A man flying to the Philippines for vacation managed to sleep through the 12-hour flight by showing his meal preference on his phone ahead of time, so the crew wouldn’t have to wake him up.
Why does it hurt so much for Filipinos when Rene Baterbonia passed away?
Maybe because many of us saw ourselves in him.He was driven, hardworking, and full of dreams. A son who loved his family deeply and wanted nothing more than to give them a better life.
His story was not just about basketball. It was about hope, sacrifice, perseverance, and the courage to keep chasing a dream despite life's challenges.
We see ourselves in that journey.
We all have dreams we're still building, goals we're still chasing, and loved ones we're working hard for.
That's why this loss feels different.
It hurts because we saw a part of ourselves in him.
Not just a promising athlete, but a young Filipino carrying the same hopes, struggles, and dreams that so many of us carry every day.
And when his journey ended too soon, it reminded us of how precious life is and how deeply we value the dreams we hold close to our hearts.
More than the pain, ramdam mo ang disappointment at galit ng ADDU sa ADMU.
Ateneo de Davao University is calling out the admins of Ateneo de Manila University.
Napakasakit sa kanila nito. Grabe. You have no mercy, @ateneodemanilau.
Suspend ATENEO in the UAAP!

Dear Lord, may Divine’s purpose for leaving his family young be fulfilled.
Though his life was cut short, may he continue to live on with a lasting legacy.
May his family, friends, and all those who love him be granted comfort as his soul is filled with peace.
Justice be given
I have so many questions
1. Why is Ateneo limiting his “apology” to 4 minutes only?
2. “We thought it is shallow water” pero diba may kamuntik na malunod sa training na yan as per former players? So alam mong delikado ang training sa open water …
3. Bakit ka parte pa rin ng pag-usad ng team na yan moving forward? Bakit hindi ka pa tinanggal ng Ateneo asap?
4. Bakit puro lang flowering words? Nasaan ang transparency on what really happened on that day? Accountability and assurance na mananagot ka sa mga nangyare?
Face the consequences of all of your stupidity and negligence. You just cut short the life of two aspiring and breadwinner athletes!!
- hindi ininform nang maayos yung pamilya sa pagkamatay ni rene
- hindi sinagot ang plane ticket para makalipad pa-manila
- hindi binigyan ng disenteng damit na isusuot sa burol
grabe hindi na makatao yang ginagawa niyo ateneo. ang sasahol nyo
I don't think sapat yung lifetime scholarship lang sa mga kapatid/kamag-anak ng mga namatay sa kapabayaan ng Ateneo. I think the institution should also shoulder their life's basic necessities. I don't think people understand how financially difficult it is to lose a breadwinner.
