Castillo, then a 22-year-old student at the UST Faculty of Civil Law, succumbed to severe injuries he sustained during a fraternity activity in September 2017, according to case records.

“Unfortunately, no institution is immune to individuals who choose to disregard these measures. We remain committed to ensuring a safe environment and will continue improving our efforts to prevent such tragedies from happening again,” Divina said in a Viber message.Castillo was found unconscious and covered by a blanket on a sidewalk in Tondo, Manila, on Sept. 17, 2017. His arms were badly bruised, while candle wax drippings marked other parts of his body.
The programme was abolished in 2001 following public outrage over the killing of another UST student, Mark Welson Chua, who had exposed corrupt practices in the university’s ROTC programme.
