I also liked that the Babble interacted more with the crowd. –Therese Abesamis, 24, teacher

Ironically, it was when UP defeated ADMU. It brought the Eagles back to earth and gave them a reality check. Another favorite would be when ADMU clawed back from a 17-point hole against UE in the eliminations. With teamwork and perseverance, success is very possible.–Luigi Onglao, 26, travel agent

When UP beat Ateneo in basketball and when Ateneo beat UP in cheerdance. Parang bumaliktad ata ang mundo. –Mark Posadas, 28, army officer

Elated when the Ateneo Blue Babble Battalion made it to second place at the cheering competition. After years of rooting for them, it sure felt like a championship. The moonwalk must have done it! –Nikki Gloria-Dizon, 27

Definitely UP beating Ateneo! My friends had a field day talking about it. And then there’s Ateneo snagging second place at the UAAP Cheerdance Competition. –Raph Doval-Santos, 25, web copy writer

Battle of Katipunan Round 1, of course! UP beat Ateneo, 68-58 at the Philsports Arena on that rainy Sunday afternoon. Of course, UP was the complete underdog in that showdown because going into that game, Ateneo had a 3-0 record while UP was at 0-3. But the Maroons played with complete confidence, like they had nothing to lose. And David defeated Goliath big time. –Pat Roque, 21, PR account manager

UST-DLSU Round 1! The double-overtime had me screaming nonstop at home. I honestly thought UST would still win that game. It was a heartbreaking loss, but I believe they played with the 3 P’s in mind (Pride, puso, palaban). Go USTe! –Marilyn de Mesa, 20, editorial assistant

When UP gave DLSU and Ateneo a heavy beating… That’s UP’s shining moment there. The underdogs giving the all-time favorites hell. When I saw that, I thought, at least for a while, that everything’s possible. Seph Holandes, 23, journalist

When both Ateneo and La Salle wore yellow to commemorate Cory Aquino. That was solid. Maui Reyes-Drilon, 26, copywriter
