17 face raps in Adamson student’s hazing death
However, in the course of investigation, they became suspects when Dela Cruz showed up and positively identified them as those principally involved in brutalizing Salilig and himself.Gregorio Cruz — the father of Aron Cruz, who is also a Tau Gamma member and person of interest — was also detained on Wednesday for obstruction of justice for refusing to hand over the blue-grey Ford Everest of his son in their home in Parañaque City.
Witnesses told investigators Salilig was beaten with a paddle more than 70 times during which he vomited and even defecated himself.Of the 11 other persons of interest, three who are members of Tau Gamma’s Biñan chapter had already surrendered to the local police. The eight others who are members of the fraternity’s Adamson chapter have not yet surfaced.
One of the largest fraternities in the country, Tau Gamma Phi was founded in 1968 by students from the University of the Philippines Diliman. Its members call themselves “triskelions.” Cebu police chief Col. Ireneo Dalogdog said they got wind of Baguio’s death after the student was brought to the Cebu City Medical Center for treatment of difficulty in breathing and bruises all over his body on Dec. 18. He was pronounced dead at 5 p.m., two and a half hours after he was brought in.
