Sa mga naunang report tungkol sa shooting incident na naganap ngayong araw, July 24, 2022, sa Ateneo de Manila University sa Quezon City, binanggit na isa sa mga casualty ay isang security guard.
Siya ay si Jeneven Bandiala, na nagbuwis ng buhay upang protektahan ang mga tao laban sa pamamaril ng doktor na si Chao Tiao Yumul.
Para sa mga personal na nakakakilala at mga estudyante na nakakasalamuha ni Bandiala, karapat-dapat na malaman ng lahat ang pangalan ng biktima na isang tunay na bayani at hindi lamang basta guwardiya ng paaralan na kanyang pinaglilingkuran.
Isang Facebook post sa account na Jhei Shiee ang nagbigay-pugay sa kabayanihan ni Bandiala.
Nakasaad dito: "Hindi lang siya isang security guard sa Ateneo. Tao siya…may pangalan siya. He deserves to be named and recognized.
"He did beyond what he was supposed to do and I will not settle for him to be simply named as a 'security guard' in Ateneo."
Tatlong oras after ma-upload ang post, naka-generate ito ng 43,000 reactions, 15,000 shares, at 730 comments—na karamihan ay nakikiramay sa mga naulila ni Bandiala, na tinatawag din nilang Kuya Jeneven.
May isa namang nagmungkahi na mag-start ng fund-raising para sa pamilya ng biktima.
Sina Bandiala, former Lamitan City Mayor Rose Furigay, at ang executive assistant nito na si Victor Capistrano ang mga nasawi sa pamamaril ni Chao Tiao Yumul.
Nasugatan naman si Hannah Rose, ang 25-year-old daughter ni Furigay na dadalo sana sa Law School graduation ceremony, na kinansela dahil sa malagim na trahedya.
Personal na galit sa dating alkalde ng Lamitan City ang motibo raw ng pamamaril ng suspek na nasa kustodiya na ngayon ng Quezon City Police District sa Camp Karingal.
