The Ateneo de Manila University (Filipino: Pamantasang Ateneo de Manila) is a private research university in Quezon City, Philippines. Founded in 1859 by the Society of Jesus, the Ateneo is the third-oldest university in the Philippines.
Ateneo offers elementary and secondary education exclusively to male students. The undergraduate and graduate programs are coeducational and organized into four schools, collectively known as the Loyola Schools, which are located at its main campus at Loyola Heights, with four satellite professional schools in different parts of Metro Manila.
Ateneo undergraduates follow a Catholic-rooted liberal arts curriculum throughout the duration of their respective degree programs in the humanities, social sciences, science and engineering, or business management. The Commission on Higher Education has recognized the research units in physics, chemistry, mathematics, information technology, entrepreneurship education, and business administration as Centers of Excellence while the biology and environmental science units are declared Centers of Development.
The Loyola Heights campus also hosts two chemistry research centers: Philippine Institute of Pure and Applied Chemistry (PIPAC) and National Chemistry Instrumentation Center (NCIC).

First century[edit]
Founding[edit]
Ateneo de Manila University finds its roots in the Society of Jesus as a teaching order in the Philippines. Through an 1852 Royal Decree from Queen Isabella II, ten Spanish Jesuits arrived in Manila on 14 April 1859, nearly a century after the Jesuits had left the Philippines. These missionaries came mainly to do missionary work in Mindanao and Jolo.[1][2][3][4] Because of the Jesuits' previous reputation as educators among Manila’s leaders, on August 5 the Ayuntamiento or city council requested the Governor-General to found and finance a Jesuit school using public funds.[1][2][3][4] On 1 October 1859, the Governor-General authorized the Jesuits to take over the Escuela Municipal de Manila, a small private school maintained for some 30 children of Spanish residents. Ten Spanish Jesuit priests and a Jesuit brother took charge of the school on 10 December 1859. The Ateneo de Manila University considers this as its foundation day.[1][2][3][4]
Escuela to Ateneo, municipal[edit]
Partly subsidized by the Ayuntamiento, the Escuela was the only primary school in Manila in 1859.[1][2][3][4] In 1865 when it became accredited as a secondary school its name was changed to Ateneo Municipal de Manila. It began by offering the bachillerato or bachelor's degree, as well as courses leading to certificates in agriculture, surveying, and business. José Rizal, later named National Hero of the Philippines, enrolled for his secondary studies in 1872 and graduated in 1877 with a Bachelor of Arts degree. He continued his studies at the Ateneo for a license in land surveying.[1][2][3][4]
Ateneo de Manila, private[edit]
When Americans occupied the Philippines in the early 1900s (decade), the Ateneo de Manila lost its subsidy from the city and became a private institution. The Jesuits removed the word "Municipal" from the school’s name and it became simply Ateneo de Manila.[1][3][4] In 1908, the American colonial government recognized the Ateneo de Manila's college status and licensed its bachelor's degree and certificates in various disciplines, including electrical engineering. The Ateneo campus housed other Jesuit institutions of research and learning such as the Manila Observatory and the San Jose Major Seminary.[1][2][3][4]
From Spanish to U.S. Jesuits; World War II[edit]
American Jesuits replaced the Spaniards in 1921. When fire destroyed the Intramuros campus in 1932, Fr. Richard O’Brien led the relocation to the grounds of San Jose Major Seminary in Padre Faura St., Ermita.[citation needed] After the destruction of World War II only the statue of St. Joseph and the Child Jesus remained standing; it is now in front of the Jesuit Residence at the Loyola Heights campus. Salvaged ironwork and statues from the ruins have since been incorporated into Ateneo buildings such as the Ateneo monograms on the gates of the Loyola Heights campus, the iron grillwork on the ground floor of Xavier Hall, and the statue of the Immaculate Conception at the University Archives. After the war the Ateneo reopened temporarily in Plaza Guipit in Sampaloc, Manila. The Padre Faura campus reopened in 1946 in Quonset huts among the campus ruins. Heritage Bells, from 1832 (the bigger) and 1892, had marked class times at Padre Faura, and became a memorial on the Ateneo campus (at right). [5][6]
Loyola Heights campus; university[edit]
In 1952, Fr. William F. Masterson, S.J., moved most of the Ateneo units to the present Loyola Heights campus, which was donated by the Tuason family patriarch Jose Ramon for educational purposes.[citation needed] The Padre Faura campus continued to house the professional schools until 1976. Fr. Francisco Araneta, S.J., was appointed as the Ateneo de Manila's first Filipino Rector in 1958.[1] In 1959, its centennial year, the Ateneo became a university.[7]
Modern era[edit]
Filipinisation in 1960s[edit]
The following decades saw escalating turbulence engulf the university as an active movement for Filipinisation and a growing awareness of the vast gulf between rich and poor griped the nation. Throughout the 1960s, Ateneans pushed for an Ateneo which was more conversant with the Filipino situation and rooted more deeply in Filipino values. They pushed for the use of Filipino for instruction and for reforms that addressed the growing gap between rich and poor. In 1965 Fr. Horacio de la Costa became the first Filipino Provincial Superior of the Philippine Province of Jesuits.[8] On 25 September 1969, Pacifico Ortiz, S.J., was installed as the first Filipino President of the Ateneo de Manila.[9] At this time the Graduate School split into the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences and the Graduate School of Economics and Business Administration (which eventually became the Graduate School of Business).[7] In 1968 the Ateneo co-founded the Asian Institute of Management.[10]
Student Activism: 1971-1986[edit]
As student activism rose in the 1970s, Ateneans took an active role along with student organisations from other colleges and universities.[7][11] Students faced university expulsion and violent government dispersal as they protested the dismissal of dissenting faculty and students, oppressive laws and price hikes, human rights violations, and other injustices. On 21 September 1972, Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos declared martial law. The university administration had great difficulty reconciling the promotion of social justice and keeping the university intact. They locked down on the more overt expressions of activism—violence and miltancy—and strove to maintain a semblance of normalcy as they sought to keep the military from being stationed on campus.[7][11] In 1973, Jesuit Superior General Fr. Pedro Arrupe called for Jesuit schools to educate for justice and to form "men and women for others."[12]
The Ateneo college opened its doors to its first female students in 1973. The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences moved to Loyola Heights in 1976, and the Padre Faura campus finally closed in 1977 as the Graduate School of Business and the Law School moved to H.V. de la Costa St. in Salcedo Village, Makati. In February 1978, the Ateneo opened the Ateneo-Univac Computer Technology Center, one of the country’s pioneering computer centres. This later became the Ateneo Computer Technology Center. The Ateneo also joined the University Athletic Association of the Philippines.[citation needed]
On 21 August 1983, Ateneo alumnus Senator Benigno Aquino, Jr. was assassinated upon his return from exile in the United States. Ateneans continued to work with sectors such as the poor, non-government organizations, and some activist groups in the dying years of the martial law era.[7] On 11 February 1986, alumnus and Antique Governor Evelio Javier was gunned down. Two weeks later, Ateneans joined thousands of Filipinos from all walks of life in the peaceful uprising at EDSA which ousted Ferdinand Marcos.[7]
1987 to 2005[edit]
In 1991, Ateneo joined relief operations for victims of the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo. In 1991 the School of Law phased out its Bachelor of Laws degree and became the first Philippine law school to confer the Juris Doctor degree.[7] In 1996 the Ateneo relaunched the Ateneo Computer Technology Center as the Ateneo Information Technology Institute: since 1994 Ateneo pioneered internet connectivity among Philippine schools.[13]
The Ateneo School of Government was established in 1996 and in 1998 Ateneo’s Rockwell campus, which would house the Ateneo Graduate School of Business, Ateneo Law School, and Ateneo School of Government, was completed in Rockwell Center in Bel-Air, Makati. Also the Science Education Complex was completed in the Loyola Heights campus.[7]
In 2000, the School of Arts and Sciences which included the College and the Graduate School was restructured into four Loyola Schools: the School of Humanities, the John Gokongwei School of Management, the School of Science and Engineering, and the School of Social Sciences. The Moro Lorenzo Sports Complex was completed in the Loyola Heights campus. In mid-2000 high school alumnus and Philippine President Joseph Estrada faced grave corruption charges connected with economic plunder and jueteng, an illegal numbers game. The university hosted KOMPIL II and other organizations and movements in its Loyola Heights and Makati campuses. Members of the university community participated in the Jericho March at the Senate and other mass actions.[7] In 2001, Ateneo Master of Arts alumna and former Economics faculty member Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo was sworn in as the 14th President of the Philippines, overthrowing Estrada after top military officers withdrew support from him as commander in chief.
In April 2002, the office of the university president established Pathways to Higher Education-Philippines, one of the university's outreach initiatives, with the help of the Ford and Synergeia Foundations. On 31 July, the feast of St. Ignatius, the university Church of the Gesù was completed in the Loyola Heights campus and was consecrated by Cardinal Jaime Sin. The year also saw the Blue Eagles end a 14-year drought in men's basketball.[14]
In 2003, the Ateneo entered into its partnership with Gawad Kalinga, its first formal, university-wide social action programme. In response to the typhoons and flooding that devastated most of the Philippine Island of Luzon. In November 2004, the Ateneo launched Task Force Noah, its disaster response initiative, which has continued to contribute to disaster relief and rehabilitation efforts in areas that include Calatagan in Mindoro and Guinsaugon in Southern Leyte.
In 2005 the Ateneo earned the highest possible accreditation status, Level IV, the second Philippine university to earn this, from the Federation of Accrediting Agencies of the Philippines and the Philippine Accrediting Association of Schools, Colleges and Universities (PAASCU).[7][15] That same year, the Ateneo de Manila celebrated its 145th anniversary, also the 145th anniversary of the return of Jesuit education in the Philippines. It launched the countdown to its sesquicentennial in 2009. As typhoon relief efforts wound down in January 2005, Ateneo, Gawad Kalinga and other partners launched Kalinga Luzon (KL), a programmeme dedicated to the long-term rehabilitation of typhoon-stricken communities in Luzon.[16] Allegations of President Arroyo's cheating in the 2004 presidential elections sparked the formation of social involvement workshops.[17] In 2005 the Ateneo established more tie-ups and foreign linkages, and prepared for the launching of its Leong Center for Chinese Studies.[18]
2006 to 2015[edit]
In early 2006, the Ateneo and its affiliates joined a call for action on the political issues that bedevil Filipino society.[19] The Ateneo also launched with its GK partners Kalinga Leyte, a programme for the long-term rehabilitation of Southern Leyte. It increased its involvement with Gawad Kalinga and furthered GK initiatives throughout Nueva Ecija and in Cotobato and Quezon.[20] Midway through 2006, the Manuel V Pangilinan Centre for Student Leadership was completed.[21] Ground-breaking took place for Ricardo Leong Hall, which houses several units of the Loyola Schools' School of Social Sciences and the Confucius Institute for Chinese Studies,[22][23] as well as for the Ateneo School of Medicine and Public Health facility in Ortigas which welcomed its first batch of professional students in June 2007. In December, the Ateneo also launched AGAP-Bikol in cooperation with other Jesuit-affiliated and civil society groups, in response to the devastation wrought by typhoons in the Bicol area.[24] On 5 December 2007, University President Fr. Bienvenido Nebres, S.J., launched Frontline Leadership, a book project of the Ateneo School of Government (sponsored by German foundation Konrad Adenauer Stiftung), which narrates the performances of four former local officials, an unnamed female governor in the Visayas and one incumbent: Naga Mayor and Ramon Magsaysay awardee Jesse Robredo, former San Fernando, La Union Mayor Mary Jane Ortega, former Bulacan Gov. Josie de la Cruz, and former Surigao del Norte Gov. Robert Lyndon Barbers.[25]
In October 2008, 66 faculty members from different departments, including members of the Theology Department, challenged the position of the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) on the Reproductive Health Bill pending before the Philippine Congress, and declared that Catholics can support the RH bill in good conscience.[26][27] University President Fr. Bienvenido Nebres, S.J., explained that their position was not the position of the university, but stressed that these faculty members had a right to express their views as individual Catholics and that there should be continuing efforts on the critical study and discussion of the bill among Church groups including the university and in civil society.[28][29][30]
In November 2008, the university began work on building a new Rizal Library facility.[31] In December, the a new set of university dormitories was inaugurated.[32] The Ateneo High School was granted Level III accreditation by the PAASCU, the highest level in the country.[33]
In September and October 2009, students from the university organised Task Force Ondoy in response to Typhoon Ketsana. The task force conducted relief operations in various areas struck hard by the typhoon, particularly in Marikina City.
In May 2011, the university was granted Level IV Re-Accredited Status and Institutional Accreditation by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) through the Federation of Accrediting Agencies of the Philippines (FAAP) and the Philippine Accrediting Association of Schools, Colleges and Universities (PAASCU), the first time that both citations were awarded to a university simultaneously.[34] In 2011 Fr. Bienvenido Nebres, S.J., retired from the presidency of Ateneo and was succeeded by Fr. Jose Ramon T. Villarin, S.J. On 25 November 2011, the Philippine Accrediting Association of Schools, Colleges and Universities (PAASCU) awarded the Ateneo de Manila Loyola Schools Level IV Re-accreditation for 21 academic programmemes as well as Institutional Accreditation.[35]

Social initiatives[edit]
The Ateneo has grounded its vision and mission in the Jesuit educational tradition which engages with the world at large, leading the university to be involved in civic activities. Social involvement is a key part of Ateneo education, integrated into the curricula of practically all university programmes.[16] Social entrepreneurship is also integrated into many of its academic programmes.[57]
The Ateneo's social projects include the Ateneo-Mangyan Project for Understanding and Development (AMPUD) and Bigay Puso in grade school and the Christian Service and Involvement Program, Damay Immersion, and Tulong Dunong programme for senior students in high school. In college, social development is fostered by programmes of the Office of Social Concern and Involvement, including house-builds with Gawad Kalinga, and the Ateneo Labor Trials Program tied into junior Philosophy classes. Student organizations and offices of the Loyola Schools also operate their own social involvement programmes.[16][20] At the Ateneo Professional Schools, programmes and units like the Graduate School of Business' Mulat-Diwa, the Leaders for Health Program, the Law School's Human Rights Center and Legal Aid programmes aim to form leaders.[16][20] Other Ateneo initiatives include Pathways to Higher Education for gifted, underprivileged youth and the Ateneo Center for Educational Development (ACED) which conducts national teacher and principal training programmes.
The centrepiece social programme of the university is its university-wide social action programme in partnership with Gawad Kalinga which has helped build communities and schools in Payatas, Quezon City, in many Nueva Ecija municipalities, and in three villages in Bicol. GK-Ateneo has also driven Kalinga Luzon, the massive rehabilitation effort for victims of the late 2004 Luzon typhoons, GK Youth-Ateneo, arguably the largest and most active student social programme of the Ateneo, Kalinga Leyte, an ongoing programme which aims to provide long-term rehabilitation for the victims of the Southern Leyte landslide, and ongoing reconstruction efforts for typhoon-stricken Bicol.[16][20][58]
International exchange[edit]
The Ateneo has international linkages with several universities, institutions, and organizations, particularly in Asia, Australasia, North and South America, and Europe. Through these cooperative efforts, the university hosts visiting faculty and research fellows from institutions abroad, and in turn, Ateneo faculty members also engage in teaching, research, and study in institutions abroad.[59][60] International cooperation also includes active student exchange through Philippine immersion programmes for a month or two for small groups of 15-18 students or full study programmes wherein students from partner institutions abroad take regular courses.[59]
Students of the John Gokongwei School of Management, the School of Social Sciences, the School of Science and Engineering and the School of Humanities can also sign up for the Junior Term Abroad programme, which allows them to spend a semester in one of the Ateneo's partner schools for undergraduate studies.[59]
Since 2008, the Global Leadership Program was started for students from four Catholic, Jesuit universities in East Asia: Ateneo de Manila University in The Philippines, Fu Jen Catholic University in Taiwan, Sogang University in South Korea, and Sophia University in Japan.[61]
Campuses[edit]
Currently, the main campus of the Ateneo is an 83-hectare (210-acre) property in Loyola Heights, Quezon City, Metro Manila. This campus is home to the university's college and graduate school units, as well as its high school and grade school and junior high. Two other campuses, in Rockwell Center and Salcedo Village, both in Makati, house the university's professional schools of business, law, and government. A fourth facility in the Don Eugenio López Sr. Medical Complex in Ortigas Center, Pasig, houses its school of medicine and public health.
Loyola Heights campus[edit]
Overlooking the Marikina Valley, the 83-hectare main campus is located in Loyola Heights, along the eastern side of Katipunan Avenue, and is south of and adjacent to the campus of Miriam College. The Grade School, High School, and Loyola Schools are located in the Ateneo's Loyola Heights campus. Beside the Grade School is the Henry Lee Irwin Theater, built in 1995 to house the school's formal events and productions. Complementing the old buildings of the Loyola Schools are the Science Education Complex, as well as the PLDT Convergent Technologies Center-John Gokongwei School of Management Complex.[62]
Within this campus is the Rizal Library, the main university library. Also located here are numerous units and research centres affiliated with the Ateneo, such as the Institute of Social Order, Institute of Philippine Culture, Institute on Church and Social Issues, Asian Public Intellectuals Fellowships, the Philippine Institute for Pure and Applied Chemistry, the Jesuit Communications Foundation, the Jesuit Basic Education Commission, and others. Also situated here are the East Asian Pastoral Institute, Loyola School of Theology, and San Jose Seminary, all Jesuit formation institutions federated with the Ateneo de Manila University. The Manila Observatory is also located on campus.[62] Athletic facilities include the Blue Eagle Gym, also known as the Loyola Center, standing at the southern end of the campus, and the Moro Lorenzo Sports Center (MLSC) on the northern end. The Blue Eagle Gym is one of the largest gymnasiums among the universities in Metro Manila while the MLSC is often used by the Philippine National Basketball Team as well as other professional teams for their training needs.[62]
The Church of the Gesù, completed in July 2002, stands on top of Sacred Heart Hill and overlooks the rest of the campus. The school's chapels include the St. Stanislaus Kostka Chapel and the Chapel of the First Companions in the high school, the Chapel of the Immaculate Conception in the college complex's Gonzaga Hall, the chapel at the Loyola House of Studies, and the Chapel of the Holy Guardian Angels in the grade school, among others. Not a part of the university but located on its campus is San Jose Major Seminary also has a chapel. Moreover, within walking distance of the campus are two parish churches: Our Lady of Pentecost and Santa María della Strada which includes the university in its territory.[62]
While the majority of its students live in Metro Manila, the university has three on-campus dormitories for college students: Cervini Hall, Eliazo Hall, and the University Dormitory. Located near the Loyola Schools, Cervini accommodates approximately two hundred male students, while Eliazo houses one hundred and sixty female students. The University Dormitory, completed in 2008, houses six hundred students. Other dormitories which are also open to college and graduate school students are those of the [Institute of Social Order], Arrupe International Residence, and the East Asian Pastoral Institute.[62] Those who desire to live off-campus reside in nearby accredited dormitories and condominiums such as Oracle Residences, FBR Building, Xanland Plaza, One Burgundy Plaza, Prince David Condominium, and Berkeley Residences, sharing study and living areas with students from the University of the Philippines, Diliman and Miriam College.
The Ateneo de Manila is also home to the largest Jesuit community in the Philippines, most of whom reside at the Jesuit Residence in the Loyola Heights campus. These Jesuits are involved in teaching, administration, and research within the university and its affiliated units.[62]
Recently, the majority of the units in the Loyola Schools Campus have been participating in the environmental initiatives started at the student organization and administrative levels. These have been grouped under the banner of the Ateneo Environmental Management Coalition, resulting in major changes in student lifestyle and resource management all over campus.
Rockwell Center campus[edit]
The Rockwell Center campus of the Ateneo de Manila University houses the Law School, Graduate School of Business, School of Government, AGSB-BAP Institute of Banking, and the Ateneo Center for Continuing Education.[62] The campus was donated by the Lopez Group of Companies to the Ateneo de Manila University. It includes several research centres, a moot court facility, and the Ateneo Professional Schools Library.[62]
Salcedo Village campus[edit]
The Salcedo Village campus houses the different facilities of the former Ateneo Information Technology Institute (AITI) and the Ateneo Center for Continuing Education (CCE). This facility formerly housed the Professional Schools prior to the completion of the Rockwell campus in 1998.[62]
Ortigas Center campus[edit]
The Ateneo School of Medicine and Public Health at the Don Eugenio López Sr. Medical Complex in Ortigas Center, Pasig, opened its doors to its pioneering batch of students in June 2007. Beside the ASMPH is its partner hospital, The Medical City.[62]
Library system[edit]
The Ateneo library system comprises several libraries housed in the Loyola Heights campus and the Professional Schools campus. The university's main library is the Rizal Library located in Loyola Heights. The Ateneo Professional Schools Library is housed in the Professional Schools building. Also included in the library system are the libraries of the Ateneo grade school, high shool, and those of the East Asian Pastoral Institute and the Loyola School of Theology.[63] Libraries of other Jesuit universities in Naga, Zamboanga, Davao, and Cagayan de Oro are linked to the Ateneo de Manila Libraries.
In 2007, the Rizal Library's resources were estimated at more than 500,000 items. It housed rare Filipiniana items including a permanent exhibit of Rizal memorabilia, the Trinidad Pardo de Tavera collection, the American Historical Collection, the Ateneo Library of Women's Writings (ALIWW), and other special collections and manuscripts by Filipino scholars, writers, and artists.[62] A new five-storey Rizal Library building was completed in 2009 and opened in November of the same year, housing the library's circulation section, the undergraduate and graduate reserve sections, the multimedia collection, the periodicals collection, the Japanese collection, online database access terminals, an information commons, and the Library's technical services facilities. The former Rizal Library building will now be known as the Rizal Library Special Collection, and houses the Microform Reading Center, Art Book Collection, Filipiniana Section, American Historical Collection, the Ateneo Library of Women's Writings, the Pardo de Tavera Collection, and the Theses and Dissertations collection.[64]
The Professional Schools Library holds one of the largest collections of materials in the fields of law, business, and government in the Philippines.[62]
Ateneo Art Gallery[edit]
The Ateneo Art Gallery is housed in the Rizal Library's Special Collections Building. The gallery is the first museum of modern art in the Philippines, and is the only museum in the country dedicated to the collection, display, and interpretation of Philippine modern art. The heart of its collection is a large selection of post-war art donated to the university by Fernando Zóbel de Ayala.[62]
University Archives[edit]
The University Archives are housed in the Rizal Library annex building. Since 1958 it has served as the central repository of non-current records of the administrative offices, academic departments, and student organizations. Among its collections are papers and documents from key university people, relics and personal effects of alumni, some archived publications, theses, and dissertations, as well as other materials such as maps, photographs, and art work.[65]
University traditions[edit]
The name Ateneo goes back to the Greek temple dedicated to Athena, the goddess of wisdom. The closest English translation is academy.
The university's patron saint is Ignatius of Loyola, while María Puríssima is its patroness celebrated in Ateneo's pontifical name "University of the Immaculate Conception" and in the blue and white school colours. The patron saint of its law school is Thomas More, the high school has Stanislaus Kostka as its patron, and the grade school the Holy Guardian Angels as its patrons.
The Ateneo's motto is Lux in Domino, meaning "Light in the Lord". This is not the school's original motto. The Escuela Municipal's 1859 motto was Al merito y a la virtud: "In Merit and in Virtue". This motto persisted through the school's renaming in 1865 and in 1901.[66] The motto Lux in Domino first appeared as part of the Ateneo seal introduced by Father Rector Joaquin Añon, S.J., for the 1909 Golden Jubilee. It comes from the letter of Paul to the Ephesians, 5.8: "For you were once in darkness, now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light, for light produces every kind of goodness, righteousness, and truth."[66] The Lux in Domino Award is given to extraordinary individuals who incarnated the noblest ideals of the Ateneo de Manila University.[67]
Seal[edit]
In 1859, the Escuela Municipal carried the coat of arms of the city of Manila, granted by King Philip II of Spain. By 1865, along with the change of name, the school's seal included the Jesuit monogram "IHS" and some Marian symbols.[note 1] A revision was introduced in the school's golden jubilee 1909 with clearer Marian symbols and the current motto, Lux in Domino. In 1929 for Ateneo’s diamond jubilee Fr. Rector Richard O’Brien, S.J., introduced a current seal.[1][3] It replaces the arms of Manila with Jesuit and Ignatian symbols.[note 2][68] White and blue, the Ateneo’s colours, are the colours of Mary. Red and gold are the colours of Spain, home of Ignatius and of Ateneo’s Jesuit founders. Finally, these four colours mirror the Philippine flag, marking the Ateneo’s identity as a Filipino university.[69]
Marian devotion[edit]
Ateneans value symbols of devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary, María Puríssima, patroness of the Ateneo. Among them are the rosary in the pocket, the "October Medal" (the Miraculous Medal of the Immaculate Conception with a blue ribbon), and the graduation hymn, "A Song for Mary." December 8, the Solemn Feast of the Immaculate Conception, is always a school holiday; liturgical celebrations surround the holiday. The Ateneo has adopted blue and white, the colours of its patron Mary, as its official school colours.[note 3][70][71]
The older school anthem was "Hail Ateneo, Hail", a marching tune. When the Ateneo moved from Padre Faura to Loyola Heights in the 1950s, the school adopted a new graduation hymn, "A Song for Mary". Fr. James B. Reuter, S.J., wrote the lyrics and Ateneo band moderator Colonel Jose Campaña adapted the melody from Calixa Lavallée's patriotic hymn "O Canada", composed in 1880 and Canada's national anthem since 1980.[72]
Athletics[edit]
The Ateneo de Manila University is a member of the University Athletic Association of the Philippines, where it fields teams in all events. It was a founding member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association in the 1920s. The Ateneo left the NCAA in 1978 due to the league-wide violence prevalent at the time, and then joined the UAAP that same year.[1][7] In 1987, nine years after Ateneo joining the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP), it won its first UAAP basketball crown, and repeated the following year.[7] The years 2008-2010 saw the university's basketball teams win three consecutive championships in both UAAP men's and junior's basketball, the only double three-peat in UAAP and NCAA combined history. The university's men's basketball team also copped several national titles, including 2 Philippine Collegiate Championship titles in 2009 and 2010, and two University Games titles in 2008 and 2009.
Aside from the UAAP, the Ateneo also participates in the Father Martin Cup, Filoil Flying V Preseason Cup, Philippine University Games (Unigames), Philippine Collegiate Championship League (PCCL), and the Shakey's V-League. Different university units also field teams in leagues such as Rizal Football Association (RIFA), Philippine Athletic Youth Association (PAYA), Private Schools Athletic Development Association (PRADA) and BEST Small Basketeers Program (SBP), the Inter-MBA Friendship Games and inter-university golf tournaments. The Ateneo also fields sports teams at the Jesuit Invitational Games (JIGs), an athletic tournament among eight Jesuit schools in the Philippines.
Mascot: The Blue Eagle[edit]
Prior to the 1930s, Ateneo had no mascot. Meanwhile, Catholic Schools in the United States, particularly those named after saints, were distressed by the cheekiness with which they were mentioned in newspapers' sports pages. Headlines read "St. Michael’s Wallops St. Augustine’s", or "St. Thomas' Scalps St. Peter’s". It was then agreed that each school adopt a mascot, a symbol for the team which sportswriters could toss about with impunity.[73] The idea caught on in the Philippines. By the 1930s, the Ateneo adopted Blue Eagle as a symbol, and had a live eagle accompany the basketball team.[73]
The choice of the colour blue is based on the Ateneo's colours. The choice of an eagle is a reference to the "high-flying" varsity teams which would "sweep the fields away" as a dominating force. Furthermore, there was some mythological— even political—significance to the choice of the eagle as a symbol of power.[73]
Cheering tradition[edit]
The Ateneo de Manila was successful in athletics even before the NCAA began. To help cheer the Ateneo squad on, the Jesuits decided that the Ateneo ought to have some sort of organization in its cheering. The Ateneo then introduced organized cheering to the country by fielding the first-ever cheering squad in the Philippines, which is now known as the Blue Babble Battalion.[1][74][75] The Ateneo claims that its brand of cheering is both unique and rooted in classical antiquity. In the 1959 Ateneo Aegis (the college yearbook), alumnus Art Borjal explained:
| “ | It all started about 2,000 years ago along the Via Appia in Rome. The deafening cheers of Roman citizens, lined along the way, thundered in the sky as the returning victorious warriors passed by. ... The type of cheering that the Ateneo introduced was, in a way, quite different from that of the Romans. When the warriors came home in defeat, the citizens shouted in derision and screamed for the soldiers’ blood. To the Atenean, victory and defeat do not matter much. To cheer for a losing team that had fought fairly and well is as noble, if not nobler, than cheering for a victorious squad.[3][75] | ” |
The words of some of the cheers seem incomprehensible or derived from an exotic language. Loud, rapid yells of "fabilioh" and "halikinu" are used to intimidate and confuse the enemy gallery.[75] Meanwhile, fighting songs help inspire the team to "roll up a victory".[75]
Notable alumni[edit]
Ateneo has graduated two Nobel Peace Prize nominees, two Ramon Magsaysay awardees, and José Rizal, National Hero of the Philippines. Several Philippine Presidents, including the incumbent Benigno Aquino III, as well as his predecessors Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, Joseph Estrada, Fidel Ramos, and Corazon Aquino are alumni of or have ties with the university. The Ateneo has also been associated with three Chief Justices of the Supreme Court, fifteen Senators, one National Scientist, and four National Artists of the Philippines, including Lamberto Avellana and Salvador Bernal. Among its graduates are several leaders of the propaganda movement during the Philippine Revolution against Spain, including Juan Luna, and during the Philippine–American War, as well as politicians, political activists, professionals, businessmen, writers, scientists, educators, and artists. This body of alumni was all-male until women were admitted to its graduate programmes, and later, to its college.

Notes[edit]
- ^ The letters IHS are the first three letters of "Jesus" in Greek, from the emblem of the Society of Jesus.
- ^ Besides the school motto and name, the seal has the shield of Ignatius of Loyola, Jesuit founder, with the arms of the paternal and maternal sides of his family. The seven red bands commemorate seven family heroes who fought with the Spaniards against 70,000 French, Navarese, and Gascons. The arms of Ignatius' maternal family consist of a two-eared pot hanging on a chain between two rampant wolves, which symbolize nobility. "Loyola" is a contraction of lobos y olla (wolves and pot): the family provides well enough to feed a pack of wolves. Above the shield is a Basque sunburst (Ignatius was Basque), symbolizing also the Communion host.
- ^ Marian blue is traditionally ultramarine, a deep ocean blue tincture derived from lapis lazuli, which historically has been used to colour the vestments of Mary in paintings. But since Mary is honored as Star of the Sea and Queen of Heaven, various shades of blue, such as royal blue and sky blue, are acceptable shades of Marian blue as well.
