Nagpaabot ang Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Caraga ng simpatya at pakikiramay para sa nasawing student-athlete ng Ateneo Blue Eagles Basketball Team na si Rene Clent Baterbonia.
Kasamang binawian ng buhay ni Baterbonia ang kapwa niya student-athlete na Nigerian na si Divine Adili, matapos umanong malunod ang dalawa sa gitna ng isang team-building activity sa Dipaculao, Aurora noong Lunes, Hunyo 8.
Sa isang pahayag na ibinahagi ng DSWD sa kanilang official at verified Facebook page noong Miyerkules ng gabi, Hunyo 10, nagpaabot din sila ng panalangin para sa dating monitored child ng Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) na si Baterbonia.
“The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Field Office Caraga extends its heartfelt condolences and prayers to the bereaved family and friends of Rene Clert Baterbonia, a former 4Ps Monitored Child and Student Athlete hailing from Talacogon, Agusan Del Sur,” saad ng DSWD Caraga sa kanilang post.
Kinilala rin ng departamento ang dedikasyon at husay na ipinamalas ng student-athlete—sa court man o bilang isang dating 4Ps member.
“As we mourn his untimely passing, we also honor the dedication and spirit he displayed both on the court and as a proud member of the 4Ps community. His journey as a student-athlete remains an inspiration to many young Caraganons,” anang departamento.
“May his soul rest in eternal peace, and may his family find strength and comfort during this deeply difficult time,” pagtatapos ng DSWD Caraga.
Matatandaang nauna nang nagpaabot ng pakikiramay ang Department of Education (DepEd) sa pagkasawi ni Baterbonia.
“Nakikiramay ang Department of Education (DepEd) sa pamilya, mga kaibigan, teammates, coaches, at mga mahal sa buhay ni Rene Clert ‘Bobet’ Baterbonia,” saad ng DepEd sa kanilang pahayag.
