SPORTS NEWS: UE’s Antonio bags MVP, Best Outside Spiker awards

University of the East (UE) hitter Christian Lewis Antonio etched his name for the Junior Warriors after bagging the Most Valuable Player (MVP) honor in the UAAP Season 87 high school boys’ volleyball tournament.

Antonio, an 18-year-old volleyball player from Pasig, secured the MVP and 1st Best Outside Spiker plums after leading the tournament in scoring, notching 180 points while sporting a 49% attacking efficiency.

The 6-foot-0 joined Michael Reyes (Season 71), Morrissey Garcia (Season 72), Kim Relcopan (Season 73), Edward Camposano (Seasons 74-76), Ron Medalla (Season 77), and Shaun Ledesma (Season 78) as the seventh MVP for UE.

Aside from his impressive scoring output, Antonio flexed his agility as the league’s fifth-best receiver with a 31.39% efficiency.

Antonio’s teammate, Clarence John Gianan, also made his mark as the 2nd Best Middle Blocker with 0.58 blocks per set for the Recto-based squad.

The Junior Warriors finished second runner-up this season with an 11-3 win-loss record.

"They stuck with the game plan from the first quarter, then second quarter kami lumamang talaga," he added.

Mesina led the Recto-based squad with 19 markers, three rebounds, and five assists, while Pascual chipped in 12 points and three rebounds.

Jared Ferreros, Neil Garcia, and Gab Delos Reyes also contributed to the squad's winning effort, tallying 11 points apiece.

The Junior Warriors are now waiting for the last finals cast in the upcoming do-or-die game between UST and FEU-D on Sunday, December 8, at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.

‘IMPEACH SARA DUTERTE’

University of the East (UE) student-led groups have voiced support to the first-ever impeachment complaint slapped against Vice President Sara Duterte.

UE-Caloocan Central Student Council, UE-Manila College of Business Administration Student Council, and political party Kaisa joined over 100 student groups and individuals in the ongoing call to have Duterte removed from office.

Last Monday, December 2, various sectoral groups filed before the House of Representatives’ Office of the Secretary General the first impeachment rap against Duterte.

The 50-page impeachment complaint was crafted by civil society organizations, religious leaders, sectoral representatives, and families of victims of extrajudicial killings, and endorsed by Akbayan Partylist Representative Percival Cendaña.

The complainants cited culpable violations of the Constitution, graft and corruption, bribery, betrayal of public trust, and other high crimes as grounds for the incumbent vice president’s impeachment.

The issues raised against Duterte included her failure to properly account for the public funds for the Office of the Vice President and Department of Education, betrayal of public trust by abandoning her duties during a calamity, failure to address Chinese aggression in the West Philippine Sea, and public threats against top officials, among others.

“Her tenure as both Vice President and Secretary of DepEd has been riddled with gross negligence, inefficiency, and a pattern of misuse of public funds that have compounded and heightened even further the country’s education crisis and undermined public trust in government institutions,” the groups, spearheaded by the Student Council Alliance of the Philippines, stressed.

“The Alliance calls on the Congress of the Philippines to conduct a fair, transparent, and expeditious investigation into the allegations against Vice President Duterte. She must answer to the Filipino youth whose lives and futures have been adversely affected by her decisions,” they added.

Another impeachment case against Duterte was filed by progressive groups, led by Bagong Alyansang Makabayan, earlier today, December 4.

The second complaint was endorsed by Kabataan Partylist Representative Raoul Manuel, Gabriela Women’s Party Representative Arlene Brosas, and ACT Teachers Partylist Representative France Castro.

VIRAL UE STUDENT-RIDER AMONG INSPIRING FILIPINOS HONORED IN ABS-CBN CHRISTMAS ID

Warrior student-rider John Vastile Ambrosio has been featured in this year’s ABS-CBN Christmas Station ID.

Ambrosio, a UE-Caloocan Electrical Engineering student, is among the “ordinary Filipinos with inspiring stories” honored in the media network’s Christmas ID.

In the station ID, Ambrosio shared what being a breadwinner means to him, pointing out that it is about putting the needs of others before your own.

“Para sa akin, ang breadwinner ay ‘yong kayang unahin ang pangangailangan ng iba kaysa sarili niya,” the UE student-rider said.

“Gusto ko lang sana na magtiwala lang ‘yong nanay ko sa’kin na lahat ng problema namin, malulutas namin,” he added.

To recall, Ambrosio went viral after a photo of him wearing his Angkas uniform during class circulated online.

The Warrior student earned the admiration of thousands of netizens for his hard work and dedication in balancing his studies with a side job as a rider to fund his education.

According to ABS-CBN Head of Creative Communication Management Robert Labayen, this year’s Christmas Station ID celebrates the “inspiring lives of ordinary Filipinos who faced various difficulties yet remained kind and still stood strong.”

“Tungkol ito sa mga karaniwang tao na may magagandang kuwento. Talagang 'di natin mapigilan ma-honor ang mga kuwento nila. Lalo na ngayon, sunod-sunod ang bagyo, so hino-honor natin ang mga Pilipino na lumalaban sa ano mang bagyo ng buhay," Labayen emphasized.

BAYAN KO, ‘DI PA TAPOS ANG LABAN MO ✊🏼

With a renewed demand for change, multi-sectoral groups marched towards Mendiola to commemorate the 161st birth anniversary of revolutionary hero Andres Bonifacio, November 30.

The groups called for a nationwide wage increase, lower prices of goods, job security, and an end to political dynasties, among others.

More than a commemoration, the Bonifacio Day mobilization served as a stark reminder of the continuing fight for equity and liberation in modern-day Philippines.

BOUNCE BACK EASTRONGER NEXT SEASON, RED WARRIORS! 🔴⚪️

After a scorching performance in the first round, the University of the East (UE) Red Warriors faced a harsh reality with a heartbreaking finish to their campaign in the UAAP Season 87 men’s basketball tournament.

The Red Warriors fell painstakingly short of ending a 15-year Final Four drought as they collapsed against the Adamson Soaring Falcons, 55-68, in their knockout playoff on Wednesday, November 27, at the Mall of Asia Arena.

Despite a promising start in the first quarter where they established an eight-point lead with 6:22 to go, 10-2, the Warrior cagers struggled to keep up with the defense of the Soaring Falcons.

The Red Warriors’ offensive struggles continued as the San Marcelino-based squad matched them basket-for-basket and fended off their comeback attempt.

Fate seemed to work against the Recto-based squad as Nigerian big man Precious Momowei collided mid-air with Adamson’s Mathew Montebon in the payoff period, leading to him being stretchered off the court.

UE also shot poorly from the field with only 32.3% compared to Adamson’s 41.3%.

The Red Warriors’ struggles were even more pronounced at the free-throw line, where they converted only 46.2%, a stark contrast to the Soaring Falcons' 90%.

Team captain Jack Cruz-Dumont left everything on the floor in his last game for UE, spearheading the team with 15 points, four rebounds, and four assists.

Rainer Maga and John Abate each tallied 10 points, while Momowei delivered a double-double with 10 points and 11 rebounds before being stretchered off the court.

Ethan Galang and Gjerard Wilson also played their final UAAP game.

The Jack Santiago-led Red Warriors wrapped up their season at fifth place with a 6-9 win-loss record—including the playoff loss to the Soaring Falcons.

BOX SCORES:

UE 55 — J. Cruz-Dumont 15, Momowei 10, Abate 10, Maga 10, Fikes 9, Lingolingo 1

AdU 68 — Manzano 17, Montebon 13, Yerro 7, Mantua 6, Anabo 5, Erolon 5, Fransman 5, Ojarikre 4, Ramos 3, Alexander 3

QUARTER SCORES: 10-16, 30-39, 40-52, 55-68

‘GO HARD LANG PALAGI, WALANG MAGIGING COMPLACENT’ There is no room for complacency for the UE Red Warriors as they tighten their grip on a Final Four spot in the UAAP Season 87 men’s basketball tournament. Sharpshooter Wello Lingolingo shared how they are maintaining their focus to achieve their goal of advancing into the elusive Final Four. “Gano’n pa rin, gawin namin ‘yung routine namin sa practice.
