Another cadet of the Philippine Military Academy (PMA) was rushed to the hospital on Monday, Armed Forces spokesman Marine Brigadier General Edgard Arevalo confirmed on Tuesday.

Arevalo, however, refused to identify the cadet, who also bore signs of maltreatment.

Arevalo said the cadet was brought to V. Luna Hospital in Quezon City.

An investigation into the matter is ongoing.

Last Wednesday, cadet Darwin Dormitorio was found unconscious in his room and rushed to the hospital, where he was declared dead on arrival. 

The PMA later said that he died of injuries from hazing. 

Earlier on Tuesday, Lieutenant General Ronnie Evangelista resigned as PMA superintendent. Brigadier General Bartolome Bacarro, the commandant of cadets, also resigned.

The PMA has already identified several cadets and officers involved in Dormitorio's hazing. — BM/JST, GMA News
