@DekamPatrick @volleybagan A grieving mother shouldn't be expected to choose her words perfectly. Whether people agree with what she said or not, her pain is real. The focus should be on finding the truth and giving Rene and his family the justice they deserve

[maan 3scur0 🐭 💚❤️🖤 🇵🇭🇺🇸 @ms_maan]

@JovsCastillo3 @volleybagan Then maybe the truth should've been delivered directly to the bereaved family with compassion and respect - not through podcasts, social media statements, news reports, town halls, or press releases.

Tama na ang PR at legal positioning. Face the truth. Face the family.

@annezerothree @AldwinArie7192 @volleybagan At kung manumpa or magwala man siya sa libing ng anak niya, hindi OA tawag doon - it's grief bc of a painful loss.

Oo, lahat tayo mamamatay. Pero hindi ibig sabihin nun na hindi masakit ang mamatayan, lalo na kung pakiramdam mo pinagkakaitan ka ng katotohanan at hustisya.

@annezerothree @AldwinArie7192 @volleybagan OA? Napanood mo ba MOST if not all ng interviews niya? Napaka-composed, mahinahon, at polite nga niya. She's a grieving mother who lost her son due to others' alleged negligence. Pinagkatiwala niya ang anak niya sa mga taong iyon, sa eskwelahan.

"We stand on a hill, between the earth and sky." As an alumnus, how many times have I heard a certain hymn start this way?

The hymn progresses to the words: “Down from the hill, down to the world go I”.

It is a stirring idea. At its best, it calls those formed in a privileged institution to leave the comfort of the hill — the shelter of education, prestige, community, and inherited moral confidence — in order to serve the wider world. It suggests that those formed in elite schools should not live only for themselves, but should descend from the symbolic hill of learning and enter society with a mission to help, uplift, and reform.

But the same idea, when taught without humility and absorbed without humility, can produce the opposite of service. It can create not only students, but institutions, with a bloated sense of moral authority. Instead of forming men and women for others, an institution may begin to see itself as above others. Instead of producing responsible citizens, it may produce generations of self-appointed correctors of society who are very quick to diagnose the faults of the world, but very slow to admit their own.

The danger lies in the subtle transformation of vocation into superiority. When an institution is repeatedly told — and repeatedly tells itself — that it exists to “go down” to the world, it may begin to imagine that the world is beneath it. The hill becomes not merely a place of formation, but a pedestal.

This danger becomes even greater when the institution is run by those who were themselves taught the same thing. Those who once sang of going down from the hill may, in time, become the very guardians of that hill. They inherit not only its ideals, but also its temptations: the temptation to feel chosen, enlightened, morally elevated, and historically entitled to correct everyone else.

The institution then no longer enters the world as a servant. It enters as a judge.

This breeds institutional entitlement. The institution begins to believe that because it speaks the language of justice, reform, inclusion, compassion, service, and nation-building, it must already be just, reformist, inclusive, compassionate, and patriotic. The vocabulary of virtue becomes a substitute for virtue itself. The performance of concern becomes enough. The institution learns to criticize governments, corporations, families, churches, communities, and society at large, but does not learn the equally important discipline of examining its own conduct.

This is how moral education can become moral vanity.

An institution may know how to denounce corruption, but not how to admit dishonesty. It may know how to speak against oppression, but not how to apologize when it has harmed someone weaker. It may know how to demand transparency, but not how to answer plainly when it itself is questioned. It may know how to call others accountable, but not how to be accountable.

The result is a dangerous double standard. When society is at fault, the institution is a reformer. When the institution is at fault, it becomes a victim of misunderstanding, pressure, complexity, circumstance, or process.

Its mistakes are contextualized, softened, excused, delayed, or reframed. The faults of others are moral failings; its own faults are institutional complexities.

Others must answer. It must be understood.

This attitude is especially destructive because it hides behind noble language. An institution that sees itself as a corrector of society can easily confuse criticism with courage, reputation with righteousness, ideology with character, and public statements with genuine accountability. It may believe that its good intentions cancel out its bad actions. It may think that because it claims to form people for a better world, it should be forgiven for the damage it causes in the actual world.

In this way, the rhetoric of service becomes a shield against responsibility.

True formation should produce the opposite. The more privileged the institution, the deeper the humility required. The more it teaches its students to serve society, the more it must be willing to accept correction. The more it speaks of justice, the more it must practice justice when justice becomes inconvenient to itself.

To go down from the hill should never mean descending as a superior institution among inferior people. It should never mean possessing moral authority by history, prestige, tradition, or reputation. It should mean carrying a heavier burden. It should mean being subject to stricter accountability. It should mean being the first to answer, not the last; the first to admit fault, not the first to explain it away.

The real test of formation is not whether an institution can identify the ills of society. Many can do that. The real test is whether it can recognize the same defects in itself: pride, dishonesty, cruelty, negligence, cowardice, hypocrisy, and evasion.

An institution has failed if it teaches its students to correct everyone except themselves. It has failed if it gives them the confidence to accuse, but not the conscience to confess. It has failed if it teaches them to speak eloquently about justice, but cannot itself say, simply and honestly: “We were wrong.”

The idea of going “down from the hill” remains noble only when joined to humility, self-scrutiny, and personal responsibility. Without these, it becomes a breeding ground for moral arrogance. It creates not only people, but institutions, that believe they are destined to repair society while remaining exempt from the ordinary duties of decency, remorse, and accountability.

To serve the world is not to stand above it. To reform society is not to be excused from one’s own wrongdoing. And to come from the hill is not to possess moral authority by birthright.

For an institution, especially one run by those who were themselves formed by the same hymn and the same ideal, the obligation is even heavier. It must not merely teach accountability. It must embody it. It must not merely demand truth from others. It must tell the truth about itself. It must not merely send its students down from the hill. It must come down from the pedestal.

BECAUSE THE HILL WAS NEVER MEANT TO BE A THRONE.

It was meant to be a place of formation for service, humility, and responsibility.

KALMADO PERO MAPANGANIB 🌊

Kasunod ng pagpanaw nina Rene Baterbonia at Divine Adili sa isang team building activity, muling nabigyang pansin ang panganib ng rip current — isang malakas at mabilis na agos ng tubig na humihila

I pray for you as well, Coach Tab. Truly. I hope you, your staff, and the rest of @ateneodemanilau find the courage to do the right thing. 🙏

For God. For the bereaved families. For Rene and Divine. For justice. And for your own souls.

Sincerely.

A message from Coach Tab Baldwin.

[Nikko Ramos @NikkoRMS]

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 won’t 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. There’s anecdotes on record of precedent, there’s a grieving mother asking for the most basic details amid official statements saying they are ‘working closely’ 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 staff’s favor and approval - as tickets to a better life.

Pay close attention to who says what, if anything at all. If you’re not enraged by the avoidable accident that took the lives of two young men, if your instinct is to protect an institution’s reputation over condemning those responosible for two boys dying, if you would rather be silent because you’re worried about relationships or your place in the industry, then you’re part of the problem.

This was avoidable. This was negligent. It’s only basketball, ffs. There are people responsible. Hold them accountable.

[jill @jkgroves]

The fact that Blake Narcissistic Abu$er Lively is attempting to co-opt legislation meant to protect powerless victims is LAUGHABLY OFFENSIVE.

She quite literally, according to Judge Liman, had all the power in that relationship. She had star status, clout, and all the connections in the world. Her play-pretending to be a victim is probably the most hilarious thing ever to come out of a Hollywood scandal.

She had so much power on the It Ends With Us set, that she was able to waltz in after Justin and co had been working to adapt the book for 5 YEARS, and start causing so much chaos and headaches that Sony executives and producers likened her to a terrorist.

She had so much power that an email from her husband, threats to walk, and a few nonsense “complaints” and insinuations gave her the leverage to take complete control of editing, final say on the cut, composition, release date, and all promotion and marketing of the film.

Yet she’s the victim?

She had so much power that she was able to completely disallow her victim (the director/producer/financier/head of studio) to participate in promotion of the film. There was nothing hanging out there, all “complaints” had been resolved and they had finished filming successfully.

She had so much power that she obtained final say over the trailer and demanded that her victim be shown as little as possible and removing his name. She also removed his face and name (as well as the other main actor) from the poster art, leaving her face and her name only. She then demanded that her victim could not include “A Film By…” credit on the poster.

She had so much power that she was able to determine that IF her victim were to be able to attend the global premiere of the film (Sony actually grew a pair on this one and claimed contractual obligation that he attend), there had to be 2 separate theaters and he and his had to wait in the basement while she and hers walked the red carpet FIRST.

She had so much power that she demanded that her victim make a (poorly written) statement that she and her a$$hole husband crafted, having her victim take all of the blame for everything that she had done to him and his film (DARVO anyone?).

When her victim FINALLY FOUGHT BACK, she threatened more bullying, harassment, and complete ruination with a frivolous lawsuit based on manufactured allegations of SH.

Blake Lively is no victim. She HAS victims. She is a tormentor, a manipulator, a TERRORIST.

Never let her forget that WE KNOW WHO SHE IS.

Tears an innocent man down, then backs out when the narrative won’t hold. No accountability - just a quick pivot to red carpets & “fake” advocacy. The gap between image & reality is doing all the talking, and it’s loud.

Evil B*TCH, that's who Blake Lively is.
