The founder of Tau Gamma Phi-Adamson University chapter stepped down from his post amid the death of 24-year-old chemical engineering student John Matthew Salilig due to hazing.&nbsp;
On Tuesday, Salilig's remains were discovered in a vacant lot in Imus, Cavite, a week after he was reported missing on February 18.&nbsp;
A witness earlier said that Salilig was beaten at least 70 times during the initiation rites of Tau Gamma Phi (Triskelion) fraternity in Bi&ntilde;an, Laguna.&nbsp;
In a Facebook post on Wednesday,&nbsp;Panglima Abdul Wahhab announced his resignation from the fraternity as a way to prove his sympathy to the Salilig family.&nbsp;
"Ito ay patunay at pagsimpatya ko sa pamilya Salilig, sa nagawa ng Adamson U Chapter officials at mga kasamahan nito sa karumaldumal na pag patay kay Triskelion Brother *John Matt Salilig ng Cabato Road Chapter, Zamboanga City Council," the post read.&nbsp; "Nakakahiya na tawagin pa ako bilang isa sa Founder ng Adamson U Chapter pagkatapos mangyari ang krimen na dinulot nito," he added. "Makamit nawa ang tamang HUSTISYA para kay Triskelion Brother John Matt Salilig!"'
