I'm sorry, i hate to admit this, but Ateneo just lost its moral ascendancy to speak about injustice and accountability.
That recent statement was just hand-washing, gaslighting, and too much pride.
Sobrang nakaka-disappoint.
depriving the bereaved family of information from people who were at the scene is that part of due process? they barely know what truly happened and yet itโs them who had to face the media have some shame
what a privilege for coach tab to have all the time he needs to grieve. while rene's family is left mourning with no closure, still desperately seeking answers. they deserve transparency and urgency
cura personalis where?
This can't be the same Ateneo that taught me to be a person for others and to hold myself accountable for my choices. Because what the actual fuck are they doing?
I hate how Ateneo, their admin and the coaching staff are afforded the privilege of privacy for the sake of their mental health. Meanwhile the families of the bereaved are left in the dark and left to โfendโ for themselves in front of the press and public.
Literal na karton ang ceiling ng bahay nila Rene Baterbonia ๐ญ
Nakikipagsapalaran sa Manila para maiahon ang pamilya sa kahirapan tapos isang iglap lang biglang nawala ๐๏ธ

Every few years, Ateneo produces a think piece about inequality in the Philippines. About the gap between the elite and the masa. About how institutions must serve the marginalized.
Rene Baterbonia was from Agusan del Sur. He was recruited because he was 6'4", won the Palaro MVP, and could help Ateneo win a UAAP title. He was the masa. He was the kind of kid those think pieces are supposedly written for.
He is now dead after drowning during an Ateneo-organized activity.
And the institution's response has been to ask for "privacy and space."
The gap between what Ateneo preaches and what Ateneo practices has never been more visible. Or more damning.
a year ago today, seunghanโs solo debut was announced. he held his first live on instagram, introduced his new stage name, his own artist brand, along with first-ever member of xoul.
โhello, iโm seunghan.
first of all, i saw the article that came out today.
iโd been talking with the staff about when would be a good time to greet everyone through a live and we were waiting for the right timing. when i saw the article come out today, i felt like todayโs the right moment so i decided to come and greet you all like this.
the first thing i want to say is ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐.
itโs been really a long time since iโve let you hear my voice. iโve been working hard on my own, preparing and taking lessons.โ
โwhile preparing for the album i found myself thinking a lot about how could i style or change my stage name. i thought and worried about it a lot and discussed it with many people, then i realized i wanted something simple but also eye-catching and cool at first glance. so i kept thinking โwhat should i do?โ
my name in english is writren as S-E-U-N-G-H-A-N right? but i thought if i change the S to X it might stand out more and give off a fresh and new feeling.
and another thing i wanted to share is i now have friends who will be joining me, yul and kyohong. i will be working together with them.
while thinking of them, i thought it would be nice if we have a name that will give us team-like feeling and kept wondering โwhat should it be?โ and after thinking it over, something came to my mind. i wanted to include the word โsoulโ. the word itself has meanings like sharing emotions, connecting deeply and feeling each otherโs soul. with that in mind, i changed the S in โsoulโ to X so that it has something in common with my name, and that's how we came up with the name XngHan&Xoul.โ
You know what's worse? Bench will plaster Kim Soohyun's face again all over the Philippines. In their stores, billboard ads, social media and might hold a fanmeeting where he can cry again.
