The Day of ABC’s
A’s, B’s, and C’s may just be letters for many, but in the Ateneo de Manila Senior High School (ASHS), this set of letters gain a whole new meaning—for us Ateneans, these are indicators of our efforts and perseverance in our studies as well as deciding factors for our futures.

You would usually encounter this specific greeting during the month of February—often before the day of love, Valentine’s Day. You may even recall another greeting, “Gōng xǐ fā cái!”, that is used interchangeably with the greeting above.

It’s Chinese New Year!
