MANILA, Philippines — De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde student Guillo Servando's death from alleged hazing resurrected the clamor for more stringent measures against violence in fraternities and schools.
The enactment of Republic Act 8049 Anti-Hazing Law in 1995 under President Fidel Ramos did not stop the brutal rites usually to admit new members into a brotherhood, organization or profession.
