Senseless death

Tempo Online by Tempo Online
September 26, 2017
in That's The Spirit

By: Dr. Ramon Ricardo A. Roque, CESOI, Diplomate

Another life was senselessly lost due a senseless tradition that some fraternities still keep – hazing.

The death of Horacio Tomas Castillo III, a law freshman from the University of Santo Tomas (UST), which was ruled by the Philippine National Police (PNP) as another fraternity hazing case, suggests that hazing is a fraternity culture that, at the very least, some fraternities still maintain.

This case once again raises the question – what should be done to finally end this kind of senseless death?

Justice Secretary Vitaliano Aguirre emphasized that fraternities cannot be outlawed as it will be against the constitutional right to form and be part of an association. He is right. Prohibiting the organization and continued existence of fraternities is not the answer to the question of what should be done to finally end death through hazing.

Secretary Aguirre also maintained that the Anti-Hazing Law is “strong enough” and was in fact strengthened after hazing cases in the past years. He even noted that the strength of the law can be seen from the convictions of many fraternity officers in past hazing cases. Is Secretary Aguirre right again on this matter?

Is the Anti-Hazing Law strong enough for fraternities to totally abandon their hazing tradition?

The current case of Castillo shows that in this respect, the law is not strong enough. The existence of the said law appeared to have no effect on how Aegis Juris Fraternity of UST admits “brothers.”

Can’t parental love prevail in ending the hazing tradition of fraternities?

The pain that parents have to bear for the death of a child because of hazing was clear in the media interviews with the father of slain UST student.

Considering that fraternities in colleges and universities in the country have members who are now fathers, can’t they draw from the love they have for their children in making change in the tradition of these fraternities?

Will it be less painful for a fraternity man to lose a child because of hazing?

Every time a life is senselessly lost due to fraternity hazing, the nation focuses on the issue. The condemnation of the act, the prosecution of those responsible, and the “strengthening“ of laws are among the things we usually do when somebody died from hazing.

These actions are obviously not enough but they are nonetheless necessary because without such insufficient actions, the problems cause by hazing will be a lot worse. But we should not also stop doing more because if we do, fraternity hazing will claim more lives.

    I do like the way you have presented this particular challenge and it does indeed give me personally a lot of fodder for consideration. Nevertheless, coming from everything that I have seen, I simply hope as the actual responses pack on that folks remain on issue and in no way embark on a soap box of some other news du jour. Anyway, thank you for this excellent piece and even though I do not really concur with this in totality, I respect your standpoint.

    Thank you for this article. I’d personally also like to express that it can often be hard while you are in school and merely starting out to establish a long credit history. There are many pupils who are simply just trying to endure and have a long or favourable credit history is often a difficult thing to have.

    A different issue is that video gaming became one of the all-time largest forms of entertainment for people spanning various ages. Kids have fun with video games, plus adults do, too. The particular XBox 360 is among the favorite video games systems for many who love to have a lot of games available to them, and also who like to learn live with some others all over the world. Thanks for sharing your notions.

    Thanks for your write-up. I also think laptop computers are getting to be more and more popular currently, and now are often the only type of computer included in a household. The reason being at the same time potentially they are becoming more and more reasonably priced, their processing power keeps growing to the point where there’re as effective as desktop coming from just a few years back.

    Good article. It is rather unfortunate that over the last one decade, the travel industry has already been able to to handle terrorism, SARS, tsunamis, flu virus, swine flu, along with the first ever real global recession. Through it the industry has really proven to be powerful, resilient in addition to dynamic, getting new solutions to deal with adversity. There are often fresh issues and the possiblility to which the field must once more adapt and act in response.

    Thank you for sharing most of these wonderful articles. In addition, the ideal travel as well as medical insurance program can often reduce those fears that come with journeying abroad. Some sort of medical emergency can quickly become expensive and that’s bound to quickly set a financial impediment on the family’s finances. Having in place the excellent travel insurance program prior to setting off is worth the time and effort. Cheers
