ORIGINAL CONCEPT OF
TEACHERS AS PERSONS IN
AUTHORITY
It is originally conceived that law did not
consider teachers a person in authority.
It was held in People vs. Mendoza, 59
Phil 163, that when a high school student
slapped his teacher on the check while
she was engaged in the performance of
her duties as a teacher, the crime
committed was only a light felony. This
offense
is
punishable
by
the
imprisonment of not more than 30 days
instead of assault upon a person in
authority punishable up to 6 years of
prison correctional.
