Senate Minority Leader Aquilino "Koko" Pimentel III on Friday supported the calls to junk the bill making Reserve Officers' Training Corps mandatory following the death of alleged hazing victim John Matthew Salilig.
Dela Rosa, who presided over the hearings on the mandatory ROTC bills, tagged the call as a "desperate move" by groups who are against the program. "The death of John Salilig that was caused by hazing was perpetuated by individuals who have absolutely no respect for the rule of law. The goal of ROTC, on the other hand, is to inculcate discipline and good citizenship among the youth," Gatchalian said.
"The fate of Salilig should also prompt our national leaders to drop altogether the plans to revive the ROTC, which is intrinsically militaristic, macho-fascist, violent and rotten to the core," said ACT.
