Don’t take those interview clips from some of my previous teammates out of context BUT THERE WAS NOTHING DONE TO US THAT WOULD PUT US IN IMMEDIATE DANGER - Shaggy Allmond, Former Ateneo Blue Eagle 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡 Yung iba samin di naman marunong lumangoy - Mike Nieto

Loss of life (young life at that) brought about by avoidable circumstances that the victims were exposed to by authority figures that were supposed to care and nurture them - is a tragedy that requires accountability. No it won’t bring back Divine and Rene, but we cannot allow people in power to be protected when their authority and status were wielded to put young men in precarious situations that took their lives. There’s anecdotes on record of precedent, there’s a grieving mother asking for the most basic details amid official statements saying they are ‘working closely’ with the families. Investigate this to the fullest. Basketball is by no means more important than protecting our young people, most especially those who come from backgrounds that force them and their families to look at a roster spot, game minutes, a coaching staff’s favor and approval - as tickets to a better life. Pay close attention to who says what, if anything at all. If you’re not enraged by the avoidable accident that took the lives of two young men, if your instinct is to protect an institution’s reputation over condemning those responosible for two boys dying, if you would rather be silent because you’re worried about relationships or your place in the industry, then you’re part of the problem. This was avoidable. This was negligent. It’s only basketball, ffs. There are people responsible. Hold them accountable.

FORMER BLUE EAGLE SPEAKS UP 🗣️ “I do feel the need to post this after seeing a ton of false narratives blasted online. As someone who experienced that training camp during my time with ADMU that they also just went through as well, I understand the gravity of the training itself and what we willingly put ourselves through in hopes to boost conditioning ahead of the season and become closer as a team. There are a few things I’d like to address though based on other social media posts. 1. There is absolutely no way that this had anything to do with “initiation”. The team goes there for the sole purpose of conditioning, getting stronger, becoming a closer team due to the hardships faced during that specific beach training. Between working your ass off on that beach and a little bit of time to rest and eat there is no time to even think of doing any kind of initiation there. Each player is so tired from the work they put in the whole day that they wouldn’t even have enough energy to do something like that. Those players love each other and wouldn’t put each other in an initiation situation like that where there could be a grave outcome that way. 2. Don’t take those interview clips from some of my previous teammates out of context and try to spin your own story out of it for content. Yes, that was probably the most physically and mentally draining training that I’ve ever experienced but there was nothing done to us that would put us in immediate danger. So to the people spreading news that the players were forced to wear weights on their feet in the water, check your source first because I highly doubt the coaching staff would allow or even think to do that. Allow the families, teammates, coaches, and ADMU community to grieve and let the investigation take its course based on facts before spreading fake narratives and adding fuel to the fire. The only people there are the team and coaches and staff. They are the ones who know the truth so let’s let things take their natural course before making horrid accusations.” -Shaggy Allmond, Former Ateneo Blue Eagle
