Lasallians celebrate UAAP victories

ANIMO PARTY. The DLSU Senior Men’s Basketball Team bonds with the crowd in a night of fun and celebration. Students, faculty, alumni, and friends show their unity as they bask in the glory of the UAAP victories.

In a show of great Lasallian pride and animo, some 2,000 students, faculty, alumni, and friends joined in the celebration of the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) victories dubbed, “The Ultimate Animo Party,” last October 11 at the Amphitheater and Sports Plaza.

The Lasallian community celebrated the varsity teams’ victories in the first half of the annual inter-school athletic meet, including a grand slam championship for the men’s basketball team, a back-to-back title for the women’s basketball team, a back-to-back championship for the men’s chess team, and a first time championship title for the men’s table tennis team.

The celebrations kicked off with a Thanksgiving Mass held at the Chapel of the Most Blessed Sacrament. This was followed by a motorcade along Kalaw-Roxas Boulevard-Vito Cruz.

At 6 p.m., the revelers had a salo-salo at the Marian Quadrangle, and watched a program hosted by Studio 23 at the Amphitheater. The champion teams then led the Lasallian community for a bonfire at 8 p.m. A dance party followed at the Sports Plaza.
