SENATOR Jose “Jinggoy” Estrada urged authorities to arrest all those involved in the hazing death of Ahldryn Bravante and make them pay for their crime.

The police have filed criminal charges against some individuals days after Bravante’s death on October 16.

Estrada said authorities need to take extra effort to end hazing, which persists despite a law banning it.

Estrada said that violence should never be the measure in accepting members of fraternities and other school organizations.

“Nakakabahala na kahit na may mahigpit na batas na tayong ipinatutupad laban sa hazing, marami pa rin ang patuloy na lumalabag dito,” Estrada said.

“Nakakagalit malaman na mayroon pa rin na mga kabataan na malalakas ang loob na magsagawa ng mali at mapanganib na gawain sa ngalan ng tinatawag nilang kapatiran,” he added.

The senator said justice must be ensured for the victim and their family.

“The full force of the law should be applied to prevent such senseless and tragic incidents from happening again,” he said.

“This tragic incident serves as a vivid reminder of the pressing need to eliminate hazing from our educational institutions and society. Our young people deserve nothing less.”
