SENATE President Juan Miguel 'Migz' Zubiri said on Thursday that all individuals involved in the hazing death of a 25-year-old student of the Philippine College of Criminology in Manila should spend the rest of their lives behind bars.
Zubiri called on authorities to ensure the arrest and swift prosecution of those who took part in the initiation rites that resulted in the brutal death of Ahldryn Leary Bravante.The Senate chief had shepherded the passage of Republic Act 11053, or the Anti-Hazing Act of 2018, after Horacio 'Atio' Castillo 3rd, then a freshman law student at the University of Santo Tomas, was beaten to death by members of Aegis Juris fraternity in 2017.
At least 12 members of the same fraternity were said to be behind Bravante's death, including four who were already in police custody.'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.
