i swear if this happened to someone from an elite family with both parents being atenistas or from any major university, they would've already held press conferences and mobilized everyone. the way this has been handled is disgusting. what the actual fuck ATENEO
LOOK: Rovelyn, the mother of Ateneo Men’s Basketball Team player Rene Baterbonia, expressed deep grief over the death of her son following what was described as a team “training” activity. (1/2) @gmanews
She says she is left with many unanswered questions, why her son met such a fate, why he was allegedly not rescued in time, and why weights were reportedly attached to his arms and feet while swimming. She is now calling for justice and a full investigation into the incident.
I watched the entire interview of Mike Nieto on YT and he says during his time, Coach Tab was famous for a bootcamp in Baler, Aurora in a resort na “tago.”
They swam, even those who didn’t know how.
I’m all for greatness but the bootcamp sounds like hazing. ☠️
#Whiplash
Mas nakakalungkot yung fact na hindi lang isa, kundi dalawa. Dalawa silang namatay?! Whatever they do in that fucking “teambuilding” or “bootcamp” needs to be stopped and investigated. This is also on you, Coach Tab. ON YOU. My god.
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. :(
siguro inaatupag ngayon ng ateneo is paano papatahimikin ‘yung mga alam sa totoong nangyari 🙁 ateneo, hold yourselves accountable. dalawang buhay ang nawala. hindi pwedeng namatay lang sila sa “team building”.
The message of Rene’s mother to Tab Baldwin and Ateneo:
“Isa lang ang masasabi ko: BAKIT? Kung isinama ninyo kami sa pag-uusap at ipinaalam ninyo sa amin na may ganoon palang uri ng training, kahit mahirap lang kami, hindi ko papayagang sumali roon ang anak ko. Hindi biro ang lahat ng pagsisikap at sakripisyo ng anak ko, tapos ganito na lang ba ang mangyayari sa kanya?
Hanggang ngayon, wala pa ring malinaw at tamang sagot kung bakit nangyari ito. Sana ay masagot ninyo ang lahat ng aming mga tanong at mabigyan kami ng katotohanan at paliwanag na matagal na naming hinihintay.
Hindi ko pa nakita ang katawan ng anak ko hanggang ngayon. Wala pa silang ibinigay na larawan o video sa akin. Kung totoo na talagang wala na ang anak ko at hindi ko rin alam kung nasaan siya.
Napakahirap kapag mahirap ka dahil hindi ka basta-basta makakapunta kung saan-saan para maghanap ng mga sagot. Sino ba ang lalapitan ko? Saan ba ako pupunta upang mabigyan ng malinaw na sagot at malaman ang totoong nangyari sa anak ko?”
💔
kaya hindi talaga ako naniniwala sa mga bashers na nagsasabing may attitude si shuvee, they’ve never even met her personally. i’d rather believe the people who actually know her and spend time with her irl
