Ateneo de Manila University (ADMU) faculty members issue an open letter to university president Fr. Roberto Yap, SJ, asking for “greater clarity and transparency” following the drowning deaths of student-athletes Rene Baterbonia and Divine Adili. In the letter, the faculty members say the university is responsible for students’ safety and therefore is accountable to the families of the victims, the Ateneo community, and the wider public. They state that those affected have the right to know and hear the university’s institutional position. The letter is signed by more than a hundred educators from the university and expresses sorrow over the incident while requesting clearer information about what happened and what actions the institution will take. The faculty members also call for an apology, reflecting their view that the situation requires a more direct response from ADMU leadership. The open letter represents a formal internal push by faculty for greater public explanation in the wake of the tragedy.
