The Knight That Went Away



The Ateneo Golden Knight logo depicts of a knight on a horse heading to the right. And never has it in any illustration been represented to head the left. But many of our golden knights have, in the span of almost 25 years, left Ateneo and headed their own way, but whose return, in vict'ry or defeat, we shall always cheer.   

And so in the evening of that rainy night of December 30, 2014 at the Grand Reunion, we proudly sported on our batch shirts that logo of a Golden Knight heading opposite its usual direction to represent you, our dear batchmates who left Naga to fight your own battles and conquer the upper reaches of the country and of the world instead of doing the fighting right here. Many of you may have found success though others may have not. But keep in mind that the knight who is truly victorious is the knight who comes back home. SEE YOU IN 2016!

It’s no small task when you decide to amplify the advocacy of a man to make it inviting and relevant today.

The man I am referring to is Fr. James O’Brien, SJ, who taught hundreds of youths at the Ateneo de Naga and pioneered the teaching of Bikol history and culture. His primary advocacy was to inculcate in his students the supreme value of loving the Bikol culture. Since his assignment at the Ateneo de Naga as a young Jesuit scholastic in the ‘50s, this had always been his advocacy.

Today, as the members of the Ateneo de Naga High School Batch of 1966 prepare to celebrate their Golden Jubilee in 2016, they decided to make the “legacy of Fr. OB ever alive,” as Nicol Miraflores, a member of Batch ’66 based in New York, put it.

Concretely, Batch ’66 has committed to Ateneo de Naga University to financially support the setting up of what the former calls “OBikoliana.”
