Sir France, i remember palagi pa tayo nag aaway before sa viber dahil sa Jaron, til we became friends. Even if we dont talk anymore, lagi mo parin ako binabati before. Hope you are now with the lord. May you rest in peace. @PrincessFrance
“He left this airport a days ago carrying nothing but hope, courage, and dreams for a brighter future.
Today, he returns in a casket, and the pain is beyond words. A journey that was meant to build a better life ended far too soon.”

"Back in 2019, I never imagined I’d make it this far."
This was the caption Rene Baterbonia wrote in his Facebook post before going to Manila as a basketball player for Ateneo. This was posted several days before Baterbonia dies from drowning during a team activity in Dipaculao, Aurora last Monday.
A wake and public viewing for Baterbonia is being held at the Ateneo de Davao University, his high school alma mater.
His remains will later be brought back to his hometown in Agusan del Sur.

UAAP LENIENT TO ATENEO, BUT STRICT TO OTHER UNIVERSITIES?
Veteran sports broadcaster Quinito Henson questioned the UAAP's decision to let Ateneo de Manila University handle its own investigation into the drowning deaths of student-athletes Rene Clert Baterbonia and Divine Adili, noting that neither the university nor members of its coaching staff have been sanctioned or suspended in connection with the incident.
Henson pointed to previous cases in which the UAAP imposed penalties, including Adamson University's use of ineligible player Marlou Aquino and the controversy surrounding former coach Aldin Ayo's training camp, which led to complaints from players. He argued that the league's response in the Ateneo case appears inconsistent with its actions in past incidents.
