After the viral bullying video involving Ateneo Junior High School students, the alleged “bully” finally broke his silence over the issue.
The alleged bully together with his mother had an interview with Kapuso newscaster Arnold Clavio in “24 Oras” where the student aired his side on the matter, saying he was just “defending” himself.

He said: “‘Yung sinasabi nilang inattack ko daw sa bathroom ‘yung guy e sabay nga kami pumasok so.. I was just defending myself. Hindi naman ako nambu-bully for no reason eh.”
According to the student, the alleged victim first dared him for a fistfight even before the incident in the bathroom.
“‘Nung last period, sabi niya gusto niya daw makipag-suntukan mamaya. Sabi ko, ‘Sige, mamayang dismissal.’ Tas ‘nung dismissal na, ‘yon, pumunta kami sa CR ‘tas umihi siya tapos nagsasalita ako, ‘tas… ‘yung nangyari sa video.”
However, he admitted that what he did was not right.
“Hindi dapat ako nag-react ng ganun ka-violent,” he added.
The student’s mom also apologized to everyone offended, including the alleged victim and the school.
