Divine Adili's father Elias set to fly to Philippines

Elias Adili, the father of late Ateneo student-athlete Chukwuemeka Divine Adili, is set to fly to the Philippines as investigations continue into the deaths of his son and teammate Rene Baterbonia during a team-building activity.

The 60-year-old Elias confirmed the development to GMA News Online, but shared that there is no final arrival date yet.

Elias will arrive in the Philippines more than a week after Divine and Baterbornia died in a drowning tragedy in Dipaculao, Aurora last Monday, when the Blue Eagles set up a training camp there alongside several team members and coaches.

In an update Tuesday afternoon, Ateneo said that Divine's body will be moved to the Arlington Memorial Chapels in Quezon City, where a wake will be held before his repatriation to Nigeria.

Meanwhile, Baterbonia's remains recently reached his hometown in Talacogon, Agusan del Sur.
