"Stop cyberbullying Nuezca's daughter, say women
and child rights organizations"
Needs appropriate intervention and rehabilitation’, not public ridicule and judgment, said by the
Philippine Commission on Women (PCW) in regards to cop Jonel Nuezca’s daughter.
Organizations that aim to protect women and children’s rights plead to not include the Police Senior
Master Sergeant Jonel Nuezca's daughter from cyberbullying. Like other children, Nuezca’s daughter
has the right to be protected from any forms of violence, the PCW emphasized in a statement.
Moments before Jonel Nuezca was shot dead, their neighbors—Sonya and Frank Anthony Gregorio,
the cop’s daughter that was beside him was heard shouting, “My father is a policeman!”.
“What the video showed us is only her surface”, “a possible manifestation of her environment and many
other factors that we did not witness and so we do not have the right to judge”, the PCW stated on
Wednesday, December 23. The events that happened and how it escalated quickly from confrontation
to murder was caugh on video. Nuezca’s daughter drew a lot of attention and criticism online as the
video went viral. The PCW stated, “Instead of public ridicule, judgment, uncalled-for sharing of her
pictures, and digging into her life, she needs appropriate intervention and rehabilitation. Let us show
compassion to her - the very same thing that we demand from agents of the law”
As stated by the Council of the Welfare of Children (CWC), the child won’t learn the consequences for
her actions through cyberbullying. The CWC added, “Instigating condemnation and negative reaction
towards her will make us no different from the real perpetrator who should be held accountable”.
CWC also noted that the ability of the child to regulate her emotions is not fully developed. The
policeman should be the one focused on, to be held accountable for such actions.
