The Senate committee on women, children, family relations and gender equality will investigate the fatal shooting in Tacloban City, Leyte on July 1, Senator Risa Hontiveros announced on Tuesday. The probe is set to reopen a hearing following the incident at San Jose National High School, where two minors reportedly opened fire inside the school premises. Authorities said the attack results in three student deaths and at least 20 others wounded. Hontiveros said the July 1 hearing will focus on whether online platforms contribute to the spread of violent ideas and whether such platforms become spaces where groups may “brainwash and radicalize children.” The announcement comes a day after the shooting, as details continue to be gathered and officials prepare for the Senate’s review. The Senate panel’s role is to assess possible factors related to the incident, including potential online influences, in addition to other circumstances that may be examined during the investigation.
