Loss of life (young life at that) brought about by avoidable circumstances that the victims were exposed to by authority figures that were supposed to care and nurture them - is a tragedy that requires accountability. No it won’t bring back Divine and Rene, but we cannot allow people in power to be protected when their authority and status were wielded to put young men in precarious situations that took their lives. There’s anecdotes on record of precedent, there’s a grieving mother asking for the most basic details amid official statements saying they are ‘working closely’ with the families.
Investigate this to the fullest. Basketball is by no means more important than protecting our young people, most especially those who come from backgrounds that force them and their families to look at a roster spot, game minutes, a coaching staff’s favor and approval - as tickets to a better life.
Pay close attention to who says what, if anything at all. If you’re not enraged by the avoidable accident that took the lives of two young men, if your instinct is to protect an institution’s reputation over condemning those responosible for two boys dying, if you would rather be silent because you’re worried about relationships or your place in the industry, then you’re part of the problem.
This was avoidable. This was negligent. It’s only basketball, ffs. There are people responsible. Hold them accountable.
As of writing, UST’s next game is scheduled for June 16 against the Ateneo Blue Eagles, more than a week after the deaths of foreign student-athlete Divine Adili and incoming recruit Rene Baterbonia, who drowned during a “team-building” activity.

‘BAKIT GANOON ANG NANGYARI SA ANAK KO?’
WATCH: Rovelyn, the mother of Ateneo Men’s Basketball Team player Rene Baterbonia, expressed deep grief over the death of her son following what was described as a team “training” activity.
She says she is left with many unanswered questions, why her son met such a fate, why he was allegedly not rescued in time, and why weights were reportedly attached to his arms and feet while swimming. She is now calling for justice and a full investigation into the incident.

@QuitoNitura Wag kang mag bulag-bulagan, Quito. Mukha ka namang edukado and with strong good values. The prev interviews of the former BEBOB now makes a lot of sense.

@chxxju@ThomasianM Oh, hi! Is this your other account? :) Anyway, while I agree that no one should take advantage of the situation in all forms, I personally just won’t wish anyone bad faith in all forms too. Pero totoo naman, kanya-kanya yan. Sana lang you don’t use the UST fan support acct :)
