                   Every school has its own culture and in AdDU, it's called the Atenean culture. Ateneo is rich in culture. Example, Intramurals is supposed to be celebrated one week or three days or just a maximum of ten days, but here in Ateneo, it is a 3 month event (MWF every actuivity period). It also has sportsfest every division to see and prepare for the "Ateneo Fiesta" celebrated 3 days. Ateneo has also a lot of shirts like every month has a shirt and one of the Ateneo culture is that when someone protest about it, others will just say "Welcome to Ateneo." It became an inside joke. Ateneo has a lot of facilities that you could never found in other schools especially in technology. One of the culture of Ateneo is having a right manner especially when disembarking the elevator and saying "Thank you" to the in charge of the Elevator. Some Atenenan are conyo and pabebe but that's our language. Atenean has an impression of being high class and maarte but they never really know. 

           Culture is the identity of a nation, places, country, organization, society, groups and many others. That is our culture and that's what makes Atenean stand out and different.

Blog Entry #3: Tigso

           

              TIGSO FOR OLYMPICS

               Tigso is a game that was passed down generations by generations of Filipino youth. This game is one of the identity of Filipino culture for it originated here on the Philippines. This game is highly interactive for it uses your physical capabilities coordinated with mental strategies.

            this game is so easy to play. All you need is two pole or kingdom that have a fair distance and having 5 and above of soldiers on each side. The two kingdoms should be represented with a rock that could be step on by the "guard" (only one player could be a guard) all the time. The others will be the one who will catch the opponents soldier and goal to step on opponents "rock" but before that, they need to step on their base. If the player one from the kingdom one step on their base and ran out and then the player one from the kingdom two will step on its base and ran out after the player one from the kingdom one, the player one from the kingdom one cannot chase the player one from the kingdom two for he/she would be under him/her. If a soldier was caught, he will be staying in the opponents kingdom like a prisoner until someone from their kingdom will rescue and save him/her by touching him/her. The goal of this game is to step on the rock of the other kingdom.

           This game is fun and exciting and without any bias, this game would really be qualified in Olympics for aside of being fun, it develops and enhances different aspects and values of life especially in sports. It enhances the Sportsmanship, the leadership, the communication, the unity, the strategic plan, the open-mindedness and many more.
