San Beda College of Law condemns hazing of Bedan Marvin Reglos

February 22, 2012 10:07pm
Even as it condemned his brutal death last weekend, the college of suspected hazing victim Marvin Reglos has started its own investigation into the circumstances behind the incident.
 
In a statement, the San Beda College of Law also vowed to cooperate with the probe conducted by the Philippine National Police and National Bureau of Investigation.
 
"The administration of the San Beda College of Law and the Law Student Government have already constituted a committee to conduct the investigation of the administrative aspect. We will fully cooperate in the investigation of the NBI and PNP," it said.
 
Reglos died last weekend, allegedly while undergoing hazing rites of the Lambda Rho Beta fraternity in Antipolo City.
 
His remains were brought to the San Beda College premises in Manila early Wednesday.
 
"The San Beda College of Law seems to be quiet in the middle of this tragedy but rest assured that San Beda College of Law does not toil on half-baked justice," the law school said.
 
"The San Beda College of Law condemns this unlawful and dreadful act of violence. We grieve over a life put to waste. The San Beda College of law condemns 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," it added.
 
It also said that while the San Beda Law administration immediately acts to protect the rights of its students and assist the victims, it is also taking the initial steps to seeking justice for the students.
 
"The San Beda College of Law offers its sincerest grief and prayers to the family of Marvin. It upsets us that we can only do so much. 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," it vowed. — ELR, GMA News
