The 75th season of the UAAP is in full swing, with eight teams (Ateneo, La Salle, UST, UE, UP, National U, Adamson U and FEU) competing for the title being held by the Ateneo Blue Eagles. National U is hosting the games’ diamond celebration, thus the theme “Unbreakable at 75.”
Supported by the SM Group, the UAAP opening ceremonies last July 14 at the Mall Of Asia (MOA) Arena was highlighted by a grand show, with former Pres. Fidel V. Ramos as special guest.
“The UAAP board led by its president, Nilo Ocampo of NU, was in full force,” noted Nap Gutierrez, sport expert. “Among the big supporters of UAAP are Ambassador Danding Cojuangco (for La Salle), Lucio Tan (for UE), Manny V. Pangilinan (for Ateneo) and Henry Sy with son Hans (for NU).”
The UAAP games are aired by ABS-CBN and Studio 23.
