Warning: The video is brutal.
“A YouTube video clip that was apparently posted on November 1 showing acts of hazing of military recruits or what is also referred to in the service as ‘unit reception’ is going viral,” reports Jaime Sinapit on InterAksyon.com.
Lt. Col. Harold Cabunoc — chief of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) Public Affairs Office (PAO) — told Interaksyon.com: “I have already seen the video footage, but we have to investigate if the material is authentic or not. So, I will hold any comment for now because we have to first validate the material.”
The report noted: “Cabunoc added that if the authorities find out that the video is authentic and involves real government soldiers, it would be worth investigating because ‘hazing is strictly prohibited in military training.'”
