Hazing Victim's Body Found Inside A Drum

MANILA, Philippines – Scavengers sifting through a pile of garbage Wednesday found the body of a 17-year-old Grade 6 student floating in the waters of Manila bay where supposed members of the Tau Gamma Phi fraternity threw him after he succumbed to injuries during the fraternity’s initiation rites.

Police authorities had a difficult time taking the body of Noel Borja, Jr., out of a plastic push cart where he was placed after he was cemented and sealed in a container.

Police theorized that Borja of No. 207, Area Bm Gate 50, Parola compound, Binondo, Manila had been sealed for three days before he was found.

The victim’s friend who survived the hazing said they were recruited by the Tau Gamma Phi fraternity members last Sunday, October 24. A certain “RC” reportedly led the initiation rites inside the undisclosed residence of a certain “Neil.”

Ginamitan ho kami ng paddle at pinatakan ng kandila ang aming katawan” Joshoua told reporters, showing his leg injuries.

Joshua said after the hazing the victim suddenly lost his consciousness. “Sinubukan nilang i-revive at i-pump ang dibdib nito subalit walang nagyari,” the neophyte added.

Joshua even disclosed that he saw the fraternity members tied the victim as others took cement and sand and started mixing it.

The witness added that he also fell asleep due to exhaustion and extreme pain. When he woke up the victim was nowhere to be found.

As for me, why does there have to be hazing when fraternities started? I thought fraternities were about brotherhood. What does your tolerance to pain have something to do about brotherhood? What does it have to do so you can help your brothers? So fraternity members can go to war with fit bodies? Then fraternities are not about brotherhood but just unnecessary violence.

If fraternities really want to test your brotherhood, then frat leaders should test their PERSONALITY. Even though how tough and how six-packed you are, it has NOTHING to do with helping your brothers.

The fact that hazing was there at start makes me think that fraternities are just plain stupid. No offense to the mature members.
