Hyundai to build center for the arts in Ateneo De Manila University

Hyundai Asia Resources, Inc. (HARI), the official distributor of Hyundai cars in the Philippines, through HARI Board Chairman Edward S. Go, sealed an agreement with the Ateneo de Manila University (ADMU) to build the Hyundai Hall in The Areté, Ateneo’s soon-to-rise creativity hub. The MOA signing was held last August 29 at the ADMU Loyola Heights Campus. The 900-seater Hyundai Hall, envisioned to be The Areté’s state-of-the-art theater and concert space, will house the Edward S. Go Wing. This permanent fixture of the Hyundai Hall has the donor, an outstanding Atenean himself, celebrating his Jesuit education, which has the Humanities, or the holistic formation of the person, at its core.

“The Hyundai slogan ‘New Thinking. New Possibilities.’ resonates well with the Ateneo’s mission,” affirmed Mr. Go. He also expressed confidence that this hub for the arts will nurture and develop leaders and culture influencers whose “New Thinking” can unite and drive the Philippines towards its goals of sustainable socio-economic progress.
