DAVAO CITY — The covered courts of the Ateneo de Davao University (ADDU) Senior High School will be formally named as the “Rene ‘Bobet’ Baterbonia Covered Courts” in memory of the late Blue Knight who perished in a fatal drowning incident in Aurora last week.
No less than ADDU president Fr. Karel San Juan made the announcement on Sunday, saying that naming their basketball facility after the late Palarong Pambansa Most Valuable Player will immortalize him and his contributions to the institution.
The ADDU SHS covered court is vital to the school as it hosts activities such as graduations, masses and the annual Ateneo-lympics. It was also where Baterbonia and his teammates initiated their basketball practices in preparation for local and regional competitions.
Earlier, San Juan also granted full scholarships for Baterbonia brothers as support to the family.
