MANILA, Philippines — Major General Bartolome Bacarro is not yet off the hook in the 2019 hazing death of a cadet in the Philippine Military Academy (PMA), Deputy Speaker, and Cagayan de Oro Rep. Rufus Rodriguez said Friday.
Rodriguez made the remark in response to Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana who said Bacarro has already been cleared in the fatal hazing case of PMA cadet Darwin Dormitorio.
Rodriguez, who earlier called for the recall of the appointment of Bacarro as Southern Luzon Command (SolCom) chief, said a review of the PMA case is still pending before the Department of Justice (DOJ).
