RJ Ledesma tackles Ateneo-La Salle Rivalry

The Philippine Star

MANILA, Philippines - TV host and author RJ Ledesma shows how school pride is more than just jersey-deep in his latest book, Blue Babble, Gang Green: The Ateneo-La Salle Rivalry. The book traces the rivalry back to the late ‘30s during the first Ateneo-La Salle “friendship game” in the Philippines and even further back to 19th century America when a teaching dispute erupted between the two largest teaching congregations of the Catholic Church — the Jesuits and the Christian Brothers. RJ humorously compares this rivalry to “Toyota versus Crispa, the Spartans versus the Persians, Noranians versus Vilmanians.” Blue Babble, Gang Green, put out by Anvil Publishing, will be available in National Bookstore and Powerbooks later this month.
