Students, teachers, and staff of Ateneo de Manila University hold a solidarity walkout to demand transparency, accountability, and justice following the deaths of two student-athletes, men’s basketball players Rene Clert Baterbonia and Divine Adili. According to reports, the walkout involves students and faculty members as well as other members of the university community, who stage the protest in connection with the drowning deaths. One report describes the call for “justice” alongside demands for “transparency” and “accountability,” while another highlights the broader demand for “truth” and similar accountability measures. The action takes place as students and staff walk out from classes as part of the protest. The reports characterize the walkout as a collective effort by the Ateneo community rather than as actions by a single group, with participants joining to press for clarity around the circumstances of the athletes’ deaths and for appropriate institutional and investigative follow-through. The university community’s demands focus on uncovering facts and ensuring responsibility in the case.
