MANILA, Philippines — The National Bureau of Investigation and the Philippine National Police have been asked to identify and find the doctor who allegedly refused to help Adamson University
student John Matthew Salilig as he was fighting for his life after undergoing a fraternity’s brutal “welcoming rites” last month.
Lee, according to the senator, reportedly called up the doctor after Salilig suddenly collapsed when he was brought to a house in Parañaque City following the hazing rites. “Apparently, Tan cannot identify who that doctor was. We are trying to pursue other information to identify him,” Martinez told the senator. He added that Lee was among 11 other suspects who were still at large.Tolentino, who presided over the hearing as chair of the Senate justice and human rights committee, said that the doctor should be held criminally liable for leaving Salilig for dead.
He added that he was in their house in Zamboanga City when one of his two sons, who had sought police assistance in locating their missing brother, informed him on the night of Feb. 27 that Salilig was “already dead, but his body could not be found.”He told reporters after the Senate hearing that those involved in hazing should face the death penalty, which had been abolished in the Philippines in 2006, to stop fraternity-related violence once and for all.
