I was disappointed when the UP pep squad wasn't the one declared as the champion of the recently held UAAP Cheerdance Competition because of course, I'm a student of the University of the Philippines. Well not to be biased with the other squads, I watched live in the Mall of Asia Arena and I thought that if our pep squad didn't win, UST Salinggawi Dance Troupe could've. Both teams performed best among the rest. That's why many people were unhappy (including me) when NU won again the competition. I did not expect them to retain the title after several errors during their performance, including one where they failed to complete a pyramid. Other people even said that the competition is cooked or there's already a champion even before all teams performed. Yes, everyone know that they are one of the best who performed last October 3 but I really didn't think that all of their errors still brought to the top. After all, UP Pep Squad and UST Salinggawi performed the cleanest routine and either of them deserved the crown. But on the brighter side, I'm happy because the majority thinks that the performance of UP Pep Squad nailed it and what's important is their advocacy regarding "Equality". I was overwhelmed with the number of people in the arena supporting our Pep Squad and I also think that their theme "Utak at Puso" made their performance even stronger and it made the UP nation unite as one.
