MANILA, Philippines — The remains of Davao’s hero, Rene Clert “Bobet” Baterbonia, 18, will finally be laid to rest in his hometown of Talacogan, Agusan del Sur, on Monday, June 15.
Baterbonia tragically drowned last Monday in Dipaculao, Aurora, along with Nigerian import Divine Adili, 21.
“We will be sending off Bobet’s remains from Ateneo de Davao University at 8 a.m. The convoy will then proceed to St. Peter Panabo, where it will stay for a few hours for final preparations,” said Jess Linus Evangelio, Baterbonia’s coach at Ateneo de Davao, in a social media post.
“Departure from St. Peter Panabo is expected at around 1 p.m. as we continue the journey to Talacogan, Agusan del Sur.”
Baterbonia’s mom, Rovelyn, shared that his remains will be laid to rest in Agusan del Sur.
Baterbonia’s wake was held from June 10 to 11 at the Arlington Memorial Chapel in Quezon City. His remains were flown to Davao on June 12 and brought to the Christ the King Chapel at the Senior High School.
