DAVAO CITY – Eight members of a fraternity where Mayor Sebastian “Baste” Duterte is a member were arrested on Sunday after a violent hazing that resulted in the death of a fourth year student of the University of Mindanao and caused serious injury to another.
The mayor belongs to another AKHRO chapter as he attended Ateneo de Davao University for college. Video clips of him seeking support from his fraternity brothers during election or attending AKRHO gatherings while chanting “Long Live Alpha Kappa Rho!” are available online. Authorities said the suspects, who are now under the custody of Mandug Police Station 13, would face charges for violation of Republic Act 8049 or the Anti-Hazing Law.
The school said it has banned all fraternities from the university since the enactment of the Anti-Hazing Law.
If joining a fraternity gives happiness to lots of people including students, so be it. It's their choice. But to persecute the sacred body of your fellow human beings just to be a genuine part of the group is inhuman. It must be abhorred and condemned.
