MANILA, Philippines — The Commission on Higher Education (CHEd) on Tuesday said it has issued a show cause order (SCO) against Ateneo de Manila University for failing to submit documents requested as part of its investigation into the deaths of two of its student-athletes in Aurora province.

In a statement, CHEd said it had directed Ateneo as early as June 9 to submit documents needed to establish the facts and assess compliance with relevant regulations following the drowning of two student-athletes during a school-sanctioned team-building activity in Dipaculao, Aurora.

These requested documents included an incident report, a certificate of compliance with CHEd Memorandum Order (CMO) No. 63 (s. 2017), as well as documents required under Article V of CMO No. 6 (s. 2026)
