Sister-in-Law of Yasmien Kurdi Criticizes CSA Over Bullying Incident
JENS SOLDEVILLA – The sister-in-law of Yasmien Kurdi expressed her outrage toward Colegio San Agustin (CSA) over what she perceived as a lack of accountability for the alleged bullying of Yasmien’s daughter, Ayesha. Jens criticized CSA after the school issued a statement urging Yasmien to cooperate with them and avoid escalating the issue publicly.
In her posts, which have since been removed but were shared by Inquirer.net, Jens expressed her frustration, stating that CSA seemed more concerned with protecting its reputation and the bullies involved than addressing the trauma Ayesha had endured. She emphasized that her niece was now “traumatized” and no longer wanted to attend school.
Jens called out the school for shielding the identities of the bullies and prioritizing the school’s image over the well-being of the victim. She voiced her support for Yasmien’s decision to bring the issue to the public, saying it was clear that the school cared more about its reputation than the mental damage caused to the victim.
Jens also accused the school of “targeting” and “bullying” Yasmien, who was simply seeking justice for her daughter. She urged the Department of Education (DepEd) to intervene and advised parents to carefully consider whether to enroll their children at CSA.
In a follow-up post, Jens warned the public against enrolling their children at CSA, claiming that the school was “pro-bully.” CSA has yet to release a new statement on the matter but had previously denied that any bullying occurred, describing the incident as a misunderstanding related to a Christmas party discussion.
Yasmien had shared that Ayesha was isolated by 7-9 students, denied food and recess, and felt ganged up on. On December 19, Yasmien met with DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara to discuss the ongoing bullying issue.
