    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!

       This ends the giving of  public legal advice from this small space here (see previous post embedded below). The Veep has a lot of competent lawyers who are smarter …

   ( will entertain official phone calls and emails. Tnx.)

 

 

the last line from the previous post is from Sting… say yes if it is  possible “to clinch a lifetime’s argument…”

    “for all  those born

     beneath an angry star…”

      This is the most recent photo of Ignacio Enrique “Nacho” Domingo taken and tweeted eleven days ago, last Sept. 19, 2019, by the UP CMC Student Council, during the commemorative activities of the declaration of martial law (a group photo cropped by blog admin). Nacho was the UP CMC college student council  vice chair.

      Here is what he submitted last semester as his description:

      From Nacho Domingo, posted nine months ago, or last Jan. 22, 2019:
“I am a third year BA Broadcast Communication student. My favorite book is F. Scott Fitzgerald’s “The Great Gatsby” and how it projects the lengths one would go to seek his dreams.
“My favorite film is Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back because of how it unites a slew of well-developed characters in an inter-woven narrative.
“My favorite media practitioner is the critical journalist Inday Espina Varona. This needs no explanation. I’m also a big fan of the actor Daniel Day-Lewis because of his profound mastery of Stanislavsky’s method.
“My favorite band is and always will be Queen because of the depth of their lyrics. My favorite songs of theirs are Bohemian Rhapsody and Love of my life.
“I love Burgers, but hate imperialist US. Finally, I love reading, writing, speaking, and playing sports. Above all, I love the country with all my heart.”

       – Nacho Domingo, 2019
