For more than eight great decades of Xavier University - Ateneo de Cagayan,
fire (a symbol of passion) and magis (a philosophy of excellence) have been two of our treasured elements
as a thriving academic institution and our common home that nurtured leaders of character and competence.
This gala pays homage to the people behind this revered tradition
whose minds and hearts carry out and exemplify the ideals of Xavier Ateneo
and the true meaning of fire and magis.
