Dahil tribal tribal ang UE, huwag nating kalimutan ang laban ng mga indigenous people na patuloy inaapi sa kani kanilang ancestral grounds.#UAAPCDC2018

That Play That Funky Music bit by the FEU Cheering Squad is the best dance sequence so far!!! That was so fun! Their energy just has a tendency to dip after a wobble. But nakabawi sa gitna. Definitely owned the dance part of cheerdance. #UAAPCDC2018.

May laban ang Adamson! They gave it all (despite kinda lacking energy – probably with the music) but the stunts are superbly awesome! Well done with great finesse! #AdamsonFalcons #UAAPCDC2018 pic.twitter.com/BAIJR9aLij
