Holy Angel and Ateneo de Naga: "Deja Vu"

holy angel university, ateneo de naga university, archbishop pedro santos, hau, adnu, college, schools in the philippines, naga, pampanga, christian schoolsGoing to school is one of the things I miss the most. Back when I was still studying, there were times that I felt sick and tired of the routine and wished I was already working. But now that I have earned my degree, got a professional license and already engaged in the corporate world, I sometimes miss the fun of going to school: carefree, friends, school performances, paper works and all. I simply miss being a student.

My dear alma later, Holy Angel University improved a lot from the time we graduated about 2 years ago. I was browsing through some of its photos and just before my eyes, I found this very very similar building of Ateneo De Naga University as if they're twins.

So I decided to search for more about Ateneo de Naga. What I found out was that Archbishop Pedro Santos, one of the founders of Holy Angel University, was also the same person behind Ateneo de Naga. It's amazing how Arch. Santos managed to put up institutions from the north and the south which are way too far from each other. Such noble act.

wow! great discovery Jay!

Same APS! Was the similarity of the building just a coincidence?

Still, it's a great trivia Jay. I wonder the HAU admin even knows about this?

I think I've read this also in fr. Nebres column in PDI some months back.

I read at HAU that the architect who designed and built the two buildings was just one person. got to read that again. post it later

judeski said...

Saw at HAU historical info posted at the campus entrance, that the architect who built the same buildings was Arrch MArio/Marino Valdes, who did both buildings for APS.
