Facing senators, the leader of the AdU chapter of Tau Gamma Phi said he and his fraternity brothers were just following “tradition” when they repeatedly struck John Matthew Salilig with a wooden paddle as part of their “welcoming rites.” | MRamosINQ /PDI
“For me, maybe it’s not. But I was just following the tradition ,” Teng replied in Filipino. “I was afraid not to comply because I might be subjected to DA .”
Teng did not explain why Salilig still had to undergo the ordeal when the latter was already considered a Tau Gamma member since 2020 after passing initiation rites in Zamboanga City. Responding to questions from Sen. Francis Tolentino, he said he saw how the Tau Gamma members tried to revive Salilig after he had a seizure and fell unconscious.
He identified those who snarled at his pleading as “Bonez” and “Thugz,” two of the 10 other suspects tagged by the police and who remained at large.
