because they were not Facebook "friends" of the girls and were not allowed access.

Smoking, drinking... mahirap na kaso yan for the school to pursue. They can invent a disciplinary excuse... for example... the student's behavior in school deteriorates because of it... or the student is caught smoking on campus... but you can't police the students' entire life. It's not your job nor your right. And if you kick them out instead of counselling them and showing them the right way, you're not doing your job as an educator.
As said... not the first time I've heard of these issues. In *** scandal videos, if the student is not in uniform and not on school premises, the school has no right to punish the student for appearing in a video. If it's a teacher... with a student... ...the school has every right to go after the teacher. Kahit may: "due process" ka dun, you fall afoul of trampling the students' rights in the process. I agree with the judge in this case (even if the reason is not just the bikini, but the smoking and drinking and etcetera).
Pregnancy is another matter... said students are also protected under the law, but most would prefer to quit school during the pregnancy to avoid scandal, so it doesn't usually arise as an issue.
Ang pagbalik ng comeback...
