           Before the burial, a Mass was held and attended by Castillo's family and friends at the Santuario de San Antonio Parish         .  

Castillo, 22, a freshman law student at the University of Santo Tomas, died after attending the "welcoming rites" of the Aegis Juris fraternity on September 17.

The victim's family learned about the incident when his mother, Carminia Castillo, received an anonymous text message saying that her son had been brought to the Chinese General Hospital.

The Senate on Monday started the hearing on Castillo's death where senators grilled principal suspect John Paul Solano for information regarding Aegis Juris members who were present during the hazing rites.

Solano and 17 other individuals are facing murder, perjury, obstruction of justice, robbery and violation of the Anti-Hazing Law over Castillo's death. —Anna Felicia Bajo/KBK, GMA News
