Ateneo CeladonThe Official Chinese-Filipino Student

Organization of Ateneo de Manila University

Vision Statement

Comprised of excellent culturally-oriented leaders rooted in Ignatian values and

Chinese-Filipino traditions, Celadon envisions a Chinese-Filipino community

geared towards nation-building.

Celadon: 青瓷，花瓷• Named after a jade-green porcelain crafted by skilled

Chinese potters as early as the Shang Dynasty, Celadon is the brainchild of three Filipino-Chinese students who established it on July 17, 1985.

• The name “Celadon” was chosen because its namesake served as a symbol of discipline and excellence, traits that the organization wanted to instill in its members.

• Celadon started out with a modest number of 110 members. In the years that followed, however, its members grew in number, and eventually it became one of Ateneo’s largest organizations. Today, on it’s 24th year, Celadon has a total of 378 members and 74 officers.

A fusion of Teachers’ Day and the Mid-Autumn Festival, students can vote for their teachers’ awards throughout the week. The awarding ceremonies for the professors and the famous dice game take place during the celebratory night at the end of the week. One of Celadon and ADMU’s most exciting celebrations.

Celadon WeekCoinciding with the Chinese New Year, Celadon Week showcases the best of Chinese culture with festivities, bazaars and cultural shows. This year, Chinese New Year falls on February 14, 2009. Therefore, Celadon will be merging this project with Rose Sale, another one of Celadon’s legacies in the campus.

Rose Sale 情人节 Celadon joins the Ateneo community as it

celebrates the season of love. We sell roses on campus to students, faculty and staff. We also deliver roses to unsuspecting recipients with additional touches – a heartfelt serenade, stuffed toys and goodies sent straight to their classrooms.
