then Mayor Jose Mariano, Gov. Alejo Santos and
Congressman Rogaciano Mercado, the Plaridel
Community Agricultural High School was
established in Bintog, Plaridel, Bulacan with
Miguel T. Ongleo as its first Principal. Due to lack
of space and political reasons, PCAHS was
transferred to the site of the defunct Rural Progress

Bulacan Provincial Agricultural High School.

ANNEX A
PRIMER ON THE ANTI-HAZING LAW

(Republic Act No. 8049)
in the academic setting
by
State Prosecutor Philip A. Aguinaldo
I. What is the concept of hazing?

As used in the law, hazing and initiation
are interchangeably used. From the title “An Act
Regulating Hazing and Other Forms of Initiation
Right in Fraternities, Sororities and Organizations
- 67 -
Student Handbook
Providing Penalties Therefore”, hazing is allowed

if it is regulated.
The following are the elements in the

violation of the law:
1. The act is a prerequisite for admission into

membership in a fraternity, sorority or
organization; hence, if the victim is already a
member, there is no violation of the anti-hazing
law but the illegal act is punishable by the
Revised Penal Code.
2. The recruit, neophyte or applicant is placed in
either of the following situations;
a. embarrassing situation:
b. humiliating situation;
c. is subjected to physical suffering or
injury; or
d. is subjected to psychological suffering
or injury.
If the purpose is simply to embarrass, humiliate
or subject the victim to physical or psychological
suffering not as a condition for admission into the
group, there is no violation an of the anti-hazing
law but of the provisions of the Revised Penal
Code, like but not limited to. unrest vexation,
physical injuries, coercion, threats. etc.
II. What are humiliating/embarrassing

situations?
Examples are forcing the neophyte to do
menial, silly or foolish acts and similar the
tasks or activities. The law specifically
mentions placing the neophyte in a humiliating
or embarrassing situation which mean is that
the situation is the determining factor in the
violation, and not the circumstance of whether
he is humiliated or not.
III. Is there an exception to the application of
the anti-hazing law?
- 68 -
Student Handbook
The physical, mental and psychological

testing and training procedure and practices to
determine and enhance the physical, mental
and psychological fitness of prospective
regular members of the Armed Forces and the
police as properly recommended and approved
by the Secretary of National Defense. The
cadet corps of Citizens Military Training are
not included in the exception because they are
not prospective regular members of the
military.
IV. When is hazing or initiation allowed?
The following must be present:
1. The organization must secure a written
notice to the school authorities seven (7)
days before the conduct of the initiation:
2. The period of the initiation shall not
exceed three (3) days:
3. The names and ages of those to be initiated
must be included:
4. An undertaking that no physical violence
must be employed by anybody during the
initiation rites;
5. The head of the school or his representatives
must assign at least two (2) representatives
of the school to be present in the initiation
with the duty to see to it that no physical
harm of any kind shall be inflicted;
6. The place where the initiation is conducted.
V. Who are liable in case of physical injuries or

death?
1. Those who actually participated.
The officers and members who actually
participated in the infliction of physical harm
shall be liable as principals. They shall suffer a
penalty ranging from reclusion perpetual (from
20 years and 1 day to 40 years imprisonment)
if death. sodomy, rape or mutilation results
there from, to prison correctional in its
- 69 -
Student Handbook
maximum (from 4 years, 2 months and 1 day

to 6 years imprisonment) even if the injuries do
not prevent the victim from engaging in his
habitual activity or work nor require medical
attendance.
2. The owner of the place where hazing was

conducted.
a. He is liable as an accomplice (if he is not a
parent of any officer or member of the
fraternity); or
b. He is liable as principal (if he is a parent of
any officer or member of the fraternity);
but in both cases he has actual knowledge
thereof but failed to take any action to
prevent the illegal act from occurring.
3. The school authorities.

a. If they consent to the hazing, or
b. If they have actual knowledge thereof but

failed to take any action to prevent the
same from occurring.
In both cases. they are liable as
accomplices.
4. The adviser.
If he is present when the acts constituting
hazing were committed and failed to take any
action to prevent the same from occurring, he
is liable as principal.
If lie is no present but consents to the
hazing. lie is liable as accomplice.
If he is not present but has actual
knowledge of the hazing but failed to take any
action to prevent the same, he is liable as
accomplice.
5. Officers of the fraternity even if they are absent
during the hazing as long as they actually
planned. it shall be liable as principals.
- 70 -
Student Handbook
6. Outsiders, like former officers or alumni, even

if they are absent during the hazing as bug as
they actually planned it. shall be liable as
principals.
7. The officers or members who knowingly
cooperated in carrying out the hazing by
inducing the victim to be present thereat, shall
be liable as principals. Examples are time
recruiters.
8. Anybody who is present during (lie hazing
shall be liable as principal. The law says that
mere presence is a prima facie evidence of
participation in the hazing as principal unless
lie shows that lie prevented the commission of
the illegal acts. This means that he has the
burden of proving that he is innocent of the
crime charged.
VI. Is there a need of a finding of guilt by the

courts before school officials can impose the
penalty provided in the student handbooks
against their erring students?
No. The proceedings iii school disciplinary
boards are only administrative’. It is enough
that the penalty is based on substantial
evidence (not an evidence beyond reasonable
doubt as required in criminal cases.)
VII. When can the maximum penalty be

imposed?
1. When the recruitment is accompanied by

force. Violence, threats or intimidation
or deceit on the person who refuses to
join:
2. When the recruit initially consents to
join but is prevented from quitting upon
learning that hazing will be committed:
3. When the recruit who has undergone
hazing is prevented from reporting the
- 71 -
Student Handbook
unlawful acts to his parents or guardians

or the proper authorities, through force,
violence. threats or intimidation;
4. When the hazing is committed outside
the school;
5. When the victim is below 12 years old.
VIII. Who is accomplice?
He is one who merely cooperates in the

commission of illegal acts by previous or
simultaneous acts. He does not have a previous
agreement in the commission of the crime with the
principal (the violator), or am, understanding in the
commission of the illegal act with the principal or
is not in conspiracy with the principal His penalty
is one degree lower than that provided for the
principal.
IX. Who is principal?
Those who take part ii, the execution of the illegal

act, those who directly force or induce others to
commit the illegal act, or those who cooperate in
the commission of the illegal act by another
without which it would not have been
accomplished.
X. Observation:
The Anti-Hazing Law does not provide

penalties in the following situations: when the
victim suffers psychologically, or when he is
placed in a humiliating or embarrassing situation.
Only when there are physical injuries or death that
the violator is penalized. it is suggested that your
Student Handbook shall be reviewed to provide the
necessary penalties cover these lapses in the law,
- 72 -
Student Handbook
To understand fully time implication of the

Anti-Hazing Law, a comparison between the
penalties and time designation of the crime under
the Revised Penal Code and the Anti-Hazing Law
is necessary.
Under the Revised Penal Code, when

unintentional death results from hazing, time act is
only an imprudence amid the penalty is only prison
correctional in its medium period or an
imprisonment of from 2 years, 4 months and I day
to 4 years and 2 months. In time. Anti-Hazing Law,
which was approved on June 7, 1995, the penalty
is reclusion perpetua.
