Ateneo de Davao University (AdDU) announces it will provide full scholarships to all six siblings of Rene Clert “Bobet” Baterbonia. The decision is announced by AdDU president Fr. Karel San Juan during the 6 p.m. Mass held at the Christ the King Chapel of the university’s Senior High School–Bangkal Campus in Davao City. According to the reports, San Juan presents the scholarship offer as an effort to fulfill one of Baterbonia’s long-held aspirations, and the announcement is met with applause from those present.
Rappler reports that the scholarships are described as full, covering education from basic education through college for each of Baterbonia’s six siblings. Inquirer.net similarly says AdDU will grant scholarships to all six siblings and ties the announcement to the Mass at the chapel. All sources agree on the key elements: the university involved, the identity of the student’s six siblings, and that the scholarship support is intended to be comprehensive and span multiple levels of schooling.
