QUEZON City Mayor Maria Josefina 'Joy' Belmonte on Thursday ordered local police to go after the other suspects in the October 16 hazing incident that resulted in the death of a criminology student.
'The Quezon City government strongly condemns the hazing incident involving a student of the Philippine College of Criminology that led to his demise,' Belmonte said in a statement. A QCPD report showed that the initiation rites of the Tau Gamma Phi fraternity happened in an abandoned building in Barangay Sto. Domingo, also in the city.
She said that physical harm and violence through hazing and other initiation rites should be abhorred and condemned in accordance with Republic Act 11054 or the Anti-Hazing Act of 2018. 'It is unrighteous to inflict harm on others that results in serious injury or worse, death, only to prove loyalty and brotherhood,' the city chief executive added.
