Defining the News
Two more hazing deaths this year should be enough for the national government to blacklist fraternities responsible for cases of murder and frustrated murder and possibly make not only those who directly participated in the crime but also their key leaders accountable before our courts.
The lawmaker facilitated the passage of Republic Act 11053, or the Anti-Hazing Act of 2018, after Horacio Castillo 3rd, then a freshman law student at the University of Santo Tomas, was beaten to death by members of the Aegis Juris fraternity in 2017. A medico-legal report revealed that Bravante’s cause of death was severe blunt trauma to both lower extremities.
“This senseless death of another young student due to barbaric fraternity tradition is not only enraging but frustrating as well as it happened despite our efforts to put more teeth to the law against fraternity hazing,” Zubiri said. Is it possible for the Tau Gamma Phi fraternity that figured in two hazing deaths this year to be declared an illegal organization and therefore permanently banned from conducting recruitment activities in campuses and communities throughout the country?
