UPD TO INVESTIGATE HAZING-RELATED VIOLENCE CLAIMS

/ 9 July 2022

THE UNIVERSITY of the Philippines Diliman will look into an alleged fraternity-related violence that went viral online, its chancellor said.

The University Student Council ordered the Office of Student Ethics to conduct an inquiry into the alleged hazing activities of which photos and videos were posted online.

UPD Chancellor Fidel Nemenzo said he “strongly condemns and reiterates its stand against fraternity-related violence.”

“Although no UPD student has been identified or implicated in any of the photos or videos, the appropriate units of the university will work to look into the matter and coordinate with student organizations to verify information,” he said.

Nemenzo reiterated that those who will lead or join hazing rites will be held liable under the UPD Student Code and Anti-Hazing law.
