Hail San Beda, hail the NCAA

Sanity finally prevailed.
I’m very satisfied to hear last August 28, that San Beda initiated a public apology to its fellow NCAA member schools for camaraderie and brotherhood of the oldest collegiate basketball league.
Congratulations to the Policy Board Chairman and JRU President Vincent Fabella and other school members for accepting San Beda’s apology, initiated by none other than its President Fr. Mateo De Jesus.
San Beda was among the founding members of the NCAA which started way back in 1924. It was an unselfish act and a true professional Catholic institution. Here’s some wine glass for you father.
If all our political leaders will be like Father De Jesus, I’m sure there would be peace and progress in the country.
Whoever cast the first stone, whether San Beda or the NCAA Man Com or the NCAA Policy Board, the San Beda rector threw back bread. He let somebody slap his face then offer the other cheek.
Though no official recommendation from his fellow Policy Board members, De Jesus had ordered the Red Lions not to allow Aljamal play in San Beda’s remaining elimination round games as peace offering.
Everybody was satisfied during the ABS CBN’s press conference at the ELJ building last August 28, when San Beda and the NCAA shook hands for bringing the game back to where it really belongs - basketball court - and not in the court room.
I’m sure this is a great challenge for Frankie Lim, the Red Lions mentor, and San Beda when they meet Perpetual and Letran without starting forward Aljamal.
But I know San Beda will stay competitive, with Bam Gamalinda, Rogemar Menor, Raymond Maggay and Dave Marcelo expecting to fill the shoes of Aljamal.
Well, everybody has learned its lesson well. I hope we did learn something from this experience. The action initiated by all parties is a good example.

ateneo-lasalle, walang karapatan sa term na ANIMO.
SAN BEDA lang unang gumamit nyan. kaya lang naging elite ang la salle at admu ay dahil ginamit nila ang ANIMO term na pinasikat ng San Beda College.
bottomline, San Beda ang may karapatan
THe first ELITE school in the country.
isa akong elite bedan, ELITE as in “ELITERATE” haha!

@hail
your comment just show how som of you Bedans desperately want to seek recognition.
Pathetic. Kasi kami, hindi na kami kailangan ng magsabi ng pampapansin.
How uncivilized of you to base a school’s rise on the rankings just because of a WORD?! Wow, now I really see how you people are educated.
Ateneo and Lasalle are elite schools because of their achievements, alumni and empirical records.
By the way, UST and Ateneo and UP were way of San Beda before Beda became elite. Sadly your “elite” claim didn’t last long. Pathetic.

ANIMO is a SPANISH term which means “Have Courage”
San Beda is a SPANISH name(St. Bede)
and La Salle is an IRISH name
so, which school should use the ANIMO? the SPANISH or the IRISH?

I made a personal research on the word “ANIMO� and its association to schools here in the Philippines. The dates are a bit confusing. Both Ateneo and San Beda can claim that battlecry as early as the 1940s, but the much-hyped game coverage of the UAAP today made viewers and basketball enthusiast or an ordinary audience associate ANIMO to La Salle.
Last Sunday’s match showcased the battle of owning the ANIMO yell. Both sides have their banners saying ANIMO. In an Ateneo site, a writer made a comment on a DLSU banner saying “THE REAL ANIMO!�
The phrase manifests that other schools can claim the ANIMO battlecry.
However, La Salle marketed the ANIMO battlecry very well, thanks to the emergence of the new media (e.g. friendster where Lasallians use ANIMO LA SALLE in their profile headlines, below-the-line materials like t-shirts and jackets using the word ANIMO) and the press coverage that pushed the audiences to believe that ANINO is for DLSU. They regularly use the D.L.S.U. ANIMO LA SALLE!!! cheer. You can see ANIMO on their website, on their notebooks, course/batch shirts, caps, and other small marketing collaterals. The bookstore inside the Bro. Connon hall bleeds ANIMO. They just released a new set of designs for the ANIMO jackets and shirts. Olympic Village stores have shirts with the ANIMO LA SALLE battlecry and that’s with a well written press release in a major newspaper. SM Department Store at once released an ANIMO La Salle shirt, and worst, even in Divisoria. The La Salle brand is somewhat tainted because of that, overused and often abused. Even in a DLSU sex video #5, the guy mentioned the phrase “ANIMO LA SALLE�.
Some alumni use ANIMO as a password to their career growth. The successful products of DLSU reminds his or her staff that ANIMO is for La Salle at the start of the school year for their sons and daughters, the opening of the UAAP, the basketball matches, the finals, the graduation season and even during that boring and long-stretched Friday evening meetings.
No other school dared, as of this time, to match up that strategy and produce massive numbers of marketing collaterals screaming the word ANIMO than La Salle. I never saw a bulk of ADMU or SBC printed shirt with SCREAMING ANIMO ON IT. Maybe I saw some from SBC and ADMU wearing their school’s ANIMO shirt strolling around the Gateway Mall, but nothing can match the competition and the production DLSU made to nail the ANIMO battlecry as their own.
Sports marketing are really an effective tool to strengthen the brand. The success of Samsung/Siemens (their presence in every sporting event) and Nike/Adidas as a global brand was because of the success of their sports marketing campaign. Similar to that of DLSU, the ANIMO battlecry became famous because of La Salle’s effective marketing of the word during the games and outside the hard court. The constant and unending ANIMO cheer made De La Salle University synonymous to that.
I saw someone posted the originally issues of the school’s cheer. I think, nothing can beat the somewhat jologs but very unique and very Filipino cheer. Just ask me for the lyrics.

topmil nuj,
Its a good thing your parents allow you to use the internet. Children like you should not be given that privelege.
Its easy to find me cos I have a picture here and I will definitely be in green on the La Salle side.
Why dont you just bend over and lick ur ass so you know how your face tastes.

Atom,
I was not there and dont know the details. But I have already written 2 articles about the lack of proper decorum by both leagues. In fact I suggested that the Samahan Baskeball ng Pilipinas take over the basketball management of both leagues.
