PORTALJABAR, BANDUNG CITY - The euphoria of Persib Bandung's victory was not only felt on the streets of Bandung, but also lived on in the passionate stories of the bobotoh (fans). One such story came from Bonita Hana, a disabled bobotoh who enthusiastically followed the victory parade with her family.

Bonita admitted she had been celebrating Persib's victory since the previous night. She started her journey from the Cicadas area and then returned home to prepare before returning to the streets to experience the convoy atmosphere, which she said always evokes a distinct sense of pride.

"The euphoria is different because we are proud to have reached this point," said Bonita at the Bandung City Hall, Sunday (May 24, 2026).

Despite the streets being packed with thousands of Bobotoh (fans), Bonita's enthusiasm remained unwavering. She even wanted to show that people with disabilities could celebrate victory safely and comfortably.

According to him, the solidarity he felt among fellow Bobotoh fans on the streets was the most memorable experience. When faced with difficulties, other Persib supporters readily helped.

"If someone is in trouble, they help," he said.

Bonita's love for Persib has also been passed down to her children. One of them was even born during Persib's run to the title. Her son, born on November 1, 2024, is said to have experienced the atmosphere of victory since he was in the womb.

When Persib won the previous title, Bonita admitted she was five months pregnant and still joined the convoy in the Gasibu area. Now, she continues that tradition with her two children, Albiruni Suhendi and Maulana Sidiq.

Not only known as a loyal Bobotoh fan, Bonita is also active as a teacher and makeup artist at LPK Mitra Cipta Mandiri. Interestingly, every time Persib wins, she vows to share her knowledge with the community for free.

This year, following Persib's success in winning another title, Bonita opened five free private classes for students at her teaching school. This number has increased from last year's three.

"Because Persib won the championship for the fifth time, this year there will be five people," he said. (Bandung City Communications and Information Office/rka)
