SENATOR Juan Ponce Enrile called his Sigma Rho brods “trainers of thugs and killers.” Former UP prexy Nemenzo, a Sigma Rhoan, condemned the culture of violence cultivated by fraternities. Former Senate president Jovito Salonga threatened to break his ties with Sigma Rho if the latter is proven to be responsible for the death of Cris Mendez.
Yet [Iloilo] Vice Gov. Rolex Suplico, in deadpan fashion, dismissively opined that “there is no concrete evidence that the death of the UP student (Cris Mendez) was caused by the fraternity’s initiation rites.” Such a cold, cold heart.
The vice governor just put his foot where his mouth is.

why is it so hard to flush out those responsible for this mess? if the sigma rho fraternity wants to re-establish their integrity, they should help in solving this crime. vice gov. suplico, shut up!! if you don’t have anything useful to share, just shut the f&*# up!!

“Kiackazzmomma” was right. Until Suplico’s son, grandson or someone dear to his heart suffers the same fate as Cris Mendez, he will never realize the pain of Cris’ mom. But of course, this will be far from being true. Those evil fratmen will not dare inflict physical pain that may cause death to the son of some rich bitch. Malas ang batang Cris kasi poor siya. Kung nangyari iyan sa kamag-anak ni Suplico, kahit pa Sigma Rhoan sila, magtago na sila sa mga sinapupunan ng nagpanganak sa kanila.

Sinabi nila na ang Fraternity ay dapat na i abolish. Actually, di natin makukuha na iabolish ang fraternity simply becoz, yan ay isang tradition ng mga Universities within and outside Metro Manila. Maaari siguro nating sabihin na ‘change’ but not ‘abolish’. And besides, the real essence of Fraternity is brotherhood. Its just ‘hazing’ ung nagdadala ng bad image sa fraternity. So, instead na fraternity ung iabolish, ‘hazing’ rather ung dapat. Becoz there are some frat org na may mabuting nagagawa for the people of their own school.
Wala tayong law na nagsasabing bawal ang hazing (Ung anti-hazing na sinasabi nila ay may point na ‘as much as possible ay huwag gawin ang hazing’). So ung gagawin natin ay dapat na merong magpasa ng bill na ipagbawal ang hazing or iabolish ang hazing among fraternities. And marami rin tayong options na gawing tests sa mga gustong sumali sa fraternities.
Well, its just my opinion coz kung ako ang tatanungin, im a ‘pro frat’, ‘anti hazing’ student.
