Ramirez calls for accountability

Manila Bulletin

June 11, 2026

Amid the public grief and mourning sparked by the tragic drowning of two Ateneo de Manila Blue Eagles players earlier this week, former Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) chairman William “Butch” Ramirez said on Wednesday that those responsible for the reported team-building activity in Aurora Province have no choice but to step down.

“Time for the Ateneo men’s basketball coaching staff to resign ASAP and temporarily withdraw from UAAP participation to cool the situation,” said Ramirez, who headed the PSC during two separate terms—from 2005 to 2009 and from 2016 to 2022.

The former head coach of the Ateneo de Davao men’s basketball team described the incident, which claimed the lives of Rene Baterbonia and Nigerian student-athlete Divine Adili, as a “tragedy that is sad for tertiary sports.”
