00:00After 7 years, a Manila court convicts 10 fratmen for the 2017 hazing death of UST Law
00:09student Horacio Asho Castillo III.
00:12Ten Aegis Juris Fraternity members are found guilty of violating the old anti-hazing law
00:17and are sentenced to reclusión perpetua.
00:21They are also ordered to jointly pay Castillo's family 625,000 pesos in actual expenses and
00:27damages.
00:28Castillo's death from a fraternity initiation is among the biggest and most controversial
00:32hazing cases in recent history.
00:35Officials of the University of Santo Tomas were called to the Senate in 2017, including
00:39its law dean and Aegis Juris alumnus Nilo Divina.
00:42The investigation led to the enactment of a new anti-hazing law in 2018.
00:47Castillo was a 22-year-old freshman law student when he died after being punched and paddled
00:52for four hours.
