The chat, which allegedly occurred on September 17-18 after Atio&#x27;s death, was read by Senator Joel Villanueva. It started with a certain lawyer member of the frat calling for a meeting.&quot;Brods, we need to meet ASAP. Calling on all die-hard Aegians. We all have important things to do but I couldn&#x27;t find anything more important than this,&quot; said certain Atty. Marvy Abo.There was a point in the conversation when someone suggested that Aegis Jvris create a &quot;crisis committee&quot; tasked to reach out to the Castillo family &quot;para di na mag-ingay.&quot;&quot;May kaya &#x27;yang family na &#x27;yan. Bukas makakakuha na sila ng search warrant sa frat [library]. Sana malinis na, matanggal na ang paddle doon,&quot; said one Atty. Alston Kevin Anarna.While Villanueva was reading the conversation, Carminia Castillo, Atio&#x27;s mom was seen crying.<figure class="op-interactive"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/76FFmgrvp-Y?enablejsapi=1" width="560"></iframe></figure>A certain Pareng Edong, meanwhile, suggested to his brods: &quot;For me, denial. Never ever give a hint.&quot;The members of the chat conversation were also aware that the parents of Castillo were already reaching out to frat members Axel Hipe and Ralph Trangia, with one saying &quot;flood na ng messages.&quot;Aegis Jvris president Alvin Balag was also part of the conversation. He said he was waiting for guidance from the elders.For his part, a certain Atty. Michael Vito kept reminding his brods of Aegis Jvris&#x27; motto, &quot;no injustice, suffer no injustice.&quot; But one fratman told him that suggestions, not reminders, are needed.A certain Ronald Cheng, who is working at the Supreme Court Clerk of Court&#x27;s 2nd division, was also part of the conversation, saying, &quot;nakita ko na &#x27;yung CCTV ng barangay... Di covered ang frat lib ng CCTV.&quot;MPD Director Chief Superintendent Joel Coronel said their anti-cybercrime group may be able to finish authenticating the chat conversation before the next hearing.
