THE PHILIPPINE SENATE in 28 days under Alan Peter Cayetano:
Estimated Cost - P700M. Output - chaos, gunfire, Bato’s escape despite ICC-issued warrant while under its “protective custody”, session boycott, failed destabilization attempt, unauthorized committee hearings highlighted by one not presided nor attended by a single senator.
WHAT A WASTE OF TAXPAYERS’ MONEY!
@ABSCBNNews@andietagz Eto na yon Ateneo? After a week?!? Ganyan ba ang prestigious university?!? "Ateneo de Manlulunod University" na nga raw school nyo!
READ: Over 163 Ateneo faculty members called on the Ateneo administration to be more transparent and accountable following the deaths of student-athletes Rene Clert Baterbonia and Divine Adili.
In the statement released today, June 11, the educators questioned whether University regulations and due process were followed in the “team-building activity,” and they also sought clarification on whether parents and guardians had been informed, and what safety measures were in place.
Moreover, they asked whether Head Coach Tab Baldwin and Team Manager Christopher Quimpo’s “leave” are equivalent to a preventive suspension, which they say is “standard operating procedure” in these cases.
The faculty also pressed the administration to explain how it intends to conduct a “independent and impartial investigation” and what measures will be implemented to prevent similar incidents in the future.
@ateneodemanilau My goodness! Diba dapat suspended?!?! Grabe talaga kayo Ateneo!! Tapos walang apology galing sa coach at coaching staff? So disappointing!!
@jesusfalcis Kadiri talaga mindset ng DDS! Gagawin pang political ang pagkamatay ng bata. Pati kung taga Mindanao, Manila or bisaya at tagalog! Jusko dami ngang nagsymphatize kahit taga saan pa or ano pang dialect! Nakapa-regionalistic nila, double standard. Gusto sila lagi ang bida!
BATERBONIA'S MOM TO ATENEO PLAYERS: 'MAYAMAN KAMI SA RESPETO'
Rovelyn Baterbonia, the mother of the late Ateneo Blue Eagles player Rene Clert Baterbonia, broke down in tears as she addressed her son's teammates during their visit to his wake.
She recalled how Rene once promised to bring home a UAAP MVP award—and, one day, even a PBA MVP trophy.
"Pag ako makarating sa UAAP, bibigyan talaga kita ng UAAP MVP o kung mapagbigyan na siya, PBA MVP. Kasi 'yan ang pangarap natin," Rovelyn said, recalling her son's words.
Rovelyn also reminded the players about the value of respect, a principle she said their family has always upheld.
"Mahirap kami pero malaki ang respeto. Mayaman man o mahirap, may yaman kami sa respeto. Kaya sana maintindihan niyo 'yung respeto na sinasabi ko," she said.
