Campus sports in a chat transcript

I don’t know, but I think I’m lucky enough not to have watched the UAAP cheerdance competition on the television this afternoon. But surely something was wrong when Ariane texted me something I wouldn’t have expected. “Ang bulok ng pep squad natin!“

Apparently the mistakes were so glaring, most of the people I’ve talked to about it thought it was humiliating on the school’s part. But I guess our cheerleaders make mistakes also, so I’d give them a chance. But almost everybody else saw it, and so far that’s something.

I was talking to Charmaine about it, and what follows is the unedited transcript. (And if you’re sensitive to graphic references and safe profanity, then skip this part.)

Charmaine Tan: ang palpak naman ng pep squad natin

DLSU will be facing Ateneo for the solo second place spot, after UE gets a ticket to the finals. And UP won this competition, something which their basketball team cannot manage to do… at least they won something, though.

Thanks to Carmel Puertollano for alerting me to this page: the actual DLSU Pep Squad performance on video. You judge for yourself.
