Charles , I am a concerned mother, an alumna of DLSU-M and I have a son who 's an Atenean . He s in 4th yr high at AHS ..He s been with the Ateneo for 12 years now and is bent on pursuing his College in Ateneo of course. I am just bothered about the Ateneo Bonfire with the name of our Lasalle players on The Bonfire wood. He might have seen this during your celebration and might give him the wrong signal as to this being THE ATENEO WAY of celebrating your victory party/your championship. I hope you do write an article about this maybe or probably condemn this atrocious/improper conduct. I want my son to grow up as GOOD an Atenean as you are with the right values. Thank you Charles. from cevcarolv@pldtdsl.net CEV Dlsu- 1982

Hi, i must agree that i too am very bothered about the names of the DLSU players appearing on the bonfire wood. Apparently some Ateneo alumni did this. ( i heard they did it too nung 2002 but there were no pictures so we don't really know). I must say it took a big part of my joy from this championship away from me. I have always learned that we must be humble in victory and God didn't make us win to do this. Rest assured, the action of a few people do not reflect the whole Ateneo community and i strongly believe that the others had know prior knowledge of this. The school will be issuing an official statement of apology to the DLSU. It wouldn't be fair to generalize the actions of some Ateneans to the whole school just like it wouldn't be fair to do that to DLSU. There will always be those who deviate from the norm and there is nothing we can do about it no matter what kind of education they receive. I sincerely apologize on behalf of the Ateneo community to the whole DLSU community.

 *Im very happy that finally an Atenean admitted their mistake even just for this one because it really affected the entire La Salle community. I know there are still Ateneans who continue to offend us but at least one has already apologized and it should be the start of the whole process..

ANIMO LA SALLE!

*WHOEVER GETS TO READ THIS ITS BEST IF YOU POST IT AS WELL SO THAT OTHER LASALLIANS CAN SEE THIS.. IT WOULD BE A GREAT HELP TO OUR COMMUNITY. THANK YOU.
