PAGADIAN CITY (June 28, 2019) - A student dies after suffering from cardiac arrest while attending a Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) training conducted by the 9th Regional Community Defense Group (9RCDG) in Paagadian City. His family received benefits from the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), a military official disclosed.

The 21-year-old cadet, identified as Roel Sedenio, is a 2nd class ROTC cadet who was rushed to the hospital last Saturday after passing out during a morning physical fitness routine that was part of a one-month advanced training in Barangay Dao, Pagadian City.

Doctors at the Zamboanga del Sur Medical Center said the cadet suffered from hyperventilation. They discharged Sedenio, saying he only needed some rest.

While Sedenio was resting at the military barracks in the  compound of the Army 9RCDG, his co-trainees observed he was having seizures. Sedenio was brought back to the Zamboanga del Sur Medical Center where he was pronounced dead a few hours later.

Doctors said Sedenio died of cardiac dysrhythmia or abnormal heartbeat secondary to sepsis and pulmonary congestion.

Major Alberto Ramirez, director of the 903rd Community Defense Center, said Sedenio had fever prior to the incident and was advised to skip the activities the next morning, only to surface during the exercise. He said a thorough investigation is underway.

Sedenio's mother, Julita, told reporters she could not believe her son's death, noting that he seemed fit and healthy.

Sedenio, a third-year information technology student of Josefina H. Cerilles State College, was among the 272 aspiring cadet officers who voluntarily participated in the training.
