The Ateneo Blue Eagles are flying back to their nest for One Big Feast: The 2025 Ateneo de Manila University Grand Alumni Homecoming, on Dec. 6, 2025, at the Ateneo Junior High School Covered Courts.

Hosted by this year’s Silver Jubilarians, the Ateneo High School Class of 2000, the event will honor the past, plant seeds for a bright future, and aspire to elevate One Big Fight to a global stage.

Fun and lively performances, including a comedy set by Victor Anastacio, a show band, smooth DJ sets, and a headline performance by The Itchyworms, also await Ateneans.

This year’s Homecoming will gather Ateneans as they honor and support the event’s beneficiaries, foremost among them the teachers whose guidance, presence, passion, and patience have shaped the growth, development, and achievements of countless Ateneans.

In recognition of their dedication and lasting impact, a portion of the proceeds will bolster the Teachers’ Retirement Fund. More than 40 active and retired faculty members are expected to attend the festivities to reconnect with their former students and mentees.

The event will also support the AAA Order of the Blue Eagles Scholars, ensuring that deserving students continue to receive opportunities for a transformative Ateneo education. By empowering them to pursue their dreams, the Ateneo community helps shape individuals who can contribute meaningfully to society and become leaders who can help build a brighter and stronger future for the country.

Finally, a portion of the proceeds will likewise support the Ateneo Track and Field Team as part of efforts to elevate homegrown talent to a global stage and champion excellence in athletics — not only locally but in international competitions such as the Southeast Asian Games, the Olympics, and other global tournaments.

Aside from the meaningful causes it supports, the Homecoming also promises One Big Fun, giving attendees a chance to celebrate, reconnect, and reminisce with fellow Ateneans through an evening filled with good food courtesy of Manam and Moment Catering, and excellent drinks and hydration, including soda, juices, beers, and select spirits.

Providing additional excitement and energy to the event are comedian Victor Anastacio and the ever-versatile, popular hosts PJ Lanot and Mica Pineda.

To top it all off, Ateneans can look forward to exciting raffle prizes ranging from hotel stays at Astoria Current Boracay, Astoria Palawan, Astoria Plaza, and Grand Hyatt, to a motorcycle and other items — ensuring surprises and laughs throughout the night.

One Big Feast will start with the honoring of heroes at 3:00 PM, followed by a Eucharistic Celebration at the Church of the Gesu at 3:30 PM. After the Mass, there will be a short Marian Procession going to the High School grounds.

Gates for the Homecoming will open at 5:30 PM, and the program will start at 6:30 PM, providing Ateneans with the opportunity to bond with former teachers, expand their network with fellow alumni, and engage with sponsors and beneficiaries.

The eventful night is made possible through the support of PLDT, Smart, Filinvest Land Inc., Moment Catering, San Miguel Corporation, and Astoria Hotels and Resorts.

The AHS Batch 2000 also organized various fundraising events throughout the year, including a golf tournament (One Big Flight), a movie screening (One Big Film Screening), and an art auction-exhibit featuring their homegrown artists (Origins Beyond Form).

This blend of fellowship, nostalgia, entertainment, and generosity makes the event more than just a homecoming but a celebration of the essence of being an Atenean.
