This story is about a teacher who abused his student. Mia (not her real name) is a student with a bright and proud future. He is an honor student and a young leader in his community (not her real name) is a 16-year-old senior high school student at a private school. He is a smart student and an active member of the student council.

Mr. Sanchez (not his real name) is his Filipino teacher and usually has him handle the projects and papers that need to be submitted. In the beginning, Mia is overjoyed to be noticed by her teacher and given responsibilities. But he didn't expect it to be a bad reason.

It first happened when they had a project they had to do as a group. Mia and her group were only at home with their teacher to work because there was so much to do. In the middle of their work, he noticed that Mr. Sanchez behind his back, but he doesn't think too much about it because he thinks it's just an accident.

But his teacher's grip didn't just stop there. He was often touched on the shoulders and arms, and sometimes even mentioned his physical appearance. Because of fear and not knowing how to respond to her teacher, Mia was unable to report to her parents or other teachers.

Eventually, Mia was taken by her teacher to a quiet corner of the school. While he was unconscious inside the school, he came upon a teacher who was exchanging words with his teacher. That's when he found out that his teacher had a motive and couldn't lay a hand on him. The next day she reported to her parents and publicized her experience at school.

Abuse is a serious crime and should not be taken lightly. We need to strive for laws that will provide stronger protection to our youth against sexual abuse in their schools.
