Officials of the Philippine Military Academy (PMA) should allow an impartial investigation into the death of a 20-year-old plebe whom police said succumbed to hazing, Senate Majority Leader Juan Miguel Zubiri said on Sunday.

“The Academy must open themselves to investigation or they themselves will be subject to harsh penalties under the new law we authored,” Zubiri said in a statement.

The amended anti-hazing law was passed as a result of the Senate’s investigation on the senseless killing of University of Santo Tomas freshman law student Horacio “Atio” Castillo III from his supposed fraternity brothers. Investigators are now looking into the involvement of three 3rd class cadets and one 1st class cadet in the death of Dormitorio, who hails from Cagayan de Oro City.

As far as he is concerned, the majority leader said the young men who punched out the life of their fellow cadet “are deemed knowledgeable, disciplined and upright.”
