It was a mix of anger and pity when Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Secretary Jonvic Remulla finally saw the burns suffered by more than 20 cadets of the Philippine National Police Academy (PNPA) in a latest—and so far the most cruel— hazing incident in the institution, ironically for future law enforcers.

00:00Sir, do you think kailangan dagdagan pa yung mga PNP officers na namamahala doon sa PNPA?
00:08Hindi naman. It's procedural talaga.
00:11It is a structure that has existed for 30 years and it has graduated very many fine gentlemen.
00:18General Torre being one of them.
00:22But the culture of initiations has to stop.
00:25Lalo na yung physical initiations, lalo na ang magbuhos ka ng liquid sosa at muriatic acid sa isam sa mga
00:34kadete.
00:35Buti na lang, walang babaeng naapektuhan, puro kalalakihan lang.
00:40But nevertheless, it is unacceptable.
00:43Ako po, may fraternity ako nung college, yung Upsilon Sigma Phi.
00:48Pero hindi po ako dumaan sa ganyang klase.
00:50Yung ginawa po ngayon, this is the worst I have ever seen outside yung mga namamatay, katulad yung nangyari doon
00:57sa Cavite nung isang buwan.
01:00But in this form of torture, this is the worst I've ever seen.
01:04Sir, nabanggit ni Chief PNP kanina na magkakaroon ng reshuffle.
01:08Ibig sabihin po ba, ire-relieve yung siyam ng mga opisyal sa PNPA?
01:12Hintayin nyo na lang. We will make the announcements after the command conference.
01:17Thank you, sir.
01:18Thank you. Next, Mr. Alfred, I'll respond to you.
01:21Morning, sir.
01:23Sir, yung hazing, nangyayarin po yan, hindi lang sa PNPA, pati sa ibang mga police institutions, yung training institutions.
01:34Katulad nung nangyari sa Mindanao very recently.
01:38Meron na tayong anti-hazing law, pero nangyayari pa rin.
01:42Anong gusto nyo, sir?
01:43Ayan ang problema ko eh.
01:45How can you enforce the law if you break the law at the very basic sense, ano, very basic level?
01:51So, this command conference will be about that.
01:55Tigil na yan.
01:56Hazing does not make you a better police officer.
02:02Hazing does not make you more loyal to the PNP.
02:07Hazing is a function of ego.
02:12Kala nila, tiga sila.
02:14Kala nila, matapang sila.
02:16Ang gusto nila, yung mga nakalaban-laban sinasaktan.
02:19This has got to stop.
02:23Balikan ko lang po yung hazing.
02:25Ano po ba talaga nag-trigger dun sa incident?
02:30Tingin ko may psychological problems yung tatlo eh.
02:34Para maghalo ka ng liquid salsa at maghalo ka ng muriatic acid, tapos ipahid mo sa likod ng kandidato,
02:44meron ka ng barbarism sa utak mo eh.
02:48Parang, sa kanila siguro, I don't know what was undermined,
02:53but the act speaks for itself.
02:55It was brutal yung ginawa nila.
02:58Anong reason? Bakit umabot sa ganito?
03:00Ano lang yan.
03:01Ang hazing kasi is a superior to a junior eh.
03:04You're imposing your will on them na wala silang magawa.
03:07So, ayun na nagiging mindset nila.
03:10Gusto na sila nga?
03:11Okay naman.
03:12They're undergoing medical treatment and psychological treatment.
03:16But they, wala naman mamamatay.
03:20But the damage is too much, diba?
03:22Sobra yun.
03:23And it's unacceptable.
03:24But, to make sure, okay?
03:27Walang arigluhan dito sa tatlong nahuli na to.
03:31I will make sure to the full extent of my capacity,
03:35na yung tatlo ay will be charged dun sa anti-hazing law.
03:39And I will make sure that all the procedures are followed,
03:44that all the case buildup is done,
03:46and we will charge them.
03:48And hopefully, and I am pretty sure,
03:52makukulong sila.
04:04You
