some fb boomers are so obsessed with finding someone to blame that they're treating traumatized student-athletes like criminals based on speculation instead of facts. weird behavior.
apparently, defending traumatized student-athletes from misinformation and baseless accusations makes me an "Atenean" now.
I'm not defending an institution. I'm defending kids my age who are being blamed for a tragedy they didn't cause.
@TheGUIDON “They were not just students, they were victims as well,” a faculty member screamed, as a response to the moderator asking if the public has any questions from Bahay, Espinosa, and Bongo. | @TheGUIDON
I cannot believe Kieffer Alas and Sam Reyes are getting anything other than sympathy for telling their story. Ang sasahol na ng mga tao these days. Parang gusto pa talaga maging murder yung nangyari.
Rene and Divine deserve justice. but so do the survivors deserve compassion
dami ko nang nakasagutan na boomers at fake news peddlers sa blue app, at di pa rin ako magsasawang ipagtanggol yang mga batang yan—lalo na't kaedaran ko lang sila.

"Me [Kieff], Jay-M, and Divine were all depending on EJ kasi alam namin na magaling siya mag-swimming. I was on one shoulder, Divine was on the other shoulder, tapos si Jay-M nasa harap niya."
"Tinulak kami ni EJ closer to the shore."
grabe😭😭😭😭
and welfare during that activity—not toward traumatized young athletes who are grieving the same loss.
Justice for Rene and Divine. and compassion for the players who survived it.
while everyone is demanding answers, napapansin ko na nami-misdirect na yung galit ng iba. I've seen people bash the players, especially Kiefer Alas, as if sila yung dahilan ng nangyari. others are even questioning why some of them are silent on social media, as if grieving +
grieving students like they're the enemy. the players were students. they were participants. If there are hard questions that need to be answered, those questions should be directed toward the institution and the people responsible for ensuring the students' safety +
