In the world of Sports

From years of inactivity due to the Covid pandemic to going full swing with lively games and big audiences from barangay leagues to stadium-sized spectacles, sports continue to draw a massive following, as we, Filipinos, are naturally passionate and loyal to our dear athletes and favorite players.

Bigger audience

UAAP basketball concluded with much fanfare when La Salle dethroned University of the Philippines last Dec. 3 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum. The attendance? A staggering 24,339, all of whom wearing the green and maroon threads of the rival schools from the patrons up to the bird's eye section.

Expect the same intensity when women's volleyball comes to life in February, with estimates pegged at surpassing the record attendance of 18,514 in Game 2 of the Finals between National University and La Salle last May 2025.
