Paskong UP

Maligayang Pasko sa lahat!

Finally I got the chance to watch the Pailaw again this year! Last year was fun because I got to watch the ceremony wherein the UP President, Mrs. Roman will light the torch-like stand to mark the start of the Christmas season in the UP community. I was lucky to be with my orgmates in UP Subol Society to watch the program-full of production numbers from the Pep Squad and sorts. I did enjoy this night since I was able to bond with my Subol-mates again. I hope this will not be my last engagement with them. We went to Jolibee Philcoa and had our dinner there after the program.

UP Pep Squad = CHAMPION

I had so much fun cheering for the UP Pep. 

At first I thought the defending champion can still fight for their crown, but after seeing the UP Pep performed, I have had a second thought on my primary assumption. Well, UP have the most creative concept and theme, the fastest moves yet they still managed to be so synchronized, the pyramids were great, too!

The UST Salinggawi was good, so as the FEU Pep Squad. What made me love the people from the UST crowd was that they even shouted "UP! UP! UP!" as everyone waited for the announcement of results. Super thank you guys! According to my professor, Ma'am Data, some even built their baloons in 'U-P' form. I was so touched. 

Standing for the entire show was so hard but seeing all of these performances, it was worth every pain. Especially knowing in the end that your school's team is the Champion. I really appreciate the UP pep Squad for making different types and kinds of 'Iskolar ng Bayan' to unite and cheer for one school.

SCHOOL GIMMICKS. I enjoyed looking at different colors at the Big Dome. Looking at the different gimmicks of different schools, I can't help but to smile. I find the shirt-styled campaign of UST a good marketing strategy and a good advertising technique. Though I did not really appreciate the text therein.  UST's team had a lot of hotdog-like balloons prepared for their attendees. FEU had handkerchief-like cloth wrapped on the different parts of their top body but most of the stuff I saw was on around their forehead- yes, like on the logo of the UE Warriors. 

Of course, our campaign 'Take it off for UP Pep' was also spectacular. Knowing senior people located at the patron side who took their maroon top over their white shirts is overwhelming. Though a lot was also not able to take their maroon top off and their reasons, based on the ambush interview I did after the competition was that: first, their area was so stiff; and second, they are at the different school side, though my professor who was at the side of the National University took her maroon shirt off!  

The "Take it off for UP Pep" campaign is still a success even if only a few did participate in the campaign, though, the fact that some people participated in the campaign makes it successful. So on behalf of our class, super thank you for joining and supporting the UP Pep Squad! Wait for the release of the new video in our Facebook fanpage. 

I am happy by the fact that even if the UP Fighting Maroons did not manage to win even a single game wherein they ended at 0-14, everything is still balanced as the UP Pep Squad wins victoriously as this year's UAAP CDC CHAMPION.

ABS-CBN features 'Take It Off' in an article

Kath called me up just to tell this super cool news! I was about to sleep before she called and I am thankful she did because my bloods did rush upon talking to her! ABS-CBN mentioned our class project, "Take It Off for U.P. Pep" in their news article!

This ruined my morning

:( So I read it as I went surfing at the UP Pep's Page in Facebook and read these messages that made me feel sad about our major project in BC 148. 


Hans Ong: is the 'take off' gimmick officially endorsed by the up pep or is it
just a project of a class in up?

Carl Espinas: @hans ong: 'take off' isn't official. it's just a project
of a class in up. 'wear white. up fight' is the official gimmick of up pep.

Hans Ong: @carl espinas: thanks! i think it is baduy kasi. haha

Oh, well, you cannot please everyone. Only creative minds can think about that Take it Off campaign, right? Go BC 148!

Shoot for 'Take it Off for UP Pep'

     The class was divided into two groups to shoot for the TAKE IT OFF FOR U.P. PEP campaign. It was after our class discussed on Thursday September 2,  some major problems that might come our way in our project. My groupmates were Kyra and Margie and we were assigned at the KASAA. I did enjoy the shooting and even inviting some fellow students to cheer for the UP Pep Squad! I will upload the video as soon as Kuya em, a classmate, has done editing them. 

     It was so exhausting but the presence of my classmates and professor made the work so much fun and exciting! Imagine, we even shoot at the AS steps! WOW! It was my first time to perform there with the class, of course. After the shoot, we even did a campaign at the CAL tambayan and thanks to the UP Writers' Club for having a great video and cheer! They even did a choreography in their video. Thanks guys! 

With my classmates Faith and Faye. 

Thanks Ate Camille for the photo.

UAAP CDC tickets will be released on Sept 6

I am excited for this! I am planning to be at the gym on that day at 4AM or later around that time.

I am desperate for this. Thanks to my BC 148 class for approving my proposal for us to make this as our final project. At least I have a reason to watch it LIVE!

According to the article, starting September 6, Reyes said people can start buying tickets from the athletics and sports divisions in schools.


"...this year we want to release the tickets at the schools first for the students" -Edwin Reyes, head secretariat of the UAAP Season 73.
