    San Beda College of Law: Frats not recognized

    By Shielo Mendoza | Yahoo! Southeast Asia Newsroom – Wed, Feb 22, 2012

    The San Beda College of Law has condemned the violence supposedly employed by a fraternity that led to the recent death of its freshman law student.
     
    “We condemn the system of brotherhood that employs violence, intimidation, intentional force, or reckless imprudence as part of any of its ceremonies or practices. Consequently, the school does not recognize their existence,” the college administration said in a statement Wednesday.
     
    Marvin Reglos, 25, was declared dead on arrival at the hospital Sunday night after sustaining injuries in an alleged hazing incident. The victim was identified only on Tuesday morning by his relatives, an ABS-CBN report said.
     
    “The San Beda College of Law condemns this unlawful and dreadful act of violence. We grieve over a life put to waste,” the statement said.
     
    According to the report, Reglos sustained severe bruises on several parts of his body. He supposedly sustained the bruises during his initiation rites in the unidentified fraternity.
     
    The report added that two suspects were arrested on the same night the victim was rushed to the hospital. Authorities have filed murder and hazing charges against alleged fraternity members Erick Castillo and Bodjie Yap, who were arrested after they went back to the hospital, supposedly to check on Reglos’ condition.
     
    The administration of the San Beda College of Law said that together with the Law Student Government, they have constituted a committee to conduct the investigation of the administrative aspect. They will likewise fully cooperate in the investigation of the National Bureau of Investigation and Philippine National Police, the statement read.
     
    “We give our word that we will assist in attaining justice as we will exact every means necessary to appease your worn-out hearts and mind. The lion will not sleep until justice is served in its rightful form,” the San Beda admin said.

      Heto na naman, Pwede po naman tayo siguro mabubuhay at makapag hanap ng trabaho na walang fraternity. Para sa akin ang tunay at tapat na kaibigan ay sapat na,.

      Isipin nyo ang mga magulang nyo ni kurot parang hindi magawa sa inyo dahil mataas ang pangarap nila para sa inyo. Pero pag sali nyo sa fraternity, papaluin ka, bubugbogin, na hindi naman importante sa brotherhood.

        this guy was 25 and a freshman in Law School, which would largely suggest that this is already his second degree. all his own and his parent;s hard work get put into waste just by joining. in other news sheets, Police says the evidences are strong to who are involved on the hazing. tons of text where sent to the suspects not to say anything who are involved. idiots.
        sasali sali kayo sa frat ang tatapang niyo pero hindi niyo mapanagutan napatay niyo!? step up punks!

      tanong lang, bakit ba ang fraternity o sorority kailangan manakit para lang mapatunayan yung sinasabing pagmamahal sa grupo?? Pero pag nagkagipitan naman, bahala ka na sa buhay mo at kanya kanyang tago na. Ang malungkot, parang wala atang nakakahalata sa sistemang ito...

        madami na ring namatay sa tradisyon na yan. tradisyon na rin na magtakbuhan at basta na lang iwanan ang namatay na neophyte. tradisyon na rin na maghugas kamay sa insidente. tradisyon na rin na ipaglaban ng mga brod na nasa mataas na pwesto na sa gobyerno. ewan ko kung saan napulot ang ganitong klaseng concept ng kapatiran. kawawang neophyte....mas masahol pa ang sinapit niya kesa kay abel (sa Bibliya). "TUNAY NA KAPATIRAN". Yeah....rrrriiiiggghhhttt!!!!

        oo marami na nga kuya. itanong mo nalang po sa mga nagtatag ng bawat bawat fraternities sa pinas kung saan nakuha ang concept na ganyan. tigas ng mukha mo maglathala ng ganyang walang kwentang bintang. may alam ka ba sa frat o sorority? wala naman dba? yung masamang nangyayari alam niyo pero yung magagandang nagagawa namin wala lang sa inyo. magabasa ka nalang kuya ng bibliya.

      This is a call to the DEPED or Department of Education, just like the anti- bullying law they made. DEPED must and should do something to abolish Fraternity.

        it is the same thing in the US where majority joins secret societies like skull and bones as well free masonry in order to get at the top of the game. they sold their souls to the devil for fame and fortune at the expense of their souls. i wouldn't be surprised if the illuminati and those new world order freaks are running the government from behind. open your eyes, people these are the all tell tale signs that they are preparing us for the luciferian ideology!. while there is still time left, repent and accept Christ in your life. if you have doubts whether the illuminati exists at all. look at you tube and educate yourselves. wake up my dear country men and women! reject the satanic new world order, Jesys is the wau, the truth and the life!

      ba't may mga nababasa akong pabor sa frat? kesyo takot daw sumali yong mga ayaw sa frat. sa totoo lang yung mga ayaw sumali sa frat ang mga matatapang. kasi kaya naming tumayo sa sarili naming paa. ita-try muna naming makamit ang aming goal na wala munang back up. at hindi kami nagsisiga-sigaan dahil alam naming may nasasandalan kaming frat. kaya naming makipagsapalaran na kami lang o kasama ang aming mga TOTOONG KAIBIGAN (na hindi kami sinasaktan). at sa totoo lang, hindi mo dapat bugbugin yong tao bago mo xa tawaging kapatid. sadista ba mga kapatid nyo? bakit mo ba pagkakatiwalaan ang taong, bago ka yayakapin eh sasampal sampalin ka muna? tanga.

        CursedMachine, paki-enlighten mo naman kami (kasi mukhang may alam ka naman sa frat issues), ano ba ang pinaka-objective nung violent initiation? ano yung dahilan bakit kelangan iprove ng isang naghahangad sumali sa frat na kaya nyang lusutan yung masakit at marahas na initiation..di naman kayo gang para kelangan yung mga matitigas lang ang maging member nyo tama? so ano po ba? baka may matutunan ang ibang mambabasa naten.

      "the school does not recognize its existence" means it's turning a blind eye of fraterneties in their campus but really are happening under their noses..it's the proverbial "washing of hands". If San beda is serious abt ridding these gangs, they should act and not just talk..talking will not solve this crime.

      Violence begets violence. If you start up in an organization through violence....violence will be a never-ending activity. Wag magpaka-tanga. Join worthwhile clubs instead. San Beda has the martial arts clubs, music clubs, and other extra-curricular activities that promote camaraderie and respect among peers. Huwag itapon ang buhay sa walang kakuwenta kuwentang grupo.

      Most of the schools have FRATERNITY and SORORITY, when i was in college I have a friend who suffered violence from them. It's true, before you became a member of that GANG or whatever you call that group you will suffer pain first! It's nonsense! Schools should not allowed that kind of GANG it will just ruin the future of every student that will dies because of that initiation. Honestly, most of the member of that Sila yong mga Siga sa campus at Mayabang.

      Di ko talaga lubos maiisip sa ngayon kung bakit sobrang lulupit ng Fraternity sa Initiation rites na ibinibigay sa mga neophytes, hindi mo naman mapwersa ang Loyalty ng mga yan sa sobra sobrang pagpalo at pag gulpi sa mag gustong maging Member bagkus nagkakaroon lang ng pag ganti sa kapwa nila na gusto maging member para makabawi sa dinanas nila noon.

      Yung Essence ng paraan ng pagsali ay wala na sa ginagawa nila, at hindi na kapatiran kung sobrang pag mamalupit ang kinahahantungan.

      Papano pa makaka anyaya sumali upang ipalaganap ang Prinsipyo ng Kapatiran eh kung papatayin rin naman ang may gusto.

      Hindi lang nila sinira ang kinabukasan ng nabiktima nila kundi pati kinabukasan din nila dahil sa kanilang pagkakasangkot.

      Ang katotohan ang Fraternity ay hindi na mawawala sa Lipunan, pero hindi naman nangangahulugan na dapat ituloy ang pagmamalupit sa Kapwa tao.

      Fraternities. Dont get how people would join these. They make me sick. Most of them at least (since i dont know all the fraternities in the world but they generally give bad impressions). Only stupid people will join them.

      Simple lang essence nito, pag sumali ka at alam mo kung anong maaring pagdaanan mo before ka maging kasapi nila ang LAKI MONG TANGA. At kung member ka na tapos papaluin at iterrorize mo yung mga baguhan dahil tradition daw, BALIW.

      First of all condolence to the family of these Law Student.

      The ritual most people connect with negative outcomes in fraternities is hazing. Hazing refers to the initiation rituals, customs or traditions new pledges must be a part of in order to join. Hazing practices have caused deaths and injuries after fraternity leaders subjected pledges to dangerous tasks like binge drinking, locking them in enclosed spaces or asking them to perform risky physical stunts. Hazing practices are not only dangerous to the individuals who must perform them, but they also compromise the reputation and integrity of the fraternity as a whole.

      Another negative effect of fraternities is the social exclusivity factor. Fraternities promote an environment where nonmembers are considered outsiders. Often times, students are encouraged not to associate with other students who are not brothers or will be punished for being seen at social events outside of the fraternity. This kind of exclusivity is counterproductive to what a college social environment should be: tolerant, diverse and dynamic.

      In my opinion and own experience. I was once became a President of a "Fraternity" I was young at that time. Initiation was exciting, we did not think of the risk and we were not aware of the consequences if something goes wrong during hazing.

      Marami kase ang mga Fraternities and Sororities sa bawat bansa especially sa Pilipinas. Mag tataka ka nalang yung iba eh they are not even known. For me this is another problem, yes a problem that is very difficult to solve. (It will be solve) For me everyone and every community has to participate even the Government to stop this. Siguro mas maganda kung sa mga Schools tayo mag simula dapat ponduhan ng Gubyerno ito like isang subject sya na "Affect ng Hazing". Marami kase mga studyante na gusto sumali dahil sa tingin nila pag naka sali sila eh wala ng gagalaw sa kanila at me protection sila. Dapat malaman ng mga estudyante ang "Risk" ng Hazing. Lecturers at school should be eduated at this so they can pass that to students. Government should pay for the requirements needed for teacher for them to perform the task. Extra security also is needed sa mga schools. Then mag implement ng Parusa pag nahulian sa mga ganitong actividad.

      Nung nasa Fraternity pa ako super yabang ako lalo na nung na promote akong Presidente. Wala akong kinatatakutan kahit na anong away sige lang ng sige. Dalawang beses rin ako na kulong. Pero now, ngayon ko lang naisip na mahalaga ang buhay ng tao. Kung totoo man na me 9 lives ang pusa remember 1 lang ang buhay ng tao. Masakit ang mawalan ng mahal sa buhay.

      Sana Magising na ang Gubyerno at kung hindi man tayong mga mamamayan at mag masid at umaksion. Walang mag tutulungan kung di tayo tayo rin.

      Pasensya na kung na bored kayo sa mahaba kong salaysay, dahil ako ay nawalan na rin ng kaibigan sa Hazing na yan.

      Always,
      TNCseven

      May be its me.... or possible the numbers of incident already reported through out the years...
      but I already feel no pity for the dude... simple because...
      1. like I said... "numbers of incident already reported"
      2. yes its peer pressure... but an individual is not forced into joining...

      seriously... palakasan ng gang ? pero pag dating na ng mga pulis... parang mga daga na di mo alam kung saan nagtaugan mga gang members...

      ito ang payo ko para sa mga ibang gusto sumali ng "gang"
      if you wana bully others or get rich quick... GO LEGIT !!! go join the PNP or enter politics
      in this way, you are rest assured people will continue to kiss your ass in a long term basis...
