August 31, 2005

Hello again from the Ateneo de Davao !

Adding to the festivities of the Ateneo 2005 Fiesta and Davao City's Kadayawan, this year's silver jubilarians, High School Batch 1980: Mga Huling Barako held the "Blue Retro", a reunion party. This highly successful all-night till dawn disco party was held last August 13, 2005 starting at 8:00 pm at the Rizal Promenade (along Rizal Street, Davao City).

Below are pictures of some members of the organizing class in their aptly colored shirts and their special guests in one of the bars along the Promenade. Our thanks to Mr. Rico Arnold M. Oñate (GS'76 HS'80 BSBA'84 and this year's Homecoming chairman) for sharing these pictures with the Alumni Office.

Mr. Oñate informed us that Philippine Women's College Batch 80 showed up to show their support for the batch. PWC HS'80 celebrated their Homecoming the day before (Aug. 12) at the Davao Convention Center. Many of these PWC alumnae are AdDU College '84 alumnae.

Congratulations to High School Batch 1980: Mga Huling Barako for their successful disco party. God bless your class for all the efforts you have made and continue to make, particularly as hosts of the forthcoming ADDU Grand Alumni Homecoming on December 30, 2005.

with prayers for you all,
