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.
The
ROTC program may soon be required for grades 11 and 12 students, as President
Rodrigo Duterte certified as urgent Senate Bill No. 2232.
Under
the proposed measure, those physically or psychologically unfit or are part of
the school's varsity team are exempted from mandatory ROTC training.
Meanwhile,
Sedenio was qualified for some benefits from the Army’s AFP such as burial and
military honor after he graduated from ROTC Basic Training Course with a serial
number of Private Officer, Col. Rony Villaneva, 9RCDG Commander also said
during DXYN Meuws FM Radio Pagadian City “KAKAMPI SA KATILINBAN program aired every
