Makati City, Philippines | March 31, 2014,

As the former Dean Albert Buenviaje steps down and retires as the head of AGSB, the new Dean Rudy Ang takes over tomorrow. He said as we walked out of the cafeteria today, he would have to know a lot of people. I mentioned to him that services of old professors who are senior just like fmr Dean Buenviaje (just like me) may no longer be needed

He said that the fmr Dean will continue to teach at AGSB, and my concern is not valid

New Leadership at AGSB -Dean Albert Buenviaje Retiring as Dean on March 31, 2014

One week from now, Dean Albert Buenviaje would have retired, leaving AGSB with fond memories of his kindness. Of course, Dean Albert is a protege of Dr. Alran Bengzon.

We went all on a hard stuff of "What is so Ateneo about Ateneo" and transformed AGSB from a train station to a community of educators with Ignatian spirit.

The New Dean true to the announcement at the Crimson Hotel last August of sharing resources brought with him his team. They are now at AGSB. The old timers, the Bengzon and Buenviaje loyalists are concerned.

But the new Dean has not talked nor issued any pronouncement and that makes the events rather worrisome to many faculty. It has started a lot of speculations and much activity in the rumor mill I talked to the outgoing dean and he said the new Dean will not talk out of decency because he is still in charge.

There will a be a despedida for the Dean come March 31, 2014. I have second to the last class unfortunately

I was fortunate to converse with the outgoing Dean yesterday afternoon; he will be up to end of the month only. He is retiring; he was my college classmate
