...Mar16 game cancelled...

game cancelled. ateneo pulled out. --> my words.

game moved to indefinite date. ateneo asked for a postponment. --> what they want me to say.

last monday, an uncle of mine was told by his atenean(alum) friend that there is an email circulating around the ateneo alumni not to support the event. last tuesday, an aunt who regularly coordinated with mr. palou of the ateneo regarding the event saw him talking with two people. she approached hem, introducing himself as a sister of jun lozada, and these two people left with a certain look on their faces. mr. palou likewise had a different aura when she was talking to him. yesterday(wednesday), they asked me to stop selling tickets.

you do the math.

bro. bernie of dlsu is still trying to make the event happen. however, as a family, we decided not to be the main proponents anymore. "it was supposed to be just a fun game" was how my aunt put it. and now, they put political crap on it. with a tainted cause, we don't think it is proper to push through with it. it might still happen, but with all the crappy reasons ateneo is giving, we no longer want to deal with it personally. i don't condemn ateneo as an institution. i condemn the small, but powerful group of the alumni which protects the likes of FG, gaite, joker arroyo, etc... they make the respectable institution look bad.
