4 PMA cadets in hazing kicked out, doc axed

FORT DEL PILAR, Baguio City — Third Class Cadets Shalimar Imperial and Felix Lumbag, and Cadet 1st Class Axl Ray Sanupao were held as primary suspects in Dormitorio’s mauling, according to Bacarro.

Sanupao allegedly induced the two young cadets to hurt the plebe, he said, quoting the official investigation report.

Meanwhile, squad leader Cadet 2nd Class Nickoel Termil has also been separated from the academy for command responsibility.

Two 1st class cadets, on the other hand, were suspended for a year while a third 1st class cadet was liable for what PMA describes as a first-class offense.

PMA likewise relieved the commander of the PMA Station Hospital and Dr. Flor Apostol, the doctor who treated Dormitorio before he died.

Evangelista was due to retire in May next year. /lzb/kga
