š”ššŖš¦ I Promoting awareness, accountability, and a culture of respect, Southwestern College of Maritime Business and Technology Inc. successfully spearheaded an Anti-Hazing Symposium aimed at educating students about the serious repercussions of hazing, February 13.
The discussion highlighted not only the legal consequences of such acts but also the profound emotional and physical toll they inflict on victims. The symposium underscored the responsibility of every individual to take a stand against all forms of violence and abuse.
The event featured key speakers PCPT Mary Joy D. Mangili, PCpl Darius H. Archedera, and PMSg Marjorie S. Pablo, who emphasized that hazing must not be justified as a tradition. Instead, it should be recognized for what it truly is, which is a violation of human dignity and the law. Their powerful insights serve as a lasting reminder to the academic community that genuine leadership is rooted in integrity, respect, and accountability.
