Just what the doctor prescribed!
Di ako naaawa. Matec Villanueva lacks the brain cells and empathy needed for her job. And her bosses just let her. Nakakaloka. It’s Ateneo’s fault din because there are many brilliant PR graduates from their school but they just let this woman destroy them.

Finger pointing has started. The authorities really have to step in now. Questions are calling for answers and the buck passing is simply evident.
JUST IN: MVP Sports Foundation denies owning the Ateneo men’s basketball team, says support to the Blue Eagles is limited to funding. The group says it has no say in how the team is developed and managed. | via @alyasjah

Simply an outpouring of love to a favorite son. All the dreams and frustration of a nation come together to greet a fallen player whose dreams are shared by everybody else.

Doubling down on this statement after the Loyola press conference yesterday. Whatever happened to the main campus?
Turns out Davao has a better Ateneo than Loyola.

Damage has been done by their failure to respond immediately after the incident. Had this briefing happen earlier, the public would have been more understanding.

What government agencies are not telling you is that when they issue a subpoena, either the respondent or his lawyer can appear at the proceedings. It may disappoint some, but it is what it is. Also, when a person lawyers up, he may choose not to answer, upon advice of counsel.

You may not like it, you may complain, but that’s how the system goes. You say it’s wrong, but wait until you become the person of interest. Procedural law protects you. Otherwise, you can be forced to admit guilt against your will.

I asked my new Envi students if zero basura is possible. They said no. No? Look down 👇

Oh my gosh this photo. Fr. Karel sending off Bobet to Agusan del Sur. Hindi na muling babalik si Bobet sa Ateneo de Davao, ang tahanang yumakap sa kanya at nagpakita kung paano tunay na kumalinga at magmahal ang isang Ateneo. Mabuhay kayo, @ADDU_Official. ⚔️💙 📸 Explained PH

And that the cutting is subject to environmental assessment that seriously considers alternatives to avoid cutting or to minimize negative environmental impacts. It’s not automatic; you don’t just cut a tree because it’s convenient for you.
Sa ilalim ng batas, nagiging legal lamang ang pagpuputol ng puno kung ito ay delikado o hindi kaya ay nanganganib nang bumagsak, o kinakailangan nang alisin para sa isang pribadong proyekto. Buong ulat: abscbn.news/4e7riRo

I am not surprised. I’ve seen this treachery before and this has become a tactic: suspend, then resume surreptitiously. Do you think that if DENR really cared, this would be happening?
Nakakagalit! Wala na ang mga puno! This reminds me yung song ng folk band na ASIN na Kapaligiran: Bakit 'di natin pag-isipan Ang nangyayari sa ating #kapaligiran Hindi nga masama ang pag-unlad Kung hindi nakakasira ng #kalikasan Darating ang panahon, mga ibong gala Ay wala nang madadapuan Masdan mo ang mga #punong dati ay kay tatag Ngayon'y namamatay dahil sa ating kalokohan ©️ Kasikap Moto Vlog

He scored 2 pts, by the way. Those who belittle that score should look at Towns score of 2 pts, too. Congrats to our kababayan!

Coach Tab and the Ateneo have been condemned and lynched in the court of public opinion. But to this day, no criminal or civil case has been filed to finally put this tragedy to closure. So let a case be filed so due process will take its course and justice be finally served.

We need to hear more! Is this something sexual or psychological in nature or merely a failure to provide or is a third party involved? Juicy bits that may not even concern the deaths of the 2 players.
My mom BEGGED them to assign him into a different team- a team with adults, away from the university, away from minors and they not only ignored her but made her life living hell for months. Keep asking questions.

Anybody still believes DENR? This is happening in all parts of the country and they want us to believe that they are not complicit in these activities? The leadership should resign for being incapable of protecting the environment.
The Department of Environment Natural Resources is already investigating the contractors involved in the reported earth-balling activities along Roxas Boulevard, with a specific focus on whether their methods violated established environmental protocols and the conditions of their permits.

Today is Independence Day. Sadly, we are not independent from poverty, violence, injustice,& external aggression.More than a hundred years and we are still facing the evils that our heroes fought against during their time. History repeating itself for we never learn our lessons

Ateneo’s handling of the Dipaculao tragedy is so much different from the frat hazing incident in the 90s. Back then, it was the Ateneo admin that took the lead in investigating and suspending people involved in hazing. It was proactive and there was never any attempt to stall.

Compare to today and you see a big difference. Ateneo’s handling of the accident is far from transparent. You get a sense that it is protecting its institutional interest with all the carefully worded statements. Ateneo should look back to what worked so well in the 90s.

With them as counsel, life becomes easier for the lawyers who will defend Ateneo and Coach Tab!
Agusan del Sur Gov. Santiago Cane Jr. has denied claims that he designated lawyers Jimmy Bondoc and Israelito Torreon to represent the family of the late basketball prospect, Rene “Bobet” Baterbonia, saying the lawyers “merely offered” to provide legal assistance should the family decide to pursue legal action.
