    4. 12:20 mukha nga the fact na ateneo never reached out agad to the parents, mukhang uunahin mag cover up muna and patahimik ibang mag alam para less damage

    7. Naikwento na to dati ni Mike Nieto eh tungkol sa boot camp sa Aurora, after gumapang sa buhangin pinapalangoy daw kahit di marunong lumangoy for endurance. Sa podcast ni RDO sa youtube pakinggan niyo sa bandang 13th minute.

      Delete
    8. Sa totoo lang ang T ng coach. Dati pa pala muntikan may nalunod. Ginawa pa ulit. Bakit mo papalanguyin yung mga hindi marunong lumangoy?! At kahit pa marunong lumangoy eh iba alon dun. Pang surfing nga Aurora eh. Kaya nga sumikat Baler dahil sa surfing. T lang ng coach. Suffer the consequences of your hubris and stupidity. KAWAWA yung mga namatay at mga magulang. Grabe. Kung America yan nagbayad na ng 100 million ang eskwelahan for each victims

    9. Sadista yung coach. Ateneo ihanda niyo na ang 9 figures payment for damages niyo sa pamilya. At sana ma ban na kayo for good sa UAAP

    10. Kala ng mga magulang at anak nila basketball training ang susuungin nila. Navy seal training at boot camp pala. Buwis buhay amp.

    11. Dun pa lang sa walang life vest tapos naglalalangoy sa beach eh sumisigaw na ang NEGLIGENCE ng coach at Ateneo. Magkakahustisya lang diyan pag nakulong yung coach at magbayad ng milyones ang Ateneo sa pamilya ng mga buktima at ma.ban for life sa UAAP

      Delete
    12. 1:22 may muntikan na palang nalunod sa batch nila pero tinuloy pa rin ng coach na yan ang boot camp nya at pinayagan ng Ateneo, so asan at sino ang may accountability sa trahedyang to?

      Delete
    13. Pag Ateneo masama na agad? Cover up agad? Kayo na po ang nagbibigay malisya.

      Delete
    14. @9:10 Sabihan mo ang Ateneo na
      wag PR unahin at kausapin agad ang nanay/magulang. Hindi tama na sa social media pa nila nalalaman ang mga nangyari habang sila mismo ang direktang apektado. Nakakaawa ang mga pamilya na naghihintay ng malinaw na sagot. Panahon nang magkaroon ng tunay na accountability at buong katotohanan tungkol sa nangyari

      Delete
    15. 9:10AM wdym nagbibigay malisya? It’s just a keen observation—kung aware ka naman sa development ng news. Pero ayan, lack of clear communication regarding what really happened means may pinagtatakpan. Maawa ka sa magulang na nangangailangan ng kalinawan and accountability, duh.

      Delete
    16. 910 sige Kung ikaw ang nalunod Di kami magbibigay ng malisya. Bida bida Ka eh

      Delete
    17. 9:10 may namatay dahil sa team building nila kuno. Sino may kasalanan? Ikaw yata eh.

      Delete
    18. 910 the mere fact na walang life guard yung mga pinapunta at pinalangoy nila sa dagat means negligence

    2. Omg initiation ba? If true, dapat may makulong! 2 bata ang namatay!

      Delete
    3. Nope. Team building is not the same as boot camp. Ok ka lang?? If pinalabas nila team building yung boot camp, somebody lied.

      Delete
    4. The mere fact na confiscated yung celfone nila for a week means something. Hindi yung ordinary team building. Ginawang boot camp. Sort of Military exercise. Hazing nga Kung tutuusin bago makasama sa team nila. Tapos yung kanong coach na ang gagawin lang eh babalik sa bansa nila. Dapat diyan hdo agad

      Delete
    5. Agree. Semantics. This was a pre-season training camp. Puro mga bago, freshman pa siguro Rene. Galing Agusan. Hindi ba pwedeng I-assess muna sa normal environment ang kaya muna ng nga bata? Isasabak sa dapat kung saan malalaki ang alon kaya nga pinupuntahan ng mga surfers ang Baler ano? Pag malaki ang alon, may rip tide yan! Asan ang lifeguards, medics, first aid people, standby equipment? Managot dapat ang coaching staff! Lahat sila!

  4. Swimming team ba sila? Bakit dinala sa dagat

    ReplyDelete
  5. Basketball player anak niya. Bakit ginawang pang swimmer ang training??? This must be further investigated. Una di marunong lumangoy sila. Pangalawa bakit pinalangoy ang mga di marunong lumangoy at pinalangoy ng may pabigat sa paa

    1. kahit nga training ng swimmers eh hindi open ocean, ideally sa controlled environment like swimming pools

      Delete
    2. Foreigner ba ang coach ng Ateneo kasi feeling nya lahat ng players nya marunong lumangoy? Nakakaloka. Tapos dagat pa, hindi ba pwedeng swimming pool muna. Hello, karamihan sa mga Pinoy maski nasa Isla nakatira eh hindi marunong lumangoy gaya ko.

    3. Of course they knew how to swim. Deadly rogue waves nga. Wala sila Laban. Research first before running your mouth

    5. 1149 of course they knew but expert ba sila? hindi naman sila swimmers dba? so we can considerv hem as hindi marunong as they are battling deadly rogue waves

    9. At pangatlo di muna tiniyak ang nga safety precautions that come with the training. Heller! athletes yan katawan puhunan — dapat very cautious pag na injury mawawalan ng star player. Si Christiano at Beckham nga d pwede mag ski habang naka kontrata baka ma injury.

  6. Condolence 🙏

  14. Accountability. Dahil may nawalang buhay at di lamg 1. Dalawang buhay pa. Kailangan may managot. Kng ako yung magulang, wala akong pake kahit sino kang respetadong coach or school. Buhay ng anak ang nawala, di na mababalik yun kaya makulong managot ang dapat managot.

  20. You gonna do risky and dangerous stuff like that, you need to have medics and rescue on call...this is hazing, not team building. This is endangerment, not empowerment. This is reckless and irresponsible. This was a tragedy waiting to happen.

    Let justice be served.

    1. This is part of risk assessment. Medics and life guards should ALWAYS be AVAILABLE for this kind of events. And every endurance test should be with approval of health experts. For a school like ATENEO that relies on their basketball teams for big fundings and sponsorship. The school could provide a safer environment for endurance and stamina training for their athletes. Sabihin man accident, there is negligence on their part.

  21. She can sue the school, she was not informed of anything. Grabe uso ba ang hindi nag iinform or nag send out ng slip sa parents?

  26. Coach Ayo of UST was banned indefinitely from all UAAP leagues due to bubble training during pandemic. The worst thing happened there was pinakain daw ng mamantika yung players kaya nagreklamo. Jusme, may buhay na nawala d2 sa ADMU.

  27. Ang mga NBA players minsan nag pool training sila with weights pero hindi sa dagat. Maling mali ang coach para gawin boot camp ang college basketball. Ilan championship na ba ang Atteneo under that coach? Sana talaga makuha ng mother ang answers kung bakit may pasa ang anak niya dapat Atteneo investigates and gives her the answers

  29. The strong waves may have been a factor during the training, but that doesn’t erase the serious questions that still need answers.

    Coach, not every athlete has the same physical condition, endurance, or limits. Just because some players were able to handle it doesn’t mean everyone could. That’s exactly why proper assessment, supervision, and safety measures are so important.

    Most importantly, a family lost a son. They deserve transparency, accountability, and direct communication from those responsible for the program.

    And where is the leadership now? The family should not have to search for answers on social media. They deserve to hear from the people who were in charge.

    I sincerely hope there is no news blackout. When a young life has been lost, the response should be openness, accountability, and respect for the grieving family.

  35. I hope the family sues the university. Being a parent myself i cannot fathomed what had happened to the students and then the university was NEVER there to help the bereaved family. They were reckless to send kids to Aurora for team building and no lifeguard or medical personnel on scene. It is very painful to see the parents mourn. I hope autopsy shows more of what we only know as viewers/commentators. Condolences to the family.

  36. May muntik na malunod before, inulit pa talaga nila ang ganyang training at pumayag ang Ateneo. Mukhang frustrated Navy Seal yang coach nila na may fetish sa pain.

  37. Kung galing sa mayamang pamilya ang bata ganyan din kaya ang naging trato sa magulang niya? Hindi ba pwedeng sa pool gawin ang water exercises na yan?Bakit kailangan sa dagat pa, napa-unpredictable ng dagat lalo na yan na Pacific ocean na.

  47. Under Philippine law, death caused by negligence is prosecuted as Reckless Imprudence Resulting in Homicide under Article 365 of the Revised Penal Code (RPC). This law imposes criminal liability on individuals whose voluntary, but malicious-free, actions or failures to act fall short of required safety standards, resulting in death.

    Ateneo, and the coaching team that made this happen are guilty of article 365. Merong criminal liability. Clear as day. They died because of their collective actions, sila ang may kusa. I hope the family has good lawyers. If not, i gofundme niyo po, maraming Pilipino ang tutulong. Many of us want to see justice done.

    Ayan po, klarong klaro, may criminal liability and ADMU lalo na ang coaches at team. Collective decision nila ang nagdulot ng trahedya. Sana may tumulong na lawyer at gawing kaso nila ang mga bball player.

  51. Nakakalungkot. For the coach and the university, it might be the championship that they are so keen in getting. That and the accolades of being one of the best teams in the league.

    But for the dreamers, in this case, the hardworking breadwinner Rene, para ito sa kinabukasan ng pamilya nila. It's more than their stint in the UAAP, it's a chance to make a great generational impact to their lives.

    RIP to Rene and Divine.

  52. Ateneo always been very good in covering up issues, inuuna pa nila protektahan ang pangalan nila kesa safety ng mga mag aaral.
    They should be held liable and accountable sa nangyari. Pinayagan nila yang “teambuilding” kuno.
    I cannot forget na may namatay na gradeschooler sa Ateneo, nasagasaan sa loob mismo ng campus dahil wala silang safe traffic flow system. Halo halo noon ang mga batang naglalakad, nag lalaro sa mismong kalye kung saan dumaraan mga kotse. After the tragic accident, saka lang nagkaroon ng traffic flow management sa loob ng campus where the children do not mix with the vehicles.
    Then let’s not start with the numerous bullying incidents na covered up ng school.
    Tapos ito na may dalawa, hindi lang isa, na namatay dahil sa gross negligence and maling training.
    Karma is catching up with Ateneo at the expense of students’ lives.
    Naturingan pa namang katolikong unibersidad and “men for others”. What a SHAME, Ateneo. I wonder how the leaders of Ateneo could sleep at night.
