Marikina prohibits recruitment of minors for fraternities.

MANILA, Philippines- --The Marikina City government had passed an ordinance prohibiting the recruitment of minors for fraternities or sororities saying it might adversely affect school activities and put students in danger.

Based on the resolution authored by Vice Mayor Marion Andres and councilor Wilfred Reyes, those caught enlisting students below 18 years of age to be members of their group would be penalized.

Marikina City Ordinance No. 59, series of 2008, states that violators would be sentenced to six months in jail and meted a fine of P5,000.

"The measure is meant to protect the child's rights and welfare,'' Andres said.

The prohibition, the vice-mayor said, would also serve as a deterrent to those planning to recruit minors for fraternities.

According to city police chief Senior Supt. Sotero Ramos, the new law could help law enforcers keep peace and order in the city, particularly on school premises.

The ordinance, Ramos added, also helps alleviate parents' fears of their children being exposed to criminal activities.

Ramos said that aside from the PNP, the City's Public Safety Office and Security and local barangay (village) officials have been deputized to enforce the ordinance.

Dapat Out of School youths di sad pwede. Against kaayo ko anang mga Out of School youths pa-apilon ug fraternity.

A Fraternity is a society for excellence, NOT a Charitable Foundation.

Kanang Frat na modawat ug OSY's, gipang gamit ra intawn ning mga unfortunate para bodyguard ug front sa rumble. Para nako, tinalawan na nga style.

Community-based? It will only create a territorial gangster-mentality.

Educated community-based? Join school chapters.

Places where no colleges or universities present? You have no business to join a fraternity.

If gusto gyud ning mga frat motabang sa mga pobre, di na kinahanglan himuon ug "brod". Taga-an na lang ug mga livelihood ug educational programs. Pero unsaon ta man, mura na man ug kulto ning frat usahay gud. Unya uban mga leader gusto na mag hawod2x, imbis para mo serbisyo sa katilingban.

Yap. You are correct!!! That's why some of Metro Manila Mayors are envy of Bayani, especially Mayor Binay of Makati, who was also a former MMDA chairman and do nothing put politicking during his term.
