Senators: Adamson student’s death shows weak implementation of Anti-Hazing Law

In a statement, Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri called on law enforcement to ensure that the suspects are dealt with using the full force of the Anti-Hazing Law.

Senate Minority Leader Aquilino "Koko" Pimentel III also emphasized that the penalties under the law "are already very stiff." "Nakakabahala at nakakagalit na bagama’t mayroon na tayong batas upang masugpo ang hazing, ang Anti-Hazing Act , nagpapatuloy pa rin ang ganitong karahasan," he said. Senator Nancy Binay also condemned "the vicious cycle of physical abuse," and pointed out the desire among some lawmakers to implement mandatory ROTC, where hazing incidents have occurred.

In a forum, Senator Ronald "Bato" dela Rosa, a former national police chief, said that while the law enforcement might be lacking, the school administration should impose measures against hazing and fraternities should police their own ranks.
