01:31It's like my mother was noticed.
01:35Because my mother is already old.

02:24It was more than half a meter long.
02:27The snake might have hidden inside the house due to the flood.

02:34This is Jay Torrida of GMA Regional TV, reporting for GMA Integrated News.
02:41The Supreme Court ruled that the former Presidential Spokesperson, Harry Roque,
02:46wanted to protect the contempt and arrest of the House Quad Committee.
02:51In the petition for the Rate of Amparo on September 23,
02:55Roque denied that the Quad Committee abused their power.
02:59According to the Supreme Court,
03:01the Rate of Amparo was not included in the contempt and detention orders of the House.
03:05It was only used in extrajudicial killings or forced disappearances.
03:09The Supreme Court granted the Quad Committee 10 days
03:13to comment on the Petition for Prohibition that Roque denied.
03:17Roque was arrested by the Quad Committee
03:19because he did not respond to the hearings about the illegal snakes.
03:24He also did not submit the necessary documents
03:26to explain the sudden increase of his assets.
03:30Roque previously denied that he will not be arrested by the Quad Committee
03:34and that he will not submit any documents.
03:37GMA Integrated News is also trying to get the statement of Roque
03:41and the Quad Committee Chairpersons about the Supreme Court's decision.
03:46After 7 years,
03:48the 10 members of the Supreme Court were found guilty and sentenced by the Constitutional Perpetua
03:53for the murder of UST Law student Atio Castillo due to hazing.
03:58This is the news brought to you by Oscar Oida.
04:03Atio Castillo, a 22-year-old,
04:05was a first-year law student at the University of Santo Tomas.
04:10In a blink of an eye,
04:12his life came to an end
04:14when he fell for the initiation rites of the fraternity,
04:17the Aegis Juris.
04:19At a funeral in Manila,
04:20Atio's parents buried the corpse of his son,
04:24who was buried in a tree in Pasa.
04:26Atio was believed to have died in the repeated beating of a paddle.
04:317 years later,
04:33the verdict came out.
04:35Guilty beyond reasonable doubt,
04:37the 10 members of the Aegis Juris Fraternity
04:41were found guilty of violating Section 4-1 of the Anti-Hazing Law of 1995.
04:47They were sentenced by the Reclusion Perpetua
04:50or maximum up to 40 years in prison.
04:54They were also fined almost half a million actual expenses
04:58and 75,000 pesos in moral damages,
05:01exemplary damages,
05:03and civil indemnity.
05:05Guilty verdict is a team effort.
05:08We all placed our 100 percent
05:11and we got our conviction.
05:13It's a long journey,
05:157 years.
05:17This is how we imagined it to be.
05:20We will bring it here.
05:25Those 7 years,
05:27I think for our son,
05:29it is worth it.
05:31Based on the decision of Manila Regional Trial Court,
05:34Branch 11,
05:36and testimonies,
05:38there are 3 elements needed to say there is hazing.
05:41First, there is initiation right.
05:43Second, there is neophyte.
05:46And third,
05:47there is neophyte.
05:49There is neophyte.
05:51There is neophyte.
05:53There is neophyte.
05:55There is neophyte.
05:57There is neophyte.
05:59There is neophyte.
06:01There is neophyte.
06:03There is neophyte.
06:05There is neophyte.
06:07There is neophyte.
06:09There is neophyte.
06:11There is neophyte.
06:13There is neophyte.
06:15There is neophyte.
06:17According to the court,
06:19they were with the ziet ulvasa with the news of hazing.
06:22And even though he had some condition in his heart,
06:25which led him to die from a cardiac arrest,
06:27according to the court,
06:29his execution我有
06:31became more dangerous.
06:34And his death came in a highest speed.
06:38This is justice for Acho and win for the prosecution caught.
06:42Thank you so much for all your support.
06:44The lawyers and relatives of the fixed prisoners were not given an intercession.
06:47I'm holding the University of Santo Tomas responsible for the death of our son.
06:56It has been proven that ageist jurists have been practicing hazing and it's time to check
07:02your policies.
07:03The university, the civil law department, the dean himself failed to protect our son.
07:12I think it's about time heads should roll in UST.
07:17The dean of UST civil law sympathizes with Atio's parents but he doesn't agree with
07:23some of what they said.
07:26Atio's mother specifically said that UST and the faculty of civil law failed to protect
07:33the law student.
07:34UST always implements measures for the safety and well-being of the students but some individuals
07:44say that it doesn't matter.
07:47They ensure a safe environment and improve the measures so that the tragedy won't happen
07:54again.
07:55Atio's death paved the way for the enactment of Republic Act 11053 or Anti-Hazing Act of
08:042018.
08:05But the violence against the so-called brotherhood seems to have no end.
08:11Based on the data of GMA Integrated News Research, less than 40 were infected because of the
08:18hazing from 1954 to 2024.
08:21This is a summary of a grade 11 student named Ren Joseph Bayan who died of hemorrhagic shock
08:29due to bruises on his body.
08:31Based on the investigation, the story of Ren Joseph Bayan is that the members of TAUGAMAFI
08:39and BANGKAY NANG IHATID, his nephew, came to their house in a van from the initiation
08:44of the FRAT.
08:45The Nueva Ecija Provincial Police Office is preparing a complaint.
08:50They also mentioned the six personalities involved in this case.
08:54Some of them were involved in the help of one of the members of the so-called hazing.
09:00One of them was verified or recognized by a neophyte who survived the hazing.
09:06The other one is what they call the grandmaster of the so-called fraternity.
09:14That's where our investigators based their investigation.
09:18Maybe today or tomorrow, we will be able to file the case in the prosecutor's office
09:23so that we can give justice to the victim.
09:29For now, the officers of the fraternity are yet to contact the police.
09:35We just want you to give up.
09:39You can still do something to correct your mistakes.
09:42It's not too late.
09:43The officers of the NBI-Kabanatuan are in contact with the victim's family.
09:48They are ready to help in the case.
09:51Joseph's mother, who is from Qatar, also arrived in Burol.
09:56She works there as an OFW and was forced to go home because of what happened to her son.
10:03Justice is her only desire for her son.
