'Pito Para sa Pilipino' TV Special Hosted by Richard Gutierrez and Romi Garduce to Air on GMA-7

It was a journey that took ten years to complete. And on January 5, 2012 at exactly 6:45 p.m. Antarctica time, Romi Garduce once again proved that the Filipino is indeed world-class by becoming the first Filipino to climb the seven highest mountains in all of the seven continents.

Conquering Vinson Massif in Antarctica has placed Garduce amongst an elite circle of climbing enthusiasts in the world - a first ever feat for a Filipino.

This March, GMA News and Public Affairs brings together two faces of the Kapuso environment advocacy for a special television event.

In the TV special Pito Para sa Pilipino, Richard Gutierrez meets his idol and fellow environmentalist and outdoorsman, Romi Garduce in a mountaineering adventure where the younger RG gains valuable insight from the seasoned climber.

Using seven select mementos from his seven successful summits, Romi reveals little known details about his journeys as a mountaineer. And as they exchange stories, Richard finds out about an "omen" in Romi's dream days before his Antarctica expedition.

Richard also discovers what life could be like at icy mountain camps, including some of Romi's strange "souvenirs" from Antarctica. At the close of their adventure, Romi finally reveals what is perhaps the most meaningful memento from his decade-long quest to create a world record for the Filipino.

Marvin Reglos a San Beda Law Student Killed in Hazing Laid to Rest

Update: Marvin Reglos, who succumbed to death due to multiple injuries allegedly caused by hazing of the Lambda Rho Beta fraternity, has been laid to rest in a public cemetery at Isabela province on Saturday, March 3, 2012.

Reglos' grieving relatives released 25 white balloons at the burial which represent his age had he lived to celebrate his birthday this year.

========

Marvin Reglos, a 25-year-old freshman law student from San Beda College, died from injuries sustained in an alleged hazing incident.

Reglos sustained severe bruises on several parts of his body as a result of his initiation rites in Lambda Rho Beta fraternity.

The victim was pronounced dead on arrival after his body was brought on Sunday night by two men on board a red Honda City with plate number WMF 174 at the Unciano Medical Center in Antipolo City.

Two suspects, alleged fraternity members Erick Edrosolano Castillo, 28; and Bodjie Amorin Yap, 24, were arrested on the same night Reglos was rushed to the hospital after they went back to the hospital, supposedly to check on the victim’s condition.

Police said the case is strong against the suspects after they found from their cellphones several text messages, supposedly from other fraternity members, warning not to speak out on the matter or reveal the identities of those behind the alleged hazing.

Yesterday, Reglos' father, Lucito, and sister, Lorvie, met with Justice Secretary Leila de Lima today to seek her help in the investigation into their kin's death and to request for a re-autopsy of Reglo's remains. De Lima has ordered the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI), an attached agency of the Department of Justice (DOJ), to conduct a parallel probe into Reglos' death.

Incidentally, De Lima co-founded an ally sorority of the Lambda Rho Beta, the Lambda Rho Sigma.

The San Beda College of Law, meanwhile, condemned the violent killing of Reglos saying it was an “unlawful and dreadful act of violence.”

“The San Beda College of law condemns the system of brotherhood that employs violence, intimidation, intentional force, or reckless imprudence as part of any of its ceremonies or practices. Consequently, the school does not recognize their existence,” the school said in a statement.

San Beda also said it will cooperate with the investigation of the National Bureau of Investigation and Philippine National Police.

The school’s administration, together with the Law Student Government, have also formed a committee to conduct the investigation of the administrative aspect.
