The UP Pep squad aerialed and pyramided to an all-original U.P.-created cheerdance music, a U.P. #OPM

    The UP Pep squad aerialed and pyramided to an all-original U.P.-created cheerdance music, a U.P. OPM


     The UP Pep squad aerialed and pyramided to an all-original U.P.-created cheerdance music, a U.P. OPM, using those UP-crowd-created and UP-Pep-Squad-created chants set to EDM (electronic dance music), including chants like a remixed “Iskolar ng Bayan! Ngayon ay lumalaban!” set to dubstep! (give us a copy!) (“Iskolar ng Bayan, ngayon ay lumalaban” roughly translated: “Scholars of the people, fight for the people” – translation with apologies).
        There should be an award for original composition and using an all-original music for the cheerdance competition but there are none. (it’s too easy and convenient to just download any pop music, foreign, usually, for the UAAP cheerdance, but this piracy does not contribute to the arts; besides, there are probably copyright issues here but fortunately for the rip-offers, the international song companies are not looking this way).
       Still and all, the winners, based on the traditional scoring of “stunts, pyramids, tosses, and tumbling” deserve their awards for the difficulty and athleticism of the moves. 
       The NU cheerdance athletes had exquisite, death-defying moves (Warning: not to be attempted without the assistance of a certified coach) such as when: While balancing on their teammates hands, they held up a steady one-legged dancers’ pose (extreme tree pose)  and from this, backbended still holding the dancer’s pose,  and then, without momentum but a slight upward nudge from below, backflipped  still holding the dancer’s pose from the second tier to the ground – very difficult and dangerous (Warning: not to be attempted without the assistance of a certified coach) ; they also formed their pyramid not by somersaulting to it but by leaping and hurtling from the ground straight to the third tier and landing perfectly on top of the pyramid, perfectly stable, even with momentum to power the leap — all very risky, difficult, and dangerous ( Warning: not to be attempted without the assistance of a certified coach) They deserve the award this year.
       … not sure if these risks are necessary — Happy that everyone is safe. Congratulations to all the athletes!

Neutering and Vaccination of campus animals: Many thanks: Chancellor Mike Tan, Vice Chancellor Jose Ernie Lope, Vice Chancellor Jerwin Agpaoa, Prof. Greg del Pilar III, FOCA U.P., Animal Kingdom Foundation, U.P. College of Veterinary Medicine, Philippine Veterinary Medical Association, Humane Society International, UPD Social Service Brigade, Beta Sigma fraternity, Don Castillo, Butch Silva, all volunteers faculty, students, staff, and Friends of Campus Animals U.P. (FOCA U.P.) founder Khrysta Rara (Neutering and Vaccination in June 2019 and on November 10 and 17, 2019)

 

   The internationally recognized most humane way of treating community animals is to vaccinate and neuter them (in order to neutralize them of bacteria, viruses, worms, and fleas, and to make them less aggressive and to contain and control their population.) In this manner, they can healthily co-exist with humans and can also render service as watchdog, as emotional support animals, and with formal training, as search and rescue dogs and as service dogs. (some become TV personalities and internet sensations.)

      (Or if you want to be paradigmatic about it: Our species is the steward of this planet and all living things in it …)
The University of the Philippines Diliman leads the way in the humane treatment of community animals. One hundred ninety -five U.P. Diliman campus cats and dogs were spayed and neutered last November 10, 2019  thru a project called “trap-neuter-vaccinate-return” (TNVR) by the UP administration in cooperation with the Animal Kingdom Foundation, Humane Society International, Philippine Veterinary Medical Association, FOCA U.P., members of the U.P. Diliman Social Service Brigade (Barangay U.P. campus village staff),  and the Beta Sigma fratetnity. The treated dogs will then be garbed with maroon collars to identify them. (for some reason, in the past,  the collars had to be re-supplied e.g., last year, Tisáy’s collars had to be replaced four or five times; Tisáy is a beautiful aspin who looks like a small golden retriever). The spayed/ neutered cats will have the tips of their ears surgically “tagged”.
This is a continuation of the TNVR last June, 2019, where 365 U.P. Diliman campus dogs and cats were spayed,  neutered, and vaccinated — a feat by all accounts in this country. 


Below are some of the photos of the TNVR held last Nov. 10, 2019. (all photos by FOCA UP).

     Humans who want the dogs and cats around them to be part of the TNVR this November 17, 2019 may contact in advance the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Community Affairs (see poster below).
