Years after making his classmate Julian break down in tears, he reached out to apologise. That apology marked the beginning of an unlikely friendship.

Jerrel's story reflects a wider reality. The Philippines reports one of the highest rates of school bullying in Asia, where many children still see bullying as an unavoidable part of growing up.
