TAB Baldwin's estranged wife is putting Ateneo on blast for continuing to employ the coach - one whom she described as 'a danger to children.'
On Saturday, Efi Baldwin shared a piece of her mind in a video posted by Tudor Clee - a New Zealand-based barrister, also known as lawyer, representing her - on the tragedy that cost the lives of Blue Eagles Rene Baterbonia and Divine Adili.
"I want to make it clear that he does not represent me or my children," she said, detailing that she had already warned the University of the hazards of employing the American-Kiwi coach.
"In early 2020, I had to leave him for my safety and the safety of my children."
Sources indicate that this was around the time when the Baldwins filed for divorce, prompting Efi to go back to Greece.
"At the time, I repeatedly informed Ateneo de Manila University that children were not safe around him. And I urged the university to take action and remove him from the campus," she said.
Call to action for Ateneo
Though Efi did not elaborate further, she called on the public to pressure relevant authorities in demanding accountability in the fallout of this tragedy.
"I am urging Filipinos, as well as the authorities, to continue asking why he was still allowed around children despite these warnings," she said.
At the same time, she commisserated with the Baterbonia and Adili families, stating that "the deaths of your children were not only unpredictable, but preventable."
"Their bodies are still warm, and yet he is speaking about moving on. That is unacceptable," she said.
