A compilation of my tweets on the most anticipated event of the season. Here's the 2018 UAAP Cheerdance Competition in 280 characters (max).

Wow. Trending already. #UAAPCDC2018 pic.twitter.com/ax1fIhs1hq

— Che. (@chegeronimo) November 17, 2018

Okay. Here we go. Cheerleader mode on. #UAAPCDC2018

— Che. (@chegeronimo) November 17, 2018

These courtside reporters though.

Promise hindi ako tatawa, promise. #UAAPCDC2018

— Che. (@chegeronimo) November 17, 2018

Dali naman. Inaantok na ako. #UAAPCDC2018

— Che. (@chegeronimo) November 17, 2018

Ah, the pressures of being the first performers. That was, um, interesting, UE Pep. #UAAPCDC2018

— Che. (@chegeronimo) November 17, 2018

Let me just say, we all feelin' the pinch, eh? #UAAPCDC2018 https://t.co/Ra3kHoT5xZ

— Che. (@chegeronimo) November 17, 2018

Am I the only one who cringes whenever I see people doing the finger heart thingy? #UAAPCDC2018

— Che. (@chegeronimo) November 17, 2018

That moment when the pyramid wasn't completed perfectly, heartbreaking. Great dancing though, UP Pep Squad. #UAAPCDC2018

— Che. (@chegeronimo) November 17, 2018

It wasn't devoid of errors but UST Salinggawi, that was spectacular! #UAAPCDC2018

— Che. (@chegeronimo) November 17, 2018

We out here slaying Saturday Twitter. #UAAPCDC2018 pic.twitter.com/4iVozBv7pv

— Che. (@chegeronimo) November 17, 2018

Audience participation saves this one for the Animo Squad. Better luck next time? #UAAPCDC2018

— Che. (@chegeronimo) November 17, 2018

Nationalians talaga? Really? Okay. #UAAPCDC2018

— Che. (@chegeronimo) November 17, 2018

Guess who just slayed #UAAPCDC2018? NU Pep Squad, that's who.

— Che. (@chegeronimo) November 17, 2018

This is so in the bag. Way to go, NU! #UAAPCDC2018

— Che. (@chegeronimo) November 17, 2018

That was nice and pretty, Blue Babble Battalion, but I'm afraid we all haven't recovered from the last performers. Sorry. #UAAPCDC2018

— Che. (@chegeronimo) November 17, 2018

Okay, it's only now I'm realizing it's Babble, not Bubble. Sorry, Ateneo. My bad. #UAAPCDC2018

— Che. (@chegeronimo) November 17, 2018

That was refreshing, FEU Cheering Squad. Not enough to challenge NU for the top spot but good enough to rattle UST and UP. Good luck, judges! #UAAPCDC2018

— Che. (@chegeronimo) November 17, 2018

That fall though. The whole of NU heaved a sigh of relief. "We got this!" #UAAPCDC2018

— Che. (@chegeronimo) November 17, 2018

Good effort from the Adamson Pep Squad. #UAAPCDC2018

— Che. (@chegeronimo) November 17, 2018

I have said this in 2015 and I will say this again this 2018. The problem starts when they try to challenge themselves with more. They tend to bite more than they can chew. Then they fail. #UAAPCDC2018

— Che. (@chegeronimo) November 17, 2018

Just putting it out here for #UAAPCDC2018. https://t.co/P8wD4yCuxO

— Che. (@chegeronimo) November 17, 2018

Mahirap na po talaga ang buhay sa Pinas. Kahit ang UAAP Cheerdance apektado. #UAAPCDC2018 pic.twitter.com/7pIxgqcJNC

— Che. (@chegeronimo) November 17, 2018

Congratulations to the NU Pep Squad, FEU Cheering Squad, and the Adamson Pep Squad for winning the Group Stunts competition. Well done, teams! #UAAPCDC2018

— Che. (@chegeronimo) November 17, 2018

Big congratulations to the same teams, NU Pep Squad, FEU Cheering Squad, and Adamson Pep Squad for making it to the podium of #UAAPCDC2018!

— Che. (@chegeronimo) November 17, 2018

Well done, NU Pep! Champions once again! Congrats! #UAAPCDC2018

— Che. (@chegeronimo) November 17, 2018

Still trending, huh? @ABSCBNNewsSport #UAAPCDC2018 pic.twitter.com/siVWQ0CUck

There you have it, the UAAP Season 81 Cheerdance Competition. See you all next year!

Cheerdance 2017 Notes

A compilation of my tweets on the most anticipated event of the season. Here's the 2017 UAAP Cheerdance Competition in 280 characters (max).

Okay, here we go. Cheer mode on. #UAAPCDC2017

— Che. (@chegeronimo) December 2, 2017

Is it just me or this opening cheer segment by the courtside reporters is really the most cringeworthy thing ever on national TV? It's like saying, "okay, let the bashing begin." #UAAPCDC2017

— Che. (@chegeronimo) December 2, 2017

Too much energy can kill you. Hurting my ears, to be honest. #UAAPCDC2017

— Che. (@chegeronimo) December 2, 2017

Sorry, #NUPepSquad, I don't think number five is happening. Too fast-paced. Everybody seems to be scrambling at some point. But the second part is really nice to watch. #UAAPCDC2017

— Che. (@chegeronimo) December 2, 2017

Um, this is, um... simple? The #DLSUAnimoSquad played it safe. Too safe. #UAAPCDC2017

— Che. (@chegeronimo) December 2, 2017

Wow, #AdamsonPepSquad, that was something. It wasn't as flawless to ensure a podium finish at this point of the competition but it was good. You did good. #UAAPCDC2017

— Che. (@chegeronimo) December 2, 2017

It's truly sad when a failed pyramid ruins a good performance. I feel you, #FEUCheeringSquad. #UAAPCDC2017

— Che. (@chegeronimo) December 2, 2017

Did the courtside reporters write their own spiels? They're interesting. #UAAPCDC2017

— Che. (@chegeronimo) December 2, 2017

Can you finally make me proud, #UEPepSquad? #UAAPCDC2017

— Che. (@chegeronimo) December 2, 2017

Whoa! #UEPepSquad, I actually feel like a proud mom. You did great this time. #UAAPCDC2017

— Che. (@chegeronimo) December 2, 2017

Signature fighting spirit? There is such a thing? #UAAPCDC2017

— Che. (@chegeronimo) December 2, 2017

Welcome back to the #UAAPCDC2017, #UPPepSquad! Maybe it's just me but the hype of being back translates to some kind of pressure. I miss the difficult routine with the effortless performance by the whole squad.

— Che. (@chegeronimo) December 2, 2017

It wasn't as clean but the pyramids were awesome. It's almost like having my old #USTSalinggawiDanceTroupe back. #UAAPCDC2017

— Che. (@chegeronimo) December 2, 2017

That was actually good, #AteneoBlueBubbleBattalion. I am surprised. No offense. Some falls, yes, but you did better as expected. Again, no offense. #UAAPCDC2017

— Che. (@chegeronimo) December 2, 2017

It's not that I hate it but I don't particularly like it when other teams include another team's signature move in their routine. But it's just me. #UAAPCDC2017

— Che. (@chegeronimo) December 2, 2017

I haven't been to a live UAAP game in nine years. I miss the cheering and the drums to be perfectly honest. The PBA has its own brand of cheers and most of them I don't like hearing. #UAAPCDC2017

— Che. (@chegeronimo) December 2, 2017

Nagmamadali na si @gretchenho. Gusto na yatang umuwi. Traffic na. #UAAPCDC2017

— Che. (@chegeronimo) December 2, 2017

We all did that. #UAAPCDC2017 pic.twitter.com/TMckae8RQw

— Che. (@chegeronimo) December 2, 2017

What's taking so long? This long break is making me entertain cooking conspiracies. #UAAPCDC2017

— Che. (@chegeronimo) December 2, 2017

Third! Wow! Back at the podium, eh? #UAAPCDC2017 https://t.co/YW6X67Fl4l

— Che. (@chegeronimo) December 2, 2017

Runner-up! My old Gawi's back! #UAAPCDC2017 https://t.co/UbLspfrY7T

— Che. (@chegeronimo) December 2, 2017

Champion! Wow! Congratulations, you guys! #UAAPCDC2017 https://t.co/yCC6EOLdl1

— Che. (@chegeronimo) December 2, 2017

Less errors, less mistakes. Simplicity is big this year. That's the story of #UAAPCDC2017. Congratulations to all the winners!

— Che. (@chegeronimo) December 2, 2017

Wow! #UAAPCDC2017

— Che. (@chegeronimo) December 2, 2017

Group Stunts winners are FEU Cheering Squad, Adamson Pep Squad, and UP Pep Squad. Congratulations everyone! To the other schools who missed the podium this year, there's always the next. 

Cheers to all the cheerleaders in today's competition. You're amazing, all of you.

The @Jollibee Chi-Cheer Kayo Challenge! Yay! #UAAPCDC2016https://t.co/QbMU159rnJ

— Che (@chegeronimo) November 19, 2016

Okay, boys and girls, cheer mode on! #UAAPCDC79 #UAAPCDC2016

— Che (@chegeronimo) November 19, 2016

Why are we using two different tags, may I ask? #UAAPCDC79 #UAAPCDC2016

— Che (@chegeronimo) November 19, 2016

Wait. Where's @gamedaywithboom? #UAAPCDC79 #UAAPCDC2016

— Che (@chegeronimo) November 19, 2016

Welcome back to the UAAP, @gretsfullido! #UAAPCDC79 #UAAPCDC2016

— Che (@chegeronimo) November 19, 2016

Wow. The judges' box has gone international. Parang United Nations General Assembly. ✌ #UAAPCDC79 #UAAPCDC2016

— Che (@chegeronimo) November 19, 2016

Those sponsor's logo prints on the mat are pretty annoying to look at. #UAAPCDC79 #UAAPCDC2016

— Che (@chegeronimo) November 19, 2016

Level up, Animo Squad! Refreshing to watch. That was cool, the other schools in your routine. Nice! #UAAPCDC79 #UAAPCDC2016

— Che (@chegeronimo) November 19, 2016

I'm sorry but I'm so tired of the PUSO bit. Wala na bang bago? #UAAPCDC79 #UAAPCDC2016

— Che (@chegeronimo) November 19, 2016

Gawi, you've always been the best dancers of the lot. It wasn't the most solid performance but PAK! You rock! #UAAPCDC79 #UAAPCDC2016

— Che (@chegeronimo) November 19, 2016

This is too painful to watch, BBB. #UAAPCDC79 #UAAPCDC2016

— Che (@chegeronimo) November 19, 2016

Hope everyone's okay though. Physically. #UAAPCDC79 #UAAPCDC2016

— Che (@chegeronimo) November 19, 2016

That was really entertaining, FEU. You nailed it with the theme. #UAAPCDC79 #UAAPCDC2016

— Che (@chegeronimo) November 19, 2016

Wow, Adamson! I think you have a very big chance of making it to the podium this year. #UAAPCDC79 #UAAPCDC2016

— Che (@chegeronimo) November 19, 2016

Aw. A marriage proposal. Cheers all around! #UAAPCDC79 #UAAPCDC2016

— Che (@chegeronimo) November 19, 2016

You started strong and you made me very proud, UE. It just didn't go well in the middle. You all are real troopers. #UAAPCDC79 #UAAPCDC2016

— Che (@chegeronimo) November 19, 2016

I think NU has this in the bag. #UAAPCDC79 #UAAPCDC2016

— Che (@chegeronimo) November 19, 2016

Who knew you can find the best gymnasts of this competition in the heart of Sampaloc? #UAAPCDC79 #UAAPCDC2016

— Che (@chegeronimo) November 19, 2016

Those who fell, twisted an ankle, or pulled a muscle, go find some ice. Better yet, get checked by your team doc. #UAAPCDC79 #UAAPCDC2016

— Che (@chegeronimo) November 19, 2016

I pity the Star Magic talent to co-host this next year. Having @gretsfullido now just took it to another level. #UAAPCDC79 #UAAPCDC2016

— Che (@chegeronimo) November 19, 2016

Kudos to @AlyssaValdez2 for doing a good job. Sticking to the language she's most comfortable with did the trick. 👍 #UAAPCDC79 #UAAPCDC2016

— Che (@chegeronimo) November 19, 2016

I miss @gamedaywithboom but @NikkoRMS did good as replacement. I just thought he was @robertmarion at first. ✌ #UAAPCDC79 #UAAPCDC2016

— Che (@chegeronimo) November 19, 2016

See, I told you they'd make it to the podium. Good job, Adamson! #UAAPCDC79 #UAAPCDC2016

— Che (@chegeronimo) November 19, 2016

Let's go to Broadway, FEU! Congrats! I did say you nailed it. Ha! 🙅🙆🙇 #UAAPCDC79 #UAAPCDC2016

— Che (@chegeronimo) November 19, 2016

Wow! 4-peat! Super mega sale na sa SM! Yes! Congratulations, NU! #UAAPCDC2016 #UAAPCDC2016

This is why I need that EDIT button, Twitter!

Reviewing my tweets. I got them all three. Ha! I'm a UAAP Cheerdance freak! #UAAPCDC79 #UAAPCDC2016

My heart goes out to my beloved Gawi. Next year you come out stronger and better. No way but up. Remember that. #UAAPCDC79 #UAAPCDC2016

To my alma mater, you were warriors out there. See you next year. #UAAPCDC79 #UAAPCDC2016

Cheerdance 2015 Notes

A compilation of my tweets on the most anticipated event of the season. Here's the 2015 UAAP Cheerdance Competition in 140 characters (max).

Frustrated cheerleader mode on. #UAAPCDC2015

— Che (@chegeronimo) October 3, 2015

Gigil pa more! #UAAPCDC2015

— Che (@chegeronimo) October 3, 2015

Define energy. #UAAPCDC2015

— Che (@chegeronimo) October 3, 2015

UP Pep Squad

Um, requirement ba ang ❤? #UAAPCDC2015

— Che (@chegeronimo) October 3, 2015

It wasn't as clean and as perfect as in years past but they had some wow moments. Very un-UP Pep Squad though, those misses. #UAAPCDC2015

— Che (@chegeronimo) October 3, 2015

DLSU Animo Squad

That gave me a headache. I guess I'm not the rock and roll type. #UAAPCDC2015

— Che (@chegeronimo) October 3, 2015

That was really interesting, Animo Squad. Interesting. That's all I can say. #UAAPCDC2015

— Che (@chegeronimo) October 3, 2015

Ateneo Blue Bubble Battalion

One word. Tanked. #UAAPCDC2015

— Che (@chegeronimo) October 3, 2015

They weren't good dancers nor good gymnasts either. What were they thinking doing a routine with that level of difficulty? #UAAPCDC2015

— Che (@chegeronimo) October 3, 2015

NU Pep Squad

It was pretty engaging. Truly. I was hanging on to every toss and flip. #UAAPCDC2015

— Che (@chegeronimo) October 3, 2015

I like it when a squad sticks to simple stunts, then concentrates on perfecting them for a flawless performance. #UAAPCDC2015

— Che (@chegeronimo) October 3, 2015

The problem starts when they try to challenge themselves with more. They tend to bite more than they can chew. Then they fail. #UAAPCDC2015

— Che (@chegeronimo) October 3, 2015

UE Pep Squad

In fairness, UE Pep, that was a hell lot better than I expected of you. You. Surprised. Me! Isn't it amazing? #UAAPCDC2015

— Che (@chegeronimo) October 3, 2015

Adamson Pep Squad

Good dancers, this Adamson squad. A little more polishing here and there, and they will be up there in the podium every year. #UAAPCDC2015

— Che (@chegeronimo) October 3, 2015

FEU Cheering Squad

So puso talaga? #UAAPCDC2015

— Che (@chegeronimo) October 3, 2015

"Ay, puso ba 'yon? #UAAPCDC2015"

FEU got the moves, and the skills. Too bad with those errors though. #UAAPCDC2015

— Che (@chegeronimo) October 3, 2015

"Puso na naman? Valentine's? #UAAPCDC2015"

UST Salinggawi Dance Troupe

Oh, wow! This is spectacular, Gawi! Amazing performance! Super flawless! #UAAPCDC2015

— Che (@chegeronimo) October 3, 2015

You made me cry, Gawi. You're back! Old formula is magic. Daanin lang sa sayaw. Because it's what you do best. Good job! #UAAPCDC2015

— Che (@chegeronimo) October 3, 2015

Nothing's wrong with keeping it simple, and safe. Why complicate a routine with stunts you have trouble executing perfectly? #UAAPCDC2015

— Che (@chegeronimo) October 3, 2015

Awards, prizes

The most dangerous job for a Star Magic artist: Hosting the UAAP Cheerdance Competition

— Che (@chegeronimo) October 3, 2015

The moment of truth. Here we go. #UAAPCDC2015

— Che (@chegeronimo) October 3, 2015

Oops. UP Pep Squad is this year's 2nd runner-up. #UAAPCDC2015

— Che (@chegeronimo) October 3, 2015

1st runner-up is the UST Salinggawi Dance Troupe. #UAAPCDC2015

— Che (@chegeronimo) October 3, 2015

NU! Wow! 3-peat! #UAAPCDC2015

— Che (@chegeronimo) October 3, 2015

The camera distance made it impossible for me to watch the cheerleaders up close and made me missed the painting job some teams did on their supposed to be joyful, smiling faces. Good thing though because they were definitely nightmare image material.

Congratulations to all the winners this year. Good job, all of you. To the losers, well, there's always next year! Cheers!

Cheerdance 2014 Notes

Annoying but entertaining, these courtside reporters. #UAAPCDC2014

— Che (@chegeronimo) September 14, 2014

Uh, Jessy... I have no words. #UAAPCDC2014

— Che (@chegeronimo) September 14, 2014

Too painful to watch, UE Pep. Your halftime performances are more enjoyable. So sad. #UAAPCDC2014

— Che (@chegeronimo) September 14, 2014

Practice, practice, practice. #UEPepSquad #UAAPCDC2014

— Che (@chegeronimo) September 14, 2014

And FEU reminds me why I didn't become a cheerleader. Hands on the wrong places. Gee. #UAAPCDC2014

— Che (@chegeronimo) September 14, 2014

Just when I thought they would all stay on their feet the whole routine, they didn't. #FEUCheeringSquad #UAAPCDC2014

— Che (@chegeronimo) September 14, 2014

Adieu, Jessy. #UAAPCDC2014

— Che (@chegeronimo) September 14, 2014

Galing, UP. With obvious demerits but still, galing! #UAAPCDC2014

— Che (@chegeronimo) September 14, 2014

I finally have them pegged. They absolutely have stronger bones than all the other teams. #UPPepSquad #UAAPCDC2014

— Che (@chegeronimo) September 14, 2014

Writer gaffes. Kanina pa. #UAAPCDC2014

— Che (@chegeronimo) September 14, 2014

Konti pa, UST. A little bit more and my old Gawi is back. #UAAPCDC2014

— Che (@chegeronimo) September 14, 2014

My theory about stronger bones is so true. More hours at the gym? #USTSalinggawiDanceTroupe #UAAPCDC2014

— Che (@chegeronimo) September 14, 2014

Always been a mystery to me. Ateneo has been cheering long before the other schools even thought of forming their own teams. #UAAPCDC2014

— Che (@chegeronimo) September 14, 2014

They surely have all the resources so why is it so hard to make it to that podium? #AteneoBlueBabbleBattalion #UAAPCDC2014

— Che (@chegeronimo) September 14, 2014

I wonder how many times they perfected their routine before today. Too complicated for La Salle. But, are those lightsabers? #UAAPCDC2014

— Che (@chegeronimo) September 14, 2014

Maybe next year? Again? Basketball na lang! #DeLaSalleAnimoSquad #UAAPCDC2014

— Che (@chegeronimo) September 14, 2014

Not bad, Adamson ha, not bad. You did better than what I expected of you. Cheers! #UAAPCDC2014

— Che (@chegeronimo) September 14, 2014

Surprise me next year? #AdamsonPepSquad #UAAPCDC2014

— Che (@chegeronimo) September 14, 2014

Wow. Kayo na, NU. Kayo na ang bagong cheering icon. Hang galing! Ibang level. Ang linis-linis ng performance. #UAAPCDC2014

— Che (@chegeronimo) September 14, 2014

Awesome performance. Can you let your neighbor borrow your coach? Please? #NUPepSquad #UAAPCDC2014

— Che (@chegeronimo) September 14, 2014

I find it hard to believe that half of the eight teams in this competition have similar ideas at some point in their routine. #UAAPCDC2014

— Che (@chegeronimo) September 14, 2014

Either someone is spying or some people are selling ideas to more than one team. That's so Bring it On. Uso pa pala? #UAAPCDC2014

— Che (@chegeronimo) September 14, 2014

Ano raw, pleyks? #UAAPCDC2014

— Che (@chegeronimo) September 14, 2014

The lady from Purefoods Hormel is wearing a dress that looks like an old UE Pep uniform. She wasn't warned? #UAAPCDC2014

— Che (@chegeronimo) September 14, 2014

Big, big congratulations to the NU Pep Squad for defending the crown, the UP Pep Squad for always introducing something new to the world of cheerdance, and to the UST Salinggawi Dance Troupe for making it back to the podium after years of absence. To the other teams, you did well, but you can always do better next year. Cheers to all of you!

Here we go! #UAAPCDC2013

When courtside reporters make "annoying to the highest level" your most abused term of the day. #UAAPCDC2013

Kamag-anak ba ng mga pusa, tigre, cheetah, atbp. ang tamaraw? What is the FEU courtside reporter's outfit all about? #UAAPCDC2013

— Che (@chegeronimo) September 15, 2013

FEU Cheering Squad and their gapang moves. Bow. #UAAPCDC2013

— Che (@chegeronimo) September 15, 2013

In fairness, ang funny mo, UP courtside reporter. #UAAPCDC2013

— Che (@chegeronimo) September 15, 2013

Um, UP Pep, hindi ako sanay makita kayong ganyan. Kulang kayo sa tulog? #UAAPCDC2013

— Che (@chegeronimo) September 15, 2013

Er, delikadong gumamit ng "burn" sa intro spiel, you know. #UAAPCDC2013

— Che (@chegeronimo) September 15, 2013

Sabi ko naman sa inyo matagal na, UE Pep. It's time to hire a new coach. #UAAPCDC2013

— Che (@chegeronimo) September 15, 2013

Pero explosive ang ending ha. Ah, that's the BURN? Ooh! #UAAPCDC2013

— Che (@chegeronimo) September 15, 2013

Aliw ako kay Alex. I want her back next year. #UAAPCDC2013

— Che (@chegeronimo) September 15, 2013

See, that's what a new coach does. Only the second year with the squad and it's been a complete 360. Animo La Salle! #UAAPCDC2013

— Che (@chegeronimo) September 15, 2013

Ang galing ng NU! #UAAPCDC2013

— Che (@chegeronimo) September 15, 2013

Congratulations to the NU Cheer Squadron, the UP Pep Squad, and the De La Salle Animo Squad for making the podium this year. To the other schools, there's always next year.

Cheerdance 2012 Notes

UAAP Cheerdance 2012 now on.

— Che (@chegeronimo) September 22, 2012

Oh, you, UE courtside reporter, you're too funny for words. University of the what?

— Che (@chegeronimo) September 22, 2012

Um, Ms Mendiola, I know it's Cheerdance not the Star Magic Ball but shouldn't you be in something a little more appropriate for the gig?

— Che (@chegeronimo) September 22, 2012

Ooh, Adamson, I like the sparkly pants. My mother is chuckling during your routine though, I don't know why.

— Che (@chegeronimo) September 22, 2012

One miss, DLSU, but aside from that, it was truly refreshing. You've come a long way from the old Animo Squad. A long, long way.

— Che (@chegeronimo) September 22, 2012

Love the Disney theme, NU! Cute! But I'm still no fan of men in white tights, just sayin'.

— Che (@chegeronimo) September 22, 2012

Gotta say, for her first hosting gig, Jessy is doing a fine job.

— Che (@chegeronimo) September 22, 2012

Competition-wise, FEU, you did good. But you always make me question what Cheerdance is all about. Must you stay on all fours most of it?

WTH, UE Pep. They did it last year!

— Che (@chegeronimo) September 22, 2012

I'm confused, UE Pep. I'm speechless. You really need a new coach.

— Che (@chegeronimo) September 22, 2012

UST Salinggawi has been lacking of the magic it used to have. The ballet bit never fails to amaze me but... it was just that now.

— Che (@chegeronimo) September 22, 2012

Cheerleaders in leather. Who would have thought? Only Ateneo.

— Che (@chegeronimo) September 22, 2012

Only the UP Pep Squad would pull something like this.

— Che (@chegeronimo) September 22, 2012

Oops. A girl fell. But dang, this is phenomenal.

— Che (@chegeronimo) September 22, 2012

Wow. NU wins third place.

— Che (@chegeronimo) September 22, 2012

FEU is second. And they aren't happy. Oh well.

— Che (@chegeronimo) September 22, 2012

UP Pep Squad wins 3-peat and their eight overall.

— Che (@chegeronimo) September 22, 2012

Congratulations to the winners and all the participants of the UAAP Cheerdance 2012. Next year ulit! On to the Final Four!

— Che (@chegeronimo) September 22, 2012

This year's winners are the UP Pep Squad, the FEU Cheering Squad, and the NU Cheer Squadron. UP truly is always a treat to watch but the biggest winner in my book is NU for barging in the top three for the first time in the history of the competition. Way to go!

Sardinas mode sa Araneta.

— Che (@chegeronimo) September 17, 2011

Ateneo always have the best costumes, the best themes and probably the best gymnasts in all of the UAAP but they always fall short.

— Che (@chegeronimo) September 17, 2011

Parang kulang sa praktis lagi.

— Che (@chegeronimo) September 17, 2011

UP makes cheerleading look real easy.

— Che (@chegeronimo) September 17, 2011

Gawi: Wala lang mode. Halftime performance?

— Che (@chegeronimo) September 17, 2011

I knew it. La Salle's routine was special this year.

— Che (@chegeronimo) September 17, 2011

"Oops. May laglag na naman."

"Congrats, UP Pep! Nag-iisa kayo!"

I've been watching the cheerdance competitions since its inception in 1994. I know a winning performance when I see one.

— Che (@chegeronimo) September 17, 2011

And I think I can differentiate spectacular from mediocre. I also know what wow means as opposed to okay.

— Che (@chegeronimo) September 17, 2011

Cheerdance replay on Balls. Might flood your timelines and news feeds. You have been warned.

— Che (@chegeronimo) September 17, 2011

My apologies to my alma mater but when was BOMBA, UE, IMA KADIGMA! first used? And what does it mean exactly?

— Che (@chegeronimo) September 17, 2011

Pirated ang video ng Adamson performance. Thank you, Studio 23. Parang commercial ng wireless internet ito.

— Che (@chegeronimo) September 17, 2011

Love the tutu, Adamson Pep.

— Che (@chegeronimo) September 17, 2011

The thing about using props and placards is there's always that 50 percent chance of holding up the thing and it's upside down. Oopsie.

I've always been in awe and so full of admiration of the BBB for daring to show their bellies even if they aren't belly dancing material.

— Che (@chegeronimo) September 17, 2011

NU has an almost perfect routine (with emphasis on almost) but lacking in the wow department. Maybe next year? You guys are almost there.

— Che (@chegeronimo) September 17, 2011

The best thing about UP Pep is they always seem to enjoy every toss, every throw, every twist, and every turn. No hint of nervousness.

— Che (@chegeronimo) September 17, 2011

What's with the Bollywood theme? This isn't Slumdog Millionaire's year, right?

— Che (@chegeronimo) September 17, 2011

FEU is well, FEU. Neither here nor there this year. They have always been seamless in their routines. What happened?

— Che (@chegeronimo) September 17, 2011

"Gawi is playing safe. Too much safeness. Lacking in oomph."

I don't even know where to begin with UE Pep. Ask for a bigger budget maybe? Trust me, it could get you somewhere.

— Che (@chegeronimo) September 17, 2011

Note to male cheerleaders: Couldn't you wear something underneath that will make something not visible to your audience? Distracting.

— Che (@chegeronimo) September 17, 2011

Congratulations to the UP Pep Squad, the DLSU Animo Squad, and the FEU Cheering Squad for topping this year's edition. More luck next time to the other five teams.
