Specifically, it aimed to determine the profile of the respondents in terms of gender, age, civil status, educational attainment, employment status, length of service, and trainings and seminars attended. It further determined the extent of implementation on the anti-bullying preventive measures in the Catholic Schools in terms of parental involvement, guidance counseling, school policies and anti-bullying campaigns. Finally, it identified the significant relationship between the profile of the respondents and the perceived extent of implementation and the best practices in anti-bullying preventive measures to come up with an improvement plan. This study utilized mixed-method approach. Specifically, it’s for complementarity in which this study used different methods to explore various facets of research problem, where the findings from one method gives an enhanced understanding and comprehensive view about the problem. It quantitatively describes and analyzes the profiles of sixty (60) teacher-respondents and the extent of anti-bullying measures. Whereas, it qualitatively explores and describe their best practices in anti-bullying, providing context and depth to the findings.

The extent of implementation of parental involvement, guidance and counseling, school policies, and anti-bullying campaigns in the anti-bullying preventive measures is significant, with a strong emphasis on creating a collaborative and supportive environment involving parents, providing emotional support for students, enforcing clear policies, and raising awareness through campaigns. There exists a notable correlation between the profile of respondents and their perceived extent of implementation of anti-bullying preventive measures, indicating that factors such as educational attainment, employment status, and training attendance influence their approach towards addressing bullying in schools.

The proposed improvement plan emphasizes the need for targeted interventions, such as enhancing parental involvement, expanding guidance and counseling services, revising school policies, and intensifying anti-bullying campaigns. Based on the findings of the study, the following recommendations are forwarded: targeted training programs should be developed to address the diverse needs of teachers with varying backgrounds and experience levels, focusing on practical strategies for parental involvement, guidance and counseling, and effective implementation of school policies and anti-bullying campaigns; and a comprehensive training opportunities should be provided to enhance teachers' understanding of best practices and promote inclusive school environments. The improvement plan could be utilized to increase parental engagement, strengthen guidance and counseling support, and refine school policies to effectively combat bullying.
