or other substance, or any other brutal treatment of forced physical activity
which is likely to adversely affect the physical and psychological health of such
recruit, neophyte, applicant, or member.
Hazing shall also include any activity, intentionally made or otherwise, by
one person alone or acting with others, that tends to humiliate or embarrass,
degrade, abuse, or endanger, by requiring a recruit, neophyte, applicant or
member to do menial, silly, or foolish tasks (Section 2 of RA No. 8049 as
amended by RA No. 11053, June 29, 2018).

3
4. INITIATION RITE OR PRACTICE
SECTION 2 (B), RA 11053
Initiation or initiation rites refer to ceremonies,
practices, rituals, or other acts, whether formal or
informal, that a person must perform or take part in
order to be accepted into a fraternity, sorority, or
organization as a full-fledged member. It includes
ceremonies, practices, rituals, and other acts in all
stages of membership in a fraternity, sorority, or
organization. 4
5. ORGANIZATION
SECTION 2 (C), RA 11053

rape, sodomy, or mutilation results from hazing.
6
7. MALUM PROHIBITUM
Congress created a special law on hazing founded upon
the principle of mala prohibita where good faith is not a
defense.
The deliberation of the Senate shows that what is
important is not the intention to kill the neophyte during
the hazing but the result of the act hazing. Also, the
framers of the law intended that the consent of the victim
to be injured shall not be a defense in hazing. The very act
of inflicting physical or psychological pain is a punishable
act. Death is just an aggravating circumstance.
7
8. PERSONS LIABLE FOR HAZING
1. Presence – Sec. 14, RA No. 11053 punishes all persons who are present in
the conduct of the hazing. However, the penalty is higher if the persons,

or organization; (2) former officers, nonresident members, or alumni
thereof; (3) members thereof who are intoxicated or under the influence of

accomplices if it is shown that: (1) hazing occurred; (2) the accused
are school authorities or faculty members; and (3) they consented
to or failed to take preventive action against hazing in spite actual
knowledge thereof (People v. Bayabos) or to report the matter to

13
14. The corresponding responsibilities of the principal, accomplice, and

35. 6 NEGROS ROTC OFFICERS SACKED OVER ‘HAZING’
The termination came after a 19-year-old criminology student of the Bago City College complained that he and four others were
maltreated by their upper classmen.
36. BACOLOD CITY, Philippines — Six criminology students in Negros Occidental
have been terminated as cadet officers of the Reserve Officers Training Corps
(ROTC) due to their alleged involvement in a hazing incident.
The termination came after a 19-year-old criminology student of the Bago City
College complained that he and four others were maltreated by their upper
classmen.
The maltreatment reportedly occurred in the restroom of the school last week,
according to Army Capt. Rodillo Famulag, chief of the 605th Community
Defense Center (CDC) of the Army Reserve Command.
The complainant said he was kicked by one of the ROTC officers, causing his
head to hit the wall. He said he felt unwell the following day, prompting his
parents to have his condition checked.
The complainant reportedly suffered hematoma in the abdomen.
37. Famulag said investigation showed the incident occurred during a regular school day and
not during ROTC training.
He clarified that the incident had nothing to do with the ROTC training, saying it was part
of a ceremony of getting accepted into a fraternity group.
Famulag said they do not tolerate any wrongdoing committed by ROTC officers, even as
it is not related to the training.
“To prevent them from doing it possibly during ROTC training, we have to remove them
this early,” Famulag said.
The 605th CDC supervises the training and activities of Army reservists in Negros
Occidental.
Lt. Leomel Adolacion, deputy police chief of Bago City, yesterday clarified that there was
no hazing.
“Maybe the suspects did it for fun, although it happened on campus,” Adolacion said.
He said they have referred the complaint to the school administration for appropriate
action.

THE CASE BACKGROUND
Fernando C. Balidoy, Jr. (Balidoy) was admitted as a probationary midshipman at the
PMMA. In order to reach active status, all new entrants were required to successfully
complete the mandatory "Indoctrination and Orientation Period,“ which was set from 2
May to 1 June 2001. Balidoy died on 3 May 2001.
The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) probed the death of Balidoy. After months of
investigation, it forwarded its findings to the provincial prosecutor of Zambales for the
preliminary investigation and possible criminal prosecution of those involved in the
orientation and indoctrination of the PMMA Class of 2005. Subsequently, the Assistant
Provincial Prosecutor issued a Resolution finding probable cause to charge the principals
to the crime of hazing. A criminal case against Alvarez et al. was then filed with the
Regional Trial Court of Iba, Zambales (RTC–Zambales).

The Assistant Provincial Prosecutor also endorsed to the Deputy
Ombudsman for the Military the finding of probable cause to
charge the following school authorities as accomplices to hazing:

accomplices to the crime of hazing.

As a final point, Bayabos et al. argued that the case against the
principal accused had already been dismissed with finality by the
RTC. There being no more principals with whom they could have
cooperated in the execution of the offense, they asserted that the
case against them must be dismissed.
The Special Prosecutor opposed the motion of Bayabos et al. He
stressed that there was nothing in the law requiring that the
principals must be prosecuted first before a case could be filed
against the accomplices.
45. Six days before Bayabos et al. were set to be arraigned, the Sandiganbayan
issued the assailed dismissing the criminal case against them. According to the
court, the fact that the charge against the principal accused Alvarez et al. was
dismissed with finality favorably carried with it the indictment against those
charged as accomplices, whose criminal responsibility was subordinate to that of
the former. It stressed that before there can be an accomplice, there must be a
principal by direct participation, the latter being the originator of the criminal
design. In this case, as there were no principal perpetrators to speak of,
necessarily, there was no one else with whom they could have cooperated in the
execution of the crime of hazing. In view of the dismissal of the case against the
principals, the court ruled that the Information charging Bayabos et al. as
accomplices could no longer stand on its own.

46. THE ISSUE:
Whether the prosecution of respondents for the crime of
accomplice to hazing can proceed in spite of the dismissal with
finality of the case against the principal accused
46

47. The court ruled that the Sandiganbayan erred when it dismissed outright the case
against respondents, on the sole ground that the case against the purported principals
had already been dismissed. It is a settled rule that the case against those charged as
accomplices is not ipso facto dismissed in the absence of trial of the purported
principals; the dismissal of the case against the latter. In People v. Rafael, the Supreme
Court En Banc reasoned thus: "The corresponding responsibilities of the principal,
accomplice, and accessory are distinct from each other. As long as the commission of
the offense can be duly established in evidence, the determination of the liability of the
accomplice or accessory can proceed independently of that of the principal."
Accordingly, so long as the commission of the crime can be duly proven, the trial of
those charged as accomplices to determine their criminal liability can proceed
independently of that of the alleged principal.

48. PERTINENT PROVISION OF THE ANTI-HAZING LAW
Section 1. Hazing, as used in this Act, is an initiation rite or practice as a prerequisite for
admission into membership in a fraternity, sorority or organization by placing the
recruit, neophyte or applicant in some embarrassing or humiliating situations such as
forcing him to do menial, silly, foolish and other similar tasks or activities or otherwise
subjecting him to physical or psychological suffering or injury.
Sec. 4. x x x x.
The school authorities including faculty members who consent to the hazing or who
have actual knowledge thereof, but failed to take any action to prevent the same from
occurring shall be punished as accomplices for the acts of hazing committed by the
perpetrators. (Emphasis supplied)

RESPONDENT.
G.R. NO. 209464
JULY 1, 2015

The fraternal contract should not be signed
in blood, celebrated with pain, marred by
injuries, and perpetrated through suffering.
That is the essence of republic act (R.A.) No.
8049 or the Anti-Hazing Law of 1995.
50. ANTI-HAZING LAW IN THE PHILIPPINES
R.A. No. 8049, or the Anti-Hazing Law of 1995, has been enacted to regulate
hazing and other forms of initiation rites in fraternities, sororities, and other
organizations. It was in response to the rising incidents of death of hazing
victims, particularly the death of Leonardo "Lenny" Villa. Despite its passage,
reports of deaths resulting from hazing continue to emerge. Recent victims
were Guillo Servando of the College of St. Benilde, Marc Andre Marcos and
Marvin Reglos of the San Beda College - Manila, and Cris Anthony Mendez of
the University of the Philippines - Diliman.
With the continuity of these senseless tragedies, one question implores for an
answer: is R.A. No. 8049 a sufficient deterrent against hazing?
50
51. ANTI-HAZING LAW IN THE PHILIPPINES
To answer the question, the Court must dissect the provisions of the law and
scrutinize its effect, implication and application.
Criminal law has long divided crimes into acts wrong in themselves called acts
mala in se; and acts which would not be wrong but for the fact that positive law
forbids them, called acts mala prohibita. The rule on the subject is that in acts
mala in se, the intent governs; but in acts mala prohibita, the only inquiry is, has
the law been violated? When an act is illegal, the intent of the offender is
immaterial. When the doing of an act is prohibited by law, it is considered
injurious to public welfare, and the doing of the prohibited act is the crime itself.
The crime of hazing under R.A. No. 8049 is malum prohibitum.
51
52. Regulation of School-Based Initiation Rites. Only initiation rites or practices that do not
constitute hazing shall be allowed: Provided, That:
"(a) A written application to conduct initiation rites shall be made to the proper authorities of the
school not later than seven (7) days prior to scheduled initiation date;
"(b) The written application shall indicate the place and date of the initiation rites;
"(c) The initiation rites shall not last more than three (3) days;
"(d) The application shall contain the names of the incumbent officers and any person or persons
who will take charge in the conduct of the initiation rites;
"(e) The application shall be under oath with a declaration that it has been posted and two (2)
other conspicuous places in the school or in the premises of the organization; and
"(f) The application shall be posted from the time of submission of the written notice to the
school authorities or head of organization and shall only be removed from its posting three (3)
days after the conduct of the initiation rites.
