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 wonโt 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. Thereโs anecdotes on record of precedent, thereโs a grieving mother asking for the most basic details amid official statements saying they are โworking closelyโ 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 staffโs favor and approval - as tickets to a better life.
Pay close attention to who says what, if anything at all. If youโre not enraged by the avoidable accident that took the lives of two young men, if your instinct is to protect an institutionโs reputation over condemning those responosible for two boys dying, if you would rather be silent because youโre worried about relationships or your place in the industry, then youโre part of the problem.
This was avoidable. This was negligent. Itโs only basketball, ffs. There are people responsible. Hold them accountable.
'NO AMOUNT OF WORDS. WHAT IS SORRY? SORRY IS NOT ENOUGH TO MAKE DIVINE COME BACK TO THIS WORLD AGAIN'
Tila gumuho ang mundo ng mga magulang ni Ateneo Blue Eagles basketball player Divine Adili nang malaman nilang nalunod ang kanilang anak sa team-building activity sa Aurora noong Lunes, June 8.
Binabagabag pa rin daw sila ng mga tanong tungkol sa tunay na nangyari kay Divine at para sa kanila, may kapabayaan sa trahedyang sinapit ng anak.
Hindi pa rin daw nila sa ngayon nakakausap si Blue Eagles head coach Tab Baldwin.
Sa social media post kagabi, humingi na ng paumanhin si Baldwin sa mga naulila nina Adili at Rene Baterbonia, apat na araw matapos ang trahedya.
Pero ang naging tugon ng nanay ni Divine, "No amount of words. What is sorry? Sorry is not enough to make Divine come back to this world again. No amount of apology. What has happened has happened."
Hinihintay pa ng mga magulang ni Divine ang resulta ng autopsy bago iproseso ang pag-uwi sa kaniya sa Nigeria.

โBUBUHAYIN NATIN SI BOBET SA PAMAMAGITAN NG PANGARAP NIYAโ
Ateneo de Davao University President Fr. Karel San Juan announced that the university will provide full scholarships, up to the college level, to the six siblings of Rene Baterbonia.
โYung pangarap na nagdala po sa Maynila, at iwan ang pamilya rito sa Davao. Ang pangarap niya, na ang kaniyang mga kapatid, anim na kapatid, ay bibigyan po ng Ateneo de Davao University po ng scholarship,โ Fr. San Juan said during the mass for the late student-athlete.

mingyu saying that if someone is feeling down, that feeling is also part of them, so instead of โtaking it from themโ by playing upbeat songs, he would recommend slower songs because it is OKAY to sit with your feelings that are heavier and if anything can be quite healthy!! :โ(
