Elias Adili still found strength to encourage his son’s teammates to keep chasing their dreams despite the tragic incident they had all experienced in Ateneo’s team-building activity in Dipaculao, Aurora.

“My message to Ateneo, they should not relent in what they intend to do. And to the teammates, they should continue to play,” said Elias during an online interview with GMA’s Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho (KMJS).

“I’m a fan of [the] Ateneo Blue Eagles. I am a fan because of Divine, I have the opportunity of seeing their members, their team. They play with one spirit. So I’m encouraging the teammates not to relent in their struggle, and I will be happy if they do,” he added.

The grieving father admitted the family is still devastated by the death of their son.

“I wasn’t myself. My wife and I were crying all day,” Elias stressed. “And we don’t have anybody with us, so we are in a very bad situation… In a very bad situation.”
