And the second time they flew to Manila was because they lost their son. The first trip was filled with pride and hope. The second was filled with unimaginable grief, bringing home the child they thought they would watch grow, not bury.
@yaracleofe I agree that some people have gone too far with fake narratives and clout chasing. But that doesn't give anyone the right to dictate how a mother should grieve. Those spreading lies and those attacking a mother who lost her son are no different. if anything, the latter is worse.
Kung tutuusin, mabait pa nga siya dahil 'yan lang ang nasabi niya despite facing the biggest nightmare a mother could ever experience. Tama lang naman na hindi dapat makatulog ang mga may kasalanan at ang mga hindi nagsasabi ng totoo.
@LoveGemini92 Diba? That's why I don't understand people who hate her and say ill words about her while she's suffering from the loss of a child. Hindi naman dapat na they have to experience what she went through just to understand how painful it is to lose someone you love the most.
Aaron is just like me when I lost my father. I was in denial for months, and so many people had to be patient with me and look out for me until I fully processed. I hope the people around him will treat him with kindness and be patient with him as he navigates his grief. ❤️
Grief is not always quiet, gentle, or convenient. Stop policing a grieving mother's words and start asking why this tragedy happened in the first place. Have some compassion. Have some humanity.
I hate Duterte, but I'd never tell a mother who lost her child how to grieve especially when that loss came from a preventable tragedy caused by negligence. A mother buried her son, and some of you are more bothered by her anger than by the fact that a young life was lost.
Well, mag agree man kayo o hindi, nahaluan na ng politics ang pagkamatay ni Rene. Sinamantala nila yung pagiging DDS ni mother dear.
Anyway, Bobet, wag mo rin patulugin LAHAT ng gumagamit sa name mo para sa sarili nilang interest.
May you rest in peace, KING EAGLE.
@JulienePearl3 They really took good care of Bobet. The Cayetano family and Coach Jess also took extra care of him when they offered him a scholarship just for him to become an Off Campus member & a Davao Eagle. Tapos nag-Manila lang, and after 4 days, they learned that their son had drowned.
May these young and talented boys succeed in life. Even as they face profound grief, they continue to show us the true meaning of brotherhood by always being there for one another during these difficult days. I hope Bobet knows just how much he means to the davraa boys.
No words could ease the pain today.
The tears of the DAVRAA Boys spoke louder than any tribute. The brotherhood they built on the court was more than basketball—it was family.
Rest easy, Bet. Your team will carry your legacy forever. 🤍
And people have the audacity to hate her. She's a mother who lost a son a mother who is seeking justice. Imagine letting your child move to Manila to follow his dreams, only for him to be brought back home dead just four days later. That was never the future they dreamed of.

KINILABUTAN AKO KASAMA PALA DUN YUNG JERSEY NA MAY PIRMA 😭
Maybe the reason why so many people are grieving and deeply affected by the loss of Rene is because he represents most ordinary young Filipinos who dare to dream big not just for themselves, but for their families as well.
He was someone who left home and went to another city without the privilege of strong financial support, carrying nothing but determination, confidence, and a heart full of dreams. He worked hard, stayed true to himself, and never forgot the people he loved.
Watching him play, listening to him talk, and seeing how he interacted with others made people feel like they knew him personally. He felt like a friend, a brother, a son, or someone you genuinely wanted to see succeed. His story was relatable, and in many ways, it reflected the struggles, hopes, and aspirations of countless Filipinos.
That is why his loss hurts so much. Not only for those who knew him personally, but also for those who saw themselves in him. I sincerely hope his family finds the strength to heal through this unimaginable pain, and that they receive the justice, truth, and peace they deserve. 🥺🙏🏽
i may not have known you personally, but the way your story moved so many people—including me—shows exactly how great person you were and the beautiful life you lived. dunk high in heaven, bobet!! 🥺🤍
only in the philippines can you see a grieving mother getting criticized for demanding justice for her son's sudden death.
aminin nyo sa lagay na to, sobrang bait pa ng pamilya ni Rene.
#justiceforRene
This isn't the reaction I expected from her mom, honestly. I expected more anger from a mother who just lost her son and, until now, still hasn't received the answers she deserves. Instead, she remained gracious and said, "Salamat pa rin sa ADMU sa pagtanggap sa anak ko."
As someone who has lost a lot of people in my life, this part was actually the most painful. After the funeral, when everyone starts going home and life slowly moves on, you're left with the reality that they're really gone. That's when the grief truly sinks in.
ang masakit nito, once na umuwi na ang pamilya ni rene, wala nang media, wala nang fans na nakikiramay, sila na lang together with the silence and realization na wala na talaga si rene:( sobrang bigat💔
