MANILA, Philippines — Another cadet of the Philippine Military Academy ((PMA) has been tagged as a suspect in the fatal hazing of plebe Darwin Dormitorio, Interior and Local Government Secretary Eduardo Año said yesterday. Co said the cadet, whom he did not identify, joined two other suspects earlier identified by the PMA – Cadets 3rd Class Felix Lumbag and Shalimar Imperial – in hazing Dormitorio about two weeks before the victim died from his injuries. “The incident was only stopped when the first class cadet saw what was happening and intervened,” Co said. Police are expected to file charges for violating the anti-hazing law and possibly murder against the cadets involved in the fatal hazing of Dormitorio. He then rested on the bed of a second class cadet, whom police have not yet identified, upon the instructions of Sanopao.
