About
Who we are
Established in 1985, Ateneo Celadon is the premier Chinese-Filipino organization of the Ateneo for 40 years running. We aspire to develop our members to become the game changers in society by integrating our vision of social change with the Chinese-Filipino tradition. In Celadon, we encourage our members to be united in this vision by developing their potential to become globally competitive leaders based on strong Chinese-Filipino principles. We do this by showcasing our events such as cultural festivals, financial summits, and leadership programs that not only have won awards but also bring the best in our members–paving the way for them to become the leaders and visionaries for a 'Greater Philippine Society'. With the help our partners such as the Ateneo Ricardo Leong Center for Chinese Studies, we believe this is possible. Simply put, Celadon has stayed and will stay true to its promise of being the forefront in creating Chinese-Filipino game-changers for the country.
