My Time Has Come

Some of you may have wondered why I intend to run for a position in the Agriculture Student Council. I also presume that you have mixed reactions about it. Some of you think that it is odd for me to run for a student office. Some (of you) might think that I am making some kind of a joke, that I am creating a mockery out the Ateneo student political system. Some (of you) might think that I have no ability of being a leader, therefore no chance of winning the election.

Ecce homo... Father Masterson.

Father William Francis Masterson, S.J., priest, Jesuit, academic, and dean is a memorable icon in the College of Agriculture. Who knew that this former rector from Ateneo de Manila would become the first dean of Agriculture, and helped many farmers in Mindanao? I bet his students and fellow faculty would be the judge of that. And who knew that he would transform a barren wasteland of rocks and mud into what is now today as Manresa Farm. Verily, Fr. Masterson is no ordinary servant of God.

Xavier Days: Ateneo's own Mardi Gras

Ever heard of the Mardi Gras of New Orleans? or the Carnival at Rio? Well, why sacrificing yourself for those when there is already one right here... at Xavier University!

Unlike any occasion with a fear of having an F, Xavier Days is the only time when you can be happy of having three F's: Fun, Food, and Friends! There's a lot for anyone to experience to have a fun time at Xavier Days. From taking pictures at photo booths to shopping for tees to rock bands to Law students barbecues. And the best part, no class!
