Not even the rain could end UP’s dry spell in front of a goal.
The rematch of last year’s final saw multiple chances on goal for either side but neither was able to fully capitalize. Both teams also needed goal-line clearances to preserve a share of the spoils.
“I wanna win. I wanted to win,” said UP coach Anto Gonzales, who was unsatisfied with the draw.
With only minutes to go, the Maroons were denied a first goal in four matches when confusion in the UST defense allowed Jinggoy Valmayor to challenge for a bouncing ball in the UST penalty area. (read more)

UP whips Ateneo in UAAP football opener
by Adrian Taningco (Tinig ng Plaridel)
The University of the Philippines kicked off its football crown defense during the opening day of the 74th UAAP football season with a hard-fought and ill-tempered 2-0 win over the Ateneo de Manila University Saturday at the Ateneo High School Football Field.
Juan Miguel Roy and Nii Aryee Ayi struck for the defending champions either side of halftime to defeat their neighbors from Katipunan, whose goalkeeper was sent off ten minutes from time.
“A win is a win, but I’m far from satisfied,” said UP Coach Anto Gonzales. “Overall the first game is always the most difficult game. I hope things will only get better,” he continued.
The Maroons took the lead in the 24th minute, courtesy of senior Roy. The defender drilled a perfectly executed corner kick taken by last season’s Rookie of the Year Jinggoy Valmayor past the diving Ateneo goalie RS Mantos. [read more]

1:00 am update. Edited na yong istorya. Wala na ‘yang error na ‘yan. Buti naman. :)
Got my planner yesterday. Was also able to try Happy Lemon milk tea.
Ohai, guys!
I’m the player on the right side at the back. Kalaro ko ‘yong long hair. Swabeng technique starts at 1:55. This is just a Randori (free exercise/game). I regret that I knew Judo too late. Ngayon pang last year (hopefully!) ko na sa UP. One of the best sports!
Me while playing Judo. I’m the one on the right (the one who threw the other player).
Anyway, sa second grappling technique, chino-choke na ako nong isang player. I was about to tap when the referee (our instructor) shouted “Ippon” (one full point). Apparently, we didn’t hear it kaya after n’ya sumigaw, sabi na lang namin, “Anyare?” Hahaha!
Tinakot ko ‘yong isang player sabi ko kumain ako ng Shawarma at 16oz na Blizzard bago pumasok ng class. Mejo wagas na suka ‘yon. =))
Kung kulang ng tamis ang buhay mo, kasalanan mo na ‘yon.
Pero pag nauumay ka na sa tamis, try mo mag-pizza para maiba naman ang lasa. haha
FOOD. Yay to almost 10lbs I gained over the Christmas break. Must start working out asap.

“Eric Altamirano (4th Year Guard): I remember we were up by 10 points, last two minutes against UE, all to lose by one point. Sa sakit, talagang na-remember ko yun. Naghanda na sila [UP president Edgardo] Angara ng pagkain sa Vinzons Hall, puro lechon, lahat walang kumain nun. Walang nakakain sa sobrang sama ng loob.”
