Mabigat ang paratang ang estranged wife ni Tab Baldwin na si Efthymia “Efi” Kalogirou-Baldwin.

Aniya, nagbigay siya ng warning sa Ateneo de Manila University (ADMU) na hindi dapat pagtrabahuin sa isang campus si Coach Tab dahil "children are not safe around him."

Pero pinabulaanan ito ni ADMU President Fr. Roberto Yap, SJ, sa press conference na naganap ngayong Lunes, Hunyo 15, 2026.

Pahayag niya: “An initial review of university records shows absolutely no complaints, warnings, or communications regarding student safety in this matter. Nor was there anyone asked to be silent about this."

EFI BALDWIN'S ALLEGATIONS

And video ni Efi ay ay inilabas ng kanyang Auckland-based legal representative na si Tudor Lee sa X noong Sabado, Hunyo 13.

Kasunod ito ng pagkamatay ng Ateneo Blue Eagles players na sina Rene Baterbonia at Divine Adili, na nalunod sa Dipaculao, Aurora, noong Hunyo 8, 2026.

Ibinulgar niya ritong hindi pinakinggan ng "Ateneo University" ang kanyang paulit-ulit na panawagan.

“Hello, my name is Efi...I’ve been married to Tab Baldwin since 2011. I am officially still married to him.

“However, in early 2020, I had to flee away from Tab for the sake of myself and my kids, to keep us safe.

"This video is because of his latest interview. When he talks about his family, I want to make sure that he doesn’t represent me or my kids.

"At the time, I repeatedly told the Ateneo University that children are not safe around him and it was their duty to remove him. I urged them to move him away from the campus, the university campus.

"And they proceeded to launch a campaign of intimidation and silencing."

Hindi siya nagdetalye kung sino exactly ang nakausap niya.

Sa kanyang pagpapatuloy, in-address niya ang mga magulang nina Rene at Divine.

“Rovelyn and Elias, the death of your kids were not only predictable but preventable.

“The bodies of your kids are still warm and he’s talking about moving on. That’s terrible.

"Please [don’t] believe him.

"I urge the Filipinos and the police there to keep asking why he was still allowed around children in spite of these warnings,” ang kabuuan ng mensahe ni Efi.

ATENEO DE MANILA'S RESPONSE

Samantala, binanggit din ni Fr. Yap ang nagkalat na fake news.

“We would also like to address the increasing distortion of facts circulating in public regarding Ateneo’s alleged prior knowledge of safety risks and accusations of institutional intimidation."

Giit naman ni Fr. RB Hizon, SJ, director ng ADMU’s alumni affairs, wala raw talaga silang alam tungkol sa claims ni Efi.

“We really have no direct information on this so far; in fact, there was never any, as far as we know."

Pero isasama raw ito sa scope of work ng independent fact-finding body na nag-iimbestiga sa mga nangyari.

Meron din siyang ni-reshare na unverified audio recording mula sa X account ni Tudor Lee.

Naka-tag sa kanyang post si Epok Quimpo, ang team manager ng Blue Eagles.

Base sa pag-uusap ng dalawang tao sa audio, sinasabihan ng babae ang lalake na "dangerous to kids" si Tab.

Wala pang sagot sina Coach Tab at Quimpo sa mga alegasyon nina Efi at Giota.

Nagpadala ng mensahe ang PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) sa locked Facebook page ni Quimpo. Naka-private rin ang Instagram account niya.

Hindi mahanap si Coach Tab sa social media, pero bukas ang website na ito sa kanyang pahayag tungkol sa mga alegasyon ng kanyang estranged wife at stepdaughter.

Ang latest news about him: Nag-resign siya bilang coach.

Ang tanging statement na inilabas niya ay naka-upload sa Facebook account ng Ateneo de Manila University. Inilabas ito noong June 12, 2026.

Bahagi ng kanyang sinabi sa video na may habang eight minutes and thirty-nine seconds: "As a coach, we are entrusted with the growth of our basketball players, the development of these young men into future professionals.

"But mostly, as a coach, I'm entrusted by you, the parents and the families, with first and foremost their well-being.

"And in this, I feel I've failed. And I'm sorry. To the depth of my being, I'm sorry."
