San Beda student died from 'severe beating': report
Police said Marcos sustained severe bruises on his arms and legs as well as a slight wound on his head.
His uncle, Atty. Jose Vener Ibarra, earlier said his nephew was beaten black and blue.
"Let's just say yung arms at legs niya kulay ube. Yan ang sinasabi ko sa gumawa sa kaniya - kulay ube," he said.
He added: "No one has to suffer this from people that they will call brothers. Wala. Walang dapat mamatay nang ganun. Kung sino man kayo hahanapin namin kayo. I pray that the criminal justice system will get you first."
San Beda law student government president Aubin Arn Nieva said the school administration has already implemented several rules and regulations so that fraternities will disband. "But then again, we seem to have underestimated these fraternities," he said.
Social networking sites were abuzz over Marcos' death, which comes just 5 months after another San Beda law freshman, Marvin Reglos, died during alleged initiation rites of the Lambda Rho Beta fraternity.
An NBI official earlier said Reglos died of kidney failure after a severe beating caused his skeletal muscle to secrete myoglobin or muscle protein, which affects the kidneys.
Police said they are investigating three school fraternities as having a hand in the latest hazing death in San Beda. The 3 are Lambda Rho Beta, Lex Talionis and Lex Leonum.
Fresh graduate
Relatives said Marcos wanted to become a lawyer because his grandfather, Martonino Marcos, was a judge. Other relatives were also lawyers.
Marcos graduated from the University of Santo Tomas earlier this year with a degree in Bachelor of Arts Legal Management. He then transferred to San Beda to pursue his dream of becoming a lawyer.
Last Saturday, Marcos told his family that he had to work on a school project. Marcos failed to come home and his cell phone could not be contacted.
On Sunday, Marcos was rushed to the De La Salle University Medical Center in Dasmarinas, Cavite.
Doctors said Marcos had no vital signs and was comatose after being admitted. He later died in the hospital at 3:30 p.m. Monday.
3 men brought Marcos to hospital
Police, meanwhile, questioned a woman who brought the alleged hazing victim to the hospital.
Soledad Sanda of Sitio Visaya Amuntay Road, Barangay Zone 3, Dasmarinas, Cavite told police that she accompanied 3 men to the hospital Sunday night upon the request of a relative, Marlyn Guadayo.
Sanda said she was surprised that the 3 left quickly after Marcos was admitted to the hospital.
Both Sanda and Guadayo have not come home since Marcos' death.
Police said they are investigating whether the initiation rites that led to Marcos' death were conducted in the farm where Guadayo worked. They said the son of the farm's owner is also studying in San Beda-Alabang.
