A school Christmas party meant to celebrate generosity and joy has instead triggered widespread anger online after a student received a hollow block and a used blouse as a gift, leaving the child in tears and reigniting concerns about bullying inside classrooms.
The incident first gained traction after the child's mother shared her account on social media, later spreading across forums and news platforms. According to the parent, the class had agreed on a minimum gift value of 200 Philippine pesos (about 2.5 GBP), yet the package contained construction material and clothing the child could not use. The disappointment quickly turned into emotional distress once the gift was opened at home.
