Bakit madami pa din gulat?
If hindi man i-suspend ng UAAP ang Ateneo this S89, magkusang loob na ang Ateneo na huwag munang mag-participate.
Why?
Hindi niyo mapipigilan ang mga tao na i-boo lahat ng student-athletes ng Ateneo. Sila lang din kawawa.
The saddest thing about this Ateneo debacle is how it reminds us that corruption is embedded in Philippine culture—even in the country’s top university supposedly known for morality and principles.
Father figure Coach Tab Baldwin had prostitutes at home - his minor aged step son often playing in the next room. one blackmailed Tab and sent this to the step son.
Tabs pal @epokquimps arranged police and covered it up and MANY MORE. where are the police records from 2019?
The defense team of Sara Duterte submitted their pre-trial brief to Win Gatchalian’s Senate Secretary
Si Alan Peter Cayetano na lang ang naniniwala na Senate President pa rin siya
Lol
I don’t always agree with him, but I think @jesusfalcis will be missed by many of us in the legal profession as he serves his suspension.
I know him as a fierce advocate, and I hope he will continue with his political advocacies. I look forward to the day that he is allowed to practice again because he also does a lot of good as a public interest lawyer.
WILL ATENEO STILL PLAY IN THE UPCOMING UAAP SEASON 89?
Ateneo president Fr. Roberto Yap, SJ, answers that there’s no decision yet, although they are studying it while waiting for the UAAP decision.

Statement
I accept the wisdom of the Supreme Court to suspend me for one year. All lawyers are under the disciplinary power of the Court and I am no exception.
Back in 2018 to 2019, I was fighting for the life and liberty of my brother. And my family’s safety and reputation.
I felt helpless and powerless except for my small voice on social media. We were nobodies and I was screaming against the void.
If being suspended is the price I have to pay for defending my family, then it is a price I will pay in any lifetime.
I recognize that words, contained in a tweet, have power and my choice of words should have consequences. All lawyers should be held accountable for their words and actions.
That is why I prostrate myself to the Supreme Court for disciplining me and in the same vein, I beg the Honorable Court to resolve the pending disbarment cases of former President Rodrigo Duterte and Vice President Sara Duterte, to show that indeed, no one is above the law.
And to our dear Senator-Judges, if a lawyer like me can be suspended for cursing, then a Vice President like Sara Duterte should likewise be answerable not just for cursing but for threatening the life of the President and the First Lady.
Accountability should apply to all, big or small.
#Accountability
what a PR disaster this has been for Ateneo, through their own fault.
You can no longer say Coach Tab's name without the incident.
You can no longer talk about BEBOB without the incident.
Hell, you can no longer talk about Ateneo themselves without bringing up this incident.
⚠️trigger warning: sensitive content
A November 2019 recording involving Team Manager Epok Quimpo has resurfaced online, referencing allegations about 🦅Ateneo coach Tab Baldwin.
🎙️: “But they know that, uh, aren’t they scared were to become public? Epok, he was hitting students though.”
🎙️: “I know, and I warned him. I told him to stop. I think it’s sickness.”

Looks like for the first time since 2️⃣0️⃣1️⃣6️⃣, somebody who isn't Tab Baldwin will call the shots in Ateneo. #UAAPSeason89
