Authorities are still looking for other members of the Tau Gamma Phi - Longos Chapter, the group blamed for Rabutazo's death.
Remil Rabutazo, the victim’s father, said at least 23 fraternity members were present at the hazing, some of them their relatives.
Based on the medico legal report, Rabutazo, a Grade 12 student, succumbed to subdural hemorrhage after he was hit by a blunt object on the head during the initiation rites. —Joviland Rita/KBK, GMA News
