Ateneo de Naga University

Fr. Abe, CRS in front of the Main Building of the Ateneo de Naga

Last week, June 11, 2009 Fr. Superior asked me to accompany our Varsity Players in Ateneo de Naga for an invitational game with this University's basketball team. Because it was my first time to see the university I decided to accept the request of Fr. Superior. And I'm glad that I did.

The Main Building
While waiting for the Basketball match between Aemilianum College and Ateneo de Manila varsities I decided to roam around to see the beauty and cultural richness of this institution. It looks so calm and serene. The surroundings are enriched by the presence of the images of the Jesuit saints, particularly St. Ignatius of Loyola. These photos are shown here but due to lack of knowledge of the place and short period of time I failed to interview some students or teachers that could provide me with explanations or functions of each building. So I decided to simply ennumerate the photos here.
The Tennis Court still drenched with rain water
I also visited the Chapel but I decided to separate it from here. The beautiful Chapel will be given on a separate post later.

I don't know the name of this building but the lower portion is a good restaurant whose setting and ambiance is suited for students and professors alike.

  2. Dear Ckate,

    O, it's really unfortunate that you were not able to attend our Apologetics Dialogue last time. Your schoolmates enjoyed it very much and it was fun indeed. I got the chance to meet your beloved chaplain Fr. John. Anyway, I will post about it here in this blog. Either this evening or tomorrow. Just watch for it.

    I also featured it CEU Mendiola. Look for it in University or Apologetic Apostolate.

    God bless you.
