UPians won the Summerfest Trophy again just early this month ! Two years ago, UPians won it the first time! Aba, nawili - they took the trophy again!
At Summerfest 2008, some of them wore the Hula skirts, put on wigs and make up, and danced wiggle-wiggle in the mddle of the day in the park . They ended in the front page of the community press!
Then in August last year, too, the day following a night of fierce thunderstorm, some of them donned the Chef`s hat and flipped barbecue in the park, to the delight of those who feasted on the sumptuous food! Then that September, they watched as members of the Philippine Artists Group sketched a lovely professional model - nude - , and purchased the artwork....
Now, what ---- we ARE GOING TO HAVE OUR SECOND HAIL TO THE CHEFS CONTEST.
Now, we can proudly say, " We are the Champions! ". Yes, we won the 2010 PCUAA Summerfest Championship. Kudos to our Sports Committee Chair, Sherwin Dimaculangan for leading our team to victory. To our players, job well done. Thank you!
