'HOME OF THE UAAP'

The University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) and its student-athletes will soon have its own home — a permanent one after the "Home of the UAAP" was officially unveiled during the groundbreaking inside the 1.8 hectare site along Amang Rodriguez Avenue, Pasig City on Friday, Oct. 24.

No less than Akari Lighting and Technology Corporation CEO Christopher Tiu and other stakeholder led the simple ceremony much to the delight of UAAP officials.

"Three years ago, when we first set foot here, it was a massive parcel of land with very tall grass, which stretched out as far as our eyes could see. Honestly, during that time, we still didn't have to think of this idea," said Tiu.
