According to the volunteers, the family and Coach Jess knew Atty. Torreon wished to enter, but to respect the family’s privacy and the solemnity of the service, he was not allowed to enter at that time. Please don’t make this about you.
His visit last night came shortly after the eulogy delivered by Bobet’s mother. At that moment, the family was understandably focused on mourning and honoring their loved one. Discussing legal matters during such an emotional and sensitive occasion would not have been appropriate
‘I DON’T KNOW WHY I AM PROHIBITED INSIDE’
Atty. Israelito Torreon, legal counsel for the Baterbonia family, said he was denied entry by Ateneo’s administration to the venue of Rene Baterbonia’s wake on Sunday.
In an interview, Torreon said that even though he knows the vice president of Ateneo, he does not know why he was prohibited from entering.
“I was supposed to confer with my clients regarding the preparation for the transfer of the cadaver from Davao City to Agusan,” Torreon said.
Torreon was joined by Cebuana lawyer-content creator Atty. Regal Oliva. (Screenshots from contributed video) | via Kristin de Dios/The Freeman
Alam niyo Ateneo kung talagang aksidente lang yan, somehow mas madali siya sabihin sa public eh. Pero yung until now tahimik pa rin kayo at walang humaharap sa media, it speaks volume. Halatang may pinoprotektahan kayo.
Literal na karton ang ceiling ng bahay nila Rene Baterbonia 😭
Nakikipagsapalaran sa Manila para maiahon ang pamilya sa kahirapan tapos isang iglap lang biglang nawala 🕊️
Nakakadurog ng puso 💔
crab mentality and inferiority complex has always always ruined the PH
hindi kasalanan ng mga bata kung saan sila pinanganak at lumaki!! desisyon nilang piliin ang pilipinas pero walang respeto ang pagtrato niyo sa kanila!!
Kontrolin niyo yung mga comments niyo sa U16 team. Malamang sasagot nanay niyan, pinagpepyestahan yung anak eh. Please be reminded na mga bata pa ang mga 'yan. Biktima lang ang mga players sa sistema, you're barking at the wrong tree.
Gusto nyo Homegrown quota sa National team? Sige go. Pero ginagawan nyo ba ng paraan to bridge the development gap between diaspora and locals? Wala nga tayong matinong Professional league (Men and Women's). Keyword Matino. PFL isn't, but it's there, it's something.
Let's focus on supporting the player's journey and appreciating their hard work to improve and contribute to the team, rather than dwelling on where they started. Also, take note na he's still a minor and has a lot of room for improvement. 🥰
