Detailed incident description:

November 25, 2019. The student intentionally stolen the wallet of his teacher, Ms.
April Loren Vinson, as what captured by the CCTV camera of the school. He was visited
by the teacher later on that night but he refused to tell the truth. His parents also
tried to talk to him but still he kept on refusing.

November 26, 2019. On the next day, the guardian, Mrs. Meldy went to the school to
see herself the CCTV footage and was convinced that the student intentionally went to
Ms. April’s classroom right after the teacher left to go to the adjacent classroom.
Assuming that the student has seen something valuable in his teacher's wallet, as
what have caught by the CCTV footage, the student went to the adjacent classroom to
check his teacher and rushed back to Ms. April’s classroom and a few minutes he went
out carrying something and he hid it inside his bag, which was placed outside the
classroom, as clearly seen also in the footage.

That morning, he was advised by his guardian and Mrs. Jelly Socoral, our school
guidance counsellor, to return the wallet together with the IDs since those things
are very valuable to Ms. April. As the conversation goes by, he finally admitted that
he has stolen his teacher’s wallet but refused to tell where it is.
Mrs. Sherly Agreda tried to talk to the student and offered him the amount of P100.00
as a reward if he could return the wallet during lunch time. As expected, during
lunch time, he returned the wallet but not in good condition, as if it was thrown in
a puddle, with only cards inside.

The student personally admitted to Ms. April that before he returned the wallet
he bought a ball in the market, which can be inferred that he has no intention to
return the money of his teacher. Moreover, he also continued to say what he wants to
buy after class and when Ms. April asked for the remaining money, he told her that he
saved it in his coin bank. He also admitted to the teacher that he counted the money
saying “ten 1-peso coins, four 5-peso coins, and P540.00 paper bills.” Ms. April’s
actual money was 590-peso paper bill (one 500-peso bill, two 20-peso bill and one 50-
peso bill) and several coins.

Later that afternoon after class, he was seen by the other teachers, Mrs.
Melody and Ms. Amcee, that he intended to ride a jeepney going to the town.
He was under ocular observation whole afternoon, and teachers observed that he hasn’t
shown any regrets by what he has done. He acted like his usual self: roaming inside
the classroom, disturbing his seatmates, going out without permission, refuse to copy
his lessons, etc. opposite of his behavior in the morning when he hasn’t returned the
wallet yet.

Plan to Prevent Recurrence of Incident:

Let the student pay back the money that he has stolen to prevent the recurrence of
the incident. This is to make him realize that what has stolen has to be returned and
not to take it as his own.

Anecdotal:
After the counseling with Mrs. Jelly R. Socoral in the morning, he was so
quiet in his seat, never left his seat until lunch break. He was told to return
the wallet with a reward of P100.00 by Mrs. Sherly D. Agreda.
During lunch time, he returned the wallet saying “Ma’am nakita ko na sa
bangga ginhaboy sang kawatan guru,” he said it while carrying a new ball and
claimed it as his own. He acted happy to return the wallet but there is no money
inside.
During the first class period, he refused to transfer to Ms. Leovy S.
Sabando’s class. I agreed since he was under my observation. He acted like his
usual self: roaming inside the classroom, disturbing his seatmates, going out
without permission, refuse to copy his lessons, etc. opposite of his behavior in
the morning when he hasn’t returned the wallet yet, without showing any guilt of
what he has done. I asked him if when and where did he buy the ball, he answered,
“Ma’am kagina sang udto, sa banwa sa my pasulod da bala ” and I replied, “Ah! Sa
tinda a, sa Tilde”. Then he agreed by nodding. I also asked follow-up questions
like where is the remaining money or how much, he said “Ma’am gin-ayo ko tag 50
kay kupos ang bilin gin hulog ko sa alkansiya.”
He was observed to answer the question happily and freely, since I didn’t
show any anger at all. He also added that after class he’s going to buy a pair of
new slippers and as what I have observed, he was wearing a pair of worn out
slippers.
After class in the afternoon, he rushed to go home and was seen by other
teachers that he intends to ride a jeepney.

Interpretation:
Despite of the student’s awareness that theft is definitely wrong, he would
still prefer to go on with his plans with the money to obtain what he wants. This
was proven by the way he acted when he rushed outside the school to ride a
jeepney even though other teachers are calling his attention. He was observed
walking away from the gate far from the sight of teachers who have seen him.

Implication for Planning:

Let him pay the exact amount of what he has stolen and let his guardian sign
an agreement that if this happens again, an administrative action will be taken,
e.g. suspension or expulsion.
