MANILA, Philippines – Scavengers sifting through a pile of garbage Wednesday found the body of a 17-year-old student floating in the waters of Manila bay where supposed members of the
Tau Gamma Phi fraternity threw him after he succumbed to injuries during the fraternity’s initiation rites.
Police authorities had a difficult time taking the body of Noel Borja, Jr., out of a plastic push cart where he was placed after he was cemented and sealed in a container.
Police theorized that Borja of No. 207, Area Bm Gate 50, Parola compound, Binondo, Manila had been sealed for three days before he was found.
The victim’s friend who survived the hazing said they were recruited by the
Tau Gamma Phi fraternity members last Sunday, October 24. A certain “RC” reportedly led the initiation rites inside the undisclosed residence of a certain “Neil.”
“Ginamitan ho kami ng paddle at pinatakan ng kandila ang aming katawan” Joshoua told reporters, showing his leg injuries.
Joshua said after the hazing the victim suddenly lost his consciousness. “Sinubukan nilang i-revive at i-pump ang dibdib nito subalit walang nagyari,” the neophyte added.
Joshua even disclosed that he saw the fraternity members tied the victim as others took cement and sand and started mixing it.
The witness added that he also fell asleep due to exhaustion and extreme pain. When he woke up the victim was nowhere to be found.
