‘Basketball naman ‘yung anak ko, hindi naman swimming’
Rovelyn Baterbonia, mother of student-athlete Rene, recounted the final moments she talked with her son days before he drowned during a boot camp training of Ateneo Blue Eagles men’s basketball in Dipaculao, Aurora.
“Nung nag-orient sila hindi talaga sinabi na magkakaroon ng training na ganun. Kung sinabi na lang nila, matanong ko na sa anak ko kung kaya mo ba ‘yun? Para madesisyunan namin. Hindi ko alam ba’t ganun ang nangyari,” she told News5 on Tuesday.
In Palarong Pambansa 2026, Baterbonia and the Davao Eagles placed first runner-up. He transferred to AdMU and was set to play in the University Athletic Association of the Philippines season 89.
“Bigla na lang nag-text ‘yung anak ko sabi, ‘Ma, one week siguro wala akong cellphone. Kasi may training kami.’ Tapos sabi niya hindi raw pwede mag-cellphone,” she added.
She also narrated how she received a phone call, notifying her of the passing of her son. | via Mon Gualvez/News5
