Scenes from the Ateneo bonfire

The parking lot of the Ateneo Grade School at 5pm. The second semester bonfire coincided with the Athlete's Night that was held at the Irwin Theater. A bunch of cool bands performed for more than an hour while the athletes had a short program and dinner. 

Denden Lazaro was mobbed by all these kids while on her way to the Irwin Theater. There was this one kid who asked if he could hug her and Denden hugged him back in a tres cool moment. Amazing amazing scene. Wish I got a picture of that.

Kiefer Ravena too got a bunch of peeps asking for photos and autographs. It looked like he was in a hurry but he made sure he posed and signed everything. 

Our Air Valdez shirts sold pretty well! It was nice to meet some of the fans who purchased the shirt. Got to chat and talk about what they were looking for. Good info for future use.

Of course, the highlight was the lighting of the firewood. It sure was swell to see the Men's Football and Baseball teams honored. In 2006, a bonfire was held for the three-peat football champions. A couple of hundred turned out for the event. This one wasn't nowhere as big as the October bonfire for the Men's Basketball Team but it was pretty good considering it's exam week and a Friday. My best estimate? Three-to-four thousand people.
