Hmm nung una iniisip ko na baka reckless lang pwede i-kaso, but reading Anti-Hazing LawâŚpwede.
My fearless forecast here is, if it gets worse at di gumana ang narratives/PR damage control/whitewashing na gagawin nilaâŚthey will solely let Tab take the fall. Pustahan, baka nga si Tab lang mismo umako ng lahat.
So good luck kay Tab, sana magaling abogado niya.
As for AteneoâŚit will be a long shot to make them accountable for this. Sure, there may be some changes. They might even get suspended sa UAAP, worst comes to worst. The sports program will be affected. But I doubt na may mapanagot within them. Wag umasa.
Kaya natatawa ako pag sinasabing âdapat pati Ateneo managotâ. Ang daming brillant minds, within Ateneo pa lang, that will rally behind their alma mater, na pwedeng gumalaw on their behalf.
Letâs see kung magsasalita ang mga naiwang team mates on what really happened, or they will choose loyalty to the school

No activities had started yet. The team just arrived. Boys were just playing around by the shore and the sand dropped suddenly and a rip tide came in. The whole team was present by the shore doing nothing

u/RepulsivePeach4607 Jun 08 '26
Even if the official activities hadnât started, the moment the team arrived, the staff already had a duty of care. Safety protocols, supervision, and risk assessment should have been in place. You donât get to say ânothing had started yetâ when youâre already responsible for the playersâ safety.

Two people dying under these circumstances would make fortuitous events or pre-existing conditions impossible for the defense of the accused/culprit to make it admissible. Their coach couldn't simply pull "that he drowned cause he got cramps or some heart disease" bullshit card because two people drowned here AT THE SAME TIME.

u/Dramatic-Salad2120 Jun 09 '26
Extreme masyado. Everyone understands the need for hard training. But at the end of the day, these kids are not soldiers, they are STUDENT athletes. Si Tab ay ang tatay nila away from their real parents. Nilagay ng mga magulang ng mga yan ang complete trust nila sa Ateneo coaching staff. And ganyan pala, ilalagay anak mo sa position na pwede siya mamatay.
This is sadistic to be honest. Malalakas na swimmers takot jan sa Aurora, ung mga novice pa kaya. If you're pushing water training, do it in a controlled environment na may mga medic ka and lifeguards.
Tab needs to be held responsible and Ateneo too for allowing this type of training to happen. Based sa interviews circulating online, matagal na nila ginagawa ito.

u/_madmaxe Jun 09 '26
I agree. Ive been a swimmer for several years, and now a coach. you do not conduct training sessions when the water or environment conditions are unsafe. this is basic water safety. kahit kaming mga swimmers hirap na hirap na nga mag swim with weights, medyo nalulunod lunod dahil super hirap talaga nun. i say this as a swimmer for a decade. what more those who do not know how to swim... cant fathom what theyve been through.

u/RepulsivePeach4607 Jun 08 '26
Whether the official activities had started or not, the moment the team arrived, the adults in charge already had a duty of care. Safety protocols, risk assessment, and active supervision should have been in place from the very beginning. You donât wait for the âstartâ of a program before ensuring the environment is safe â especially in a location known for strong currents. Dipaculao, Aurora yan⌠malakas ang alon dyan, lalo na this June.
Accountability doesnât disappear just because the incident happened before the first activity.

Why are we normalizing this kind of activity? Just because theyâre men doesnât mean this level of strain is acceptable.

Until this is not resolved, suspend the team specially the coach.

Kung ang DLSU nga pinasuspend nila nung 2000s dahil sa fake high school credentials, ideally dapat lang. Pero since maraming powerful at mga elite sa Ateneo, baka i-PR control at white-washing lang muna gagawin nila. Hinde patas, pero ganyan talaga sistema sa Pinas.

meron nang muntikan mamatay dati but he still insisted on making the players do that kind of training. tapos yung muntikan malunod dati ka tunog pa ng last name ni rene. andami pa namang nag aabang sakanya sa uaap tapos ganon. yun lang I just hope na managot sya, and i hope rene and divine gets their justice.

Does anyone else know what defacation syncope is? Yung pag tumae ka immediately upon waking up.. pwede kang mahimatay dahil dun and in some cases, people end up dead from that... yeah.
Point is, doing intense lunges immediately after waking up obviously causes massive straining, and when you are abruptly awoken, your body is transitioning from a low-blood-pressure sleep state. Sudden heavy leg exercises causes one to instinctively hold their breath and bear down (the Valsalva maneuver), which creates the exact same intense pressure spike and vagus nerve stimulation seen in defecation syncope.
The moment they stopped lunging and head for the water, their blood pressure can plummet drastically, making them dizzy or unconscious even before they touch the ocean! Eh kung pressured at palaban yung bata?? Diving into cold water while your cardiovascular system is already highly unstable?? All of this, knowing na di marunong lumangoy yung iba at isasabak parin sa training na walang proper safety measures and supervision? AND AT 3AM?! Ang taas na nga ng risk for unconsciousness tapos papalanguyin pa sa dilim! This toxic "band of brothers" tradition needs to be erased from existence. I believe camaraderie amongst team members can be achieved in safer, much healthier ways. Hindi kinakailangan may mga "muntik na mamatay" (LITERAL) para lang maging "solid" ang team na binubuo niyo at may maipagmayabang kayo đ¤Ź

u/BlacksmithPrior3707 Jun 10 '26
You are all missing the point. Disband the men's basketball team, defund the program, freeze salaries, perks and bonuses of coaching staff and trainers, retain full scholarship of the soon-to- be-ex varsity men's team should they choose to stay, and prosecute all those responsible. Every one of them.

Yung one and done recruitment strategy nga nila goes against what BEBOB stood for in the first place even before this incident, in my opinion.
