It was because of AN Atenean

The person behind the Ateneo bonfire incident already confessed and admitted his fault. He is Jesse Paredes, an Ateneo alumnus and former Standard Today columnist. He is also the  brother of musician Jim Paredes. Huh. What can I say, he is a respectable personality indeed, but his act didn’t show it.  (pertaining “only” to that incident)

Here is his apology letter addressed to Fr. Bienvenido F. Nebres, SJ, President of ADMU.

3 October 2008

Fr. Bienvenido F. Nebres, SJ
President
Ateneo de Manila University

Dear Fr. Nebres,

I write this letter for two reasons. The first one is to own up to producing the materials with the names of the Green Archers and placing them prominently in the woodpile before the bonfire for all to see.

Secondly, I sincerely apologize to you for the queasy situation you are in as a result of the backlash it created.

While the nature of this letter is a personal apology to you, please feel free to extend it to parties you may deem fit to receive it.

Sincerely,

Jesse Paredes
HS’54, AB’58

Honestly, the apology is all we need. Admitting his fault just proves he’s being an Atenean. I hope this would settle all the issues. Peace. Go Ateneo! Animo La Salle!
