    Hazing in PMA

    By Bea Ganotisi
    X - St. Philip

    At 5:15 AM, September 18, 2019, Darwin Dormitorio was declared dead due to cardiac
    arrest secondary to internal hemorrhage. (Acosta, 2019) His death shocked and worried the
    masses. Dormitorio was a cadet in training at The Philippine Military Academy, where he was
    abused by his colleagues. There should be more strict rules regarding incidents like this, as what
    lead to this incident is lack of supervision, and also lack of discipline.

    It was said that he was being abused because of an ‘initiation’ as stated by his fellow
    cadets. (Dumlao & Cabrera, 2019) He was tasered on his private areas, because of losing his
    training boots. (Laude, 2019) Does this cadet deserve to suffer this much? Why weren’t there any
    interventions? I think it was all because of ignorance. The absence of overseers resulted into this
    situation.

    There are now being some actions being taken to stop hazing, with Kabataan Party-list
    Rep. Sarah Elago saying “We join his parents in looking forward to an investigation into Darwin’s
    death. Cadets and students everywhere don’t expect deaths to happen inside schools, especially
    in the country’s most prestigious military academy,” (Sadongdong, 2019)

    All in all, Darwin Dormitorio’s death was a tragic one. Filled with the abuse and ignorance
    of other people. The tales of abuse are really saddening and unfair, but there have been actions
    made to prevent this. I suppose if given enough time, hazing will eventually fade
