The Philippine Taekwondo Association (PTA) issued an official statement condemning the bullying incident that involved two Junior High students from Ateneo De Manila University. In its official Facebook page, the PTA issued the following statement:
“It has come to our attention that several videos involving a Taekwondo practitioner engaged in alleged violent incidents are circulating online.
We, the Philippine Taekwondo Association, condemns any form of misbehavior which includes harassment, bullying, and acts of violence. This is not what Taekwondo instills to its practitioners and is a serious matter that we as an association stand against.
Modesty is one of the five tenets of Taekwondo that is being taught to all Taekwondo practitioners from the first day of training. Our association reiterates its objective to teach all Taekwondo practitioners self-respect and respect for others.
The Philippine Taekwondo Association will respect the school’s disciplinary action with the implicated students. We will also further investigate this matter with the individuals involved.”
