Blue meets Big Blue

The Ateneo de Manila University hosted the first-ever IBM-Ateneo fellowship night last Friday night at the Leong Hall roofdeck. It was a gathering of Ateneo alumni from various batches currently working in any of the IBM subsidiaries in the Philippines. It became a mini-reunion for the 70 or so of us Atenean IBMers who attended.

A short program ensued with Ateneo President Fr. Ben Nebres, SJ, and Alumni Director Jun Dalandan as special guests. Fr. Dacanay, SJ, presided over the invocation while IBMP's Aileen Rodriguez delivered the welcome remarks. An Ateneo trivia contest followed and gift certificates and UAAP tickets were given away as prizes.

Despite the uncooperative weather, the event was an overwhelming success. We all look forward to seeing this become a regular annual affair.
