Senators probe Adamson hazing death, push for law reforms

Senators are investigating the fatal hazing death of Adamson University student John Matthew Salilig, questioning university officials and fraternity members.

Senators Francis Tolentino and Jinggoy Estrada criticized Adamson for failing to monitor unrecognized fraternities and taking decisive action.

Senator Raffy Tulfo proposed amending RA 11053 to hold venue owners, facilitators, and school officials accountable with reclusion perpetua penalties.

The Senate aims to strengthen the Anti-Hazing Law rather than conduct a parallel investigation.
