ATENEO, KASADO NA SA UAAP?

ISYU pa rin ang present image ng ATENEO DE MANILA UNIVERSITY (ADMU) relative sa controversy ng recent Dipaculao, Baler, Aurora tragedy mula sa Aqua training na pinagbuwisan ng buhay nina Palarong Pambansa MVP RENE CLERT ‘Bobet’ BATERBONIA,19, at Nigerian Import DIVINE ADILI, 21.

Trending sa social media ang issue at wish ng sympathizers and haters na huwag muna sila sumali sa 2026 University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) Season 89, opening sa Mall of Asia (MOA) Arena, September 12, sponsored by FAR EASTERN UNIVERSITY (FEU).

“JUSTICE FIRST BEFORE GAME!” sigaw ng family and supporters nina BOBET at DIVINE na nasayang ang opportunity as caging icons nang malunod sa ATENEO training. Big question ang consequences sa isolated area, walang lifeguards, walang medics ng resort as per reports and investigations.. Bakit sa open seas, hindi sa usual pool with no rift current, giant waves na drowning hazards/killers? Foul play o negligence nga ba?

Sa update, recommended ng National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) na kasuhan ng homicide ang ATENEO Coaching staff led by resigned Headcoach THOMAS ANTHONY ‘TAB’ BALDWIN.

To recall the chaos sa isang game ng top pro league Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) involving PBA greats, then playing coach ROBERT JAWORSKI and ALLAN CAIDIC, nagkabatuhan pa ng bottled water. Aabangan ang reaction ng haters/audience sa Blue Eagles. Posible bang bastusin sa cheering at simulan ng gulo? Isyung delicadeza at respeto ang sigaw sa socmed ng followers and side ng victims. Such a long way to go, let’s wait and see.
