The implementation of the
Anti-hazing Law has been less stringent for the past few years. A number of
fraternities, sororities and other social organizations have been negligent of
the rules set forth by the Philippine Constitution.
Hazing as a form of prerequisite for admission to
fraternities is illicit. The study of sociology maintains that organizations
are formed to propagate unity and mutual reciprocity. In this regard, what
happens now is a complete opposite of the norm.
Organizations
are essential; it strengthens and gives inner importance to people. What is
questioned here is their prerequisite for admission. It is provided by law that
organizations are allowed to do their own way of facilitating admission. But
just do not inflict any form of physical harm to neophytes. In this manner, the
reformulation of the latter would have to stop all illegal acts by social
organizations and therefore, prevent fatalities.
Fraternities
nowadays, usually place their neophytes to humiliating and silly tasks and by
subjecting them to physical and psychological suffering. In the effort to
strengthen their brotherhood, initiation rites have caused deaths instead. It
is such heartache that things have turned out differently as to how it used to
be before.
The reformulation of the Republic Act No. 8049 has to
commence for if no reformulation happens, the problem is far from over. The
growing negligence of social organizations is an alarming issue and the
lawmakers have to make stronger regulatory policies so that these unlawful
activities could approach its last episode.
