On Wings of Blue
The Yells
As the measures of song fade, there is a pause. Then rises a stead ringing chant… The Blue Babble Battalion speaks with its teams – Words of encouragement; commands to push forward; the signal to rally; and, at last, one strong, loud cry of triumph. That is the familiar, the vibrant, the encourage, Atenean’s cheer; the proud constancy of unwavering support, fighting every inch of play…
The Traditional First Volley
Fabilioh
This cheer is old; it is tradition. From time Long Long Ago to time Tomorrow, it is: a legend and a sign-post.
When the Eagles enter the field of contest, the cheering army greets them with this short cry; unintelligible, yet, in its own way, clear with Ateneo meaning…
Fabilioh Fee!
Fabilioh Aie!
Eeneecadeemah,
Eenaweena,
Eeneecadeemah,
Eenawa!
Hurrah, hurrah
Hurrah Rah
Ateneo, Ateneo
Rah! Rah! Rah!
The Fighting Rallying Yells
Adversity is the test of a cheering squad. Then is the much vaunted college spirit marked with Merit or Demerit… Each year’s Ateneo de Manila cheering squad faces this test; each year makes its own mark. But always the Atenean has these rallying, fighting cheers at his comman; they have often effectively stolen Victory from envious defeat…

One word that conquers…
