REACTION TO PNP CHIEF’S STATEMENT ABOUT HAZING
While I am aware of the seeming value of hazing in the off-the-books training regimen at police and military academies apparently meant to keep troops from revealing secrets to enemy combatants, I hope PNP Chief Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa will not apply to civilians his liking for hazing.
As one of the principal authors of the proposed new Anti-Hazing Law, I also hope the PNP Chief and all of the PNP, as well as the military, will faithfully and effectively implement the new Anti-Hazing Law when it takes effect, despite their appreciation of how hazing mattered in their careers.
Congress worked long and hard on the new Anti-Hazing Law. It took the hazing death of UST student Horacio “Atio” Castillo for this legislative measure to gain public support and momentum at the House and Senate.
We do not want any more hazing deaths and injuries to any of our children, teenagers, and young adults.
All the authors of the new Anti-Hazing Law hope the PNP, AFP, DILG, barangay officials and watchmen (tanod), school officials, and fraternities and sororities in schools and communities will abide by the new Anti-Hazing Law soon after it is signed by President Rodrigo Roa Duterte or allowed to lapse into effectivity.
