Sad 2hear of another hazing death. Never believed violence made
perpetrator or victim more of a man. True brotherhood means more

Angara is a member of the Sigma Rho fraternity based in the University of the Philippines-Diliman College of Law.
The group has been tagged in the death of freshman UP Law student Cris Mendez in 2007.
Mendez allegedly died while undergoing the fraternity’s initiation rites.
Condemnation
In a statement, youth organization Anakbayan condemned the incident and called on authorities to “swiftly and decisively act” to bring the perpetrators to justice.
“We in Anakbayan uphold the ‘right to organize’ as a very important right of every Filipino. However, it should not be used to let those directly responsible for hazing-related deaths as well as the involved fraternity, escape from the hands of justice. The ‘right to organize’ does not include the right to injure, maim, and kill,” it said.
Anakbayan urged alumni from fraternities to help put an end to the “barbaric tradition of Greek-lettered societies.”
The group also called on all student organizations and associations, especially fraternities, to discard the usage of brutal, violent, and fatal hazing. It said the student organizations should devote their time and efforts to providing community service.
