MANILA, Philippines — The Polytechnic University of the Philippines (PUP) dismissed two cadet officers under the Reserved Officers' Training Course (ROTC) due to allegations of hazing.

The PUP Public Information Office reported that university vice president Juan Birion decided to expel cadet officers Daniel Tuico and Liezl Ariston based on the recommendation of the university's disciplinary board.

The hazing victim identified only as Sheena presented a medical certificate and photos of her injuries and bruises allegedly inflicted by the ROTC cadet officers.

Sheena said she was beaten up as a punishment for failing to attend an applicants' briefing night.
