Description

U-NIBERSIDAD NG PILIPINAS!

Taken from this AWESOME VIDEO [link]
Other Universities in the video sport costumes that represent their mascots. Chart here

This is for the UAAP 2010
"The University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP), established in 1938, is a sports association of eight universities in the Philippines. Each year, teams from these universities play in 15 sports."

YES, My university's athletes are called Fighting Maroons

UP FIGHT!!!

"Matatapang! Matatalino! Walang takot,. Kahit kanino! Hinding-hindi magpapahuli. Ganyan kaming mga taga-UP!"
[Brave (Fierce)! Intelligent! Fearing no one (nothing)! We wouldn't allow ourselves to be left behind. That's how we are, people of UP!]

----The main/signature cheer of our Univ

However, my all time favorite cheer is the "Pagbaybay" which translates to "Spelling" or "To Spell"

“Isigaw ng sabay sabay ang ating pagbaybay! Hey!
U-Na-I-Ba-E-Ra-Sa-I-Da-A-Da
Na-Ga Pa-I-La-I-Pa-I-Na-A-Sa!"

It's funny that at first, a lot of people think it's a cheer of "gibberish words"
Little did they know that we used the Alibata which is the ancient alphabet of the Philippines (cuz we love our country!)
We spelled "Unibersidad ng Pilipinas" [University of the Philippines] by spelling it Alibata style.

AND, we stress the last letters A-Sa!
Because uhh... how to explain...
the word "Asa" directly means "Depend" OR "Wish/Want/Expect" in Filipino.

When used in a badass way (LOL) it's like "Dream on!"
Like...

"You think you're gonna win? DREAM ON! (ASA!)"

gets? XDDD

(Hmm... I noticed it would be hard to learn Filipino if you don't know the language O.O)

I could imagine the elevator scene...
*elevator opens*
Person A: Bababa ba? (Are you going down?)
Person B: Ah? Bababa? (Oh, going down?)
A: Oo, bababa? (Yeah, down?)
B: Bababa (I'm going down)
A: Baba (Ok, Down)


ROFLROFLROFL BABABABABA
It's kinda hard to translate our language LOL and intonation often counts too...

Anyway
I love my new Univ~
