OFFICIAL STATEMENT
Triskelion Participatory Governance
March 2026
Triskelion Participatory Governance expresses its deepest condolences to the family and loved ones of the young life that was tragically lost. We mourn with the community and stand in solidarity with all who grieve this heartbreaking incident. The loss of life is never acceptable, and no organization that upholds the meaning of brotherhood should allow violence to take place within its ranks.
We strongly condemn any act of hazing or violence that violates the dignity and safety of individuals. Such actions contradict the core values of true brotherhood—values founded on respect, protection, mentorship, and upliftment.
As members who believe in responsible leadership and participatory governance, we affirm our full support for the Anti-Hazing Act (Republic Act 11053) and all laws that protect life and human dignity. No initiation, tradition, or ritual should ever be valued above a human life.
Triskelion Participatory Governance believes that authentic brotherhood is guided by the principles established by our founders and sustained by adherence to our constitution, codes of conduct, and the rule of law. Acts of violence represent a deviation from these principles and cannot be accepted as part of our culture.
We call for a fair, swift, and transparent investigation so that justice may be served. At the same time, we urge every Triskelion to return to the true meaning of brotherhood—one that builds character, protects life, and promotes unity within our communities.
True brothers protect one another, guide one another, and stand together in righteousness.
As it is written in Scripture:
“Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves.” — Romans 12:10
Let this moment remind us that leadership carries responsibility, and brotherhood carries accountability.
PRIMUM NIL NOCERE — First of all, do no harm.

Let this be clear that Tau Gamma Phi Global condemns HAZING.
Those allegedly involved in the recent incident are linked to the so-called NEC, a renegade group claiming leadership of Tau Gamma Phi in the Philippines but clearly unable to control its own members and their actions.
Meanwhile, Tau Gamma Phi Global continues to uphold and comply with the Anti-Hazing Law (RA 11053). The LAW is the LAW. True leadership does not hide behind “tradition”. It stands for accountability, discipline, and respect for life.
And let it also be said, real leaders stand by their words. They sign their official statements, they put their names and addresses on them, and they take responsibility for what they declare before the public.
This position is not just spoken. It is signed by the legitimate leaders of Tau Gamma Phi Global and affirmed by the Founding Fathers themselves.
If brotherhood truly means anything, the path is clear. Follow the law. Protect lives. Hold violators accountable.
Because in the end, titles do not define leadership courage, accountability, and the willingness to stand by one’s word do.
Kindly disseminate to all concerned.
