MANILA, Philippines – Some 44 cadets have been administratively charged for their alleged involvement in the 2018 graduation mauling in the Philippine National Police (PNP) Academy (PNPA), the country’s premier school for police, fire, and jail officers.

In a list obtained by Rappler, all but one belong to the PNPA Class of 2019. The exception, Cadet 3rd Class Ronwaldo Intapan Cariño, belongs to Class 2020. (READ: PNP Academy cadets ‘threatened’ by seniors to join 2018 mauling)

Asked for clarification, Philippine Public Safety College legal officer Jason Ison told Rappler in a phone interview that the cadets are not yet guilty, as  they will undergo “due process” before being punished or cleared.

Beating up upperclassmen is apparently a “tradition” at the PNPA but PNP chief Director General Ronald dela Rosa also believed it “should be stopped.”

Here are the names of the cadets and the corresponding charge against them by the PNPA administration:
