The Ateneo de Manila University (Ateneo for short) is the longest running Filipino sitcom-cum-so-called "educational institution" located at Loyola Heights, a disturbingly upscale subdivision located smack in the heart of Manila's festive Catholic ghetto district. It is also known as the nation's most prestigious parking lot. Founded in 1859 by a lost and drunken bunch of Jesuits who accidentally lost their map en route to propagate grapes in California, this overly pretentious university has been known to produce some of the most educated Filipino call center employees on graveyard shift, who use their spare time playing Minesweeper and Defense of the Ancients.
