In the aftermath of Castillo’s death, we were treated to the spectacle of the University of Sto. We read with disbelief the damning testimony of one of the fraternity members who turned state witness, recounting how they prayed before they proceeded to beat Castillo senseless and kill him. Clearly, too, the fraternity members’ elders failed them. All this is not to say that the fraternity members themselves were mere victims of their upbringing, because in the end, we are all ultimately responsible for our own actions. But in this tragic affair, there is more than enough blame to go around.
