The Department of Justice (DOJ) has received a request from the Philippine National Police (PNP) for the issuance of a lookout bulletin for all the unaccounted suspects involved in the brutal death due to hazing of the Adamson University engineering student, John Matthew Salilig.

According to PNP chief General Rodolfo Azurin Jr., their office already provided the suspects' names to the DOJ when the case was already filed against them.

At least 18 people are considered persons of interest in the hazing, while seven of them are already in custody and one of them allegedly committed suicide.

Salilig, 24, was reported missing in February 18. The last time he was seen alive was when he boarded a bus going to Laguna.

According to his family, they had no idea that he would be subjected to initiation rites by Tau Gamma Phi members.

His body was later found buried in a shallow grave in Imus, Cavite, with a witness stating that Salilig was hit at least 70 times during the Tau Gamma Phi initiation rites in Biñan, Laguna.
