Ateneans Act! (Ateneans for Accountability and Truth) We, members of the Ateneo community, address this statement to our Jesuit mentors, faculty members, fellow alumni/ae and, most specially, our countrymen, to express our resolve to live up to the ideals of our beloved alma mater in serving country and people. Formed to become men and women for others, alas, some of our brothers and sisters who have held and/or are still holding positions of influence in government and private business have allowed themselves to become tools of oppression and exploitation by those who only choose to serve themselves. Indeed, some of these fellow alumni/ae are themselves the initiators and perpetrators of these iniquities. Where fraternal conscientization and correction in true Ignatian-Jesuit tradition should have \"washed away\" not moderated \"the spirit of greed\"

Shameful behavior from alumni who should know better. We need more accountability and less excuses.

AMDG! Disappointed by those who keep forgetting their roots once they get into power. Fix this already.

Time to reflect on what we actually learned in those classrooms. Being a man for others shouldn't just be a slogan we put on our resumes.
