POPSAteneo de Davao University The Ateneo de Davao rests on the time-tested foundations of Jesuit education: cura personalis (care for the individual student) and magis (always seeking the greater good), among others. The Ateneo education is student-centered and attentive to the development of the whole person. Ateneo programs stress spiritual formation and service learning to prepare its students for service to the country and the global community.

POPSNature v nurture? Please don't ask "These results show the sterility of the old nature-nurture debate. Nature works through nurture, and nurture through nature, to shape our personalities, aptitudes, health and behavior. The question should not be which is the dominant influence, but how they fit together. " A very interesting account on the debate with its scientific and social roots. The striking thing is to see in perspective how new discoveries are fast adopted/adjusted in serving other needs; which calls for one to be a critical thinker as to not fall pray to some of the conceptual traps.

POPSSalute To 'Indian Joe' & St. Anthony's - THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE TO OUR PEOPLE
This is a funny little bit about Indian Joe and St. Anthony's who serves about a 1,500 meals every day for us without taxpayer funds.... (as far as we know). History Note: On October 4, 1950, Fr. Alfred opens St. Anthony Dining Room, serving 400 meals the first day. After realizing guests suffer from untreated medical problems, Fr. Alfred creates a small First Aid Station in the DIning Room. WE LOVE ST. ANTHONY'S and we are not happy about Marian's women shelter is closing. They do their operation very well, most of the time and even have a nutritionist or dietician that coordinates their meals and menu. With the closing of the Haight-Ashbury Food Program (and cooking school run by Chef Dan before he retired last Christmas) for reasons we are still researching -- there has been a noticeable increase in demand for meals. Indian Joe has become St. Anthony's Poster Boy. They made a postcard with his picture on it !! It looks FANTASTIC. Oh should we say Fab-U-Lous

POPSWhen I Consider How My Light Is Spent - Milton's sonnet My favorite sonnet - wonderfully taught by 10th class (1969-70) English teacher and principal of my school - St Thomas' (SPG) High School - Mr. Ignatius Jagannathan. The line "And that one talent which is death to hide" has inspired me to bring out the latent talent in a few of my friends, students and work colleagues.
