Philippine Military Academy (PMA) cadet Darwin Dormitorio, who died of hazing in 2019, finally attained a semblance of justice.

The court found Shalimar Imperial Jr, and Felix Lumbag Jr. guilty of Dormitorio’s murder, while Julius Carlo Tadena was found guilty of violating the anti-hazing law. In this episode, Rappler justice and crime reporter Jairo Bolledo speaks with Dormitorio’s brother, Dexter, to discuss what the verdict means for their family. The conversation also touches on the Dormitorio family’s legal battle, as well as their fight against the culture of hazing. https://www.rappler.com/newsbreak/podcasts-videos/kriminal-episode-darwin-dormitorio-case-conviction/
