“The Anti-Hazing Law has enough provisions, measures, and safeguards. It is now up to the implementers to tighten the implementation at the local government level and with better execution with LGUs [local government units],” she added.
“It is now up to the DILG mainly to improve the capacity of LGUs to implement the law, especially on community-based fraternities, sororities, and gangs. Help the LGUs, especially the barangays, to register all of these groups and their members. Identify them so it will be easier to monitor and make arrests when there are violations,” she said.
