Twenty years ago, Mark Welson Chua, a Reserve Officers’ Training Corps cadet at the University of Santo Tomas was found lifeless in Pasig River.
Chua died after exposing practices of corruption, bribery, and extortion in the UST ROTC unit to the Varsitarian in 2001. Varsitarian is the university’s official student publication. According to the Varsitarian, most of the complaints were financial, particularly the questionable collection of a P250 for “army patches” fee upon enrollment during first semester and a P20 registration fee during second semester, apart from the P300 ROTC fee.
