SAY HELLO TO RAFA! 👋
Rafael Soriano, a 6’2 left-handed outside spiker from Cavite, is the newest addition to the 🏹DLSU Green Spikers.
Welcome to Taft! 💚🏐
What I got from Sam Reyes and Kieffer Alas’ interview:
- It was not an initiation rite.
- They were doing an exercise in thigh-deep water when the waves suddenly became stronger.
- CPR was being performed on Rene before a medic stopped it so he could be brought to the ambulance.
- Divine still had a pulse when he was recovered but was taken to the hospital in a police vehicle.
- No one aside from Rene and Divine was in critical condition, contrary to some early reports.
- No ankle weights were used.
- No gag order, but they were advised not to speak publicly (except to family).
- They’ve been receiving death threats.
- They believe the backlash has been worsened by the lack of information released publicly by Ateneo.
- They waited to speak because it was difficult emotionally and because they were expecting the fact-finding process.
- They said they still haven’t been interviewed for the investigation.
- Right now, they’re focused on recovering mentally before returning to basketball.

Amie Provido to 🦅Ateneo:
“To those who are responsible, please face this with honesty. These families don’t just need condolences, they need the truth, they need answers, and they deserve justice.
I stand with the grieving families in demanding full transparency.”
FOR THE ADILI FAMILY 🦅

these players :( gone too soon. i hope na lumabas yung katotohanan and managot yung need managot. for rene, grabe yung pag alaga sa kanya ng addu, kakatapos lang ng palaro, and ilang days pa lang sya sa mnl😔
rest in peace, rene and divine🕊️
Just a few days ago, he hugged his mom goodbye before flying to Manila. 😔
This is truly heartbreaking. My thoughts and prayers are with his mother, his loved ones, and everyone grieving this loss.
Gone too soon. Rest in peace, Rene Baterbonia. And to Divine Idili as well. :(
