The San Beda-Letran post game brawl
2,627 Views | 41 Comments
In the aftermath of NCAA senior game between San Beda and Letran game last Friday at the Big Dome, hell broke loose.
Fans of both schools, calling each other names, threw popcorns, soft drinks, fries and even ice teas showing their displeasure after the game.
Where is the love? You might be smiling or laughing because that phrase is a title of a song. But I’m serious.
Thier respective fans even engaged in a fistfight, running around the areas of the Araneta Coliseum. Now you can call a La Salle-Ateneo rivalry history, maybe forgotten.
San Beda fans, by my side just near the Letran bench, were booing the Knights and even castigating them with unsympathetic words during the game.
The Letran fans, however, retaliated too. Of course a normal reaction.
We are only human. The law of Karma will take over. It’s a vicious cycle of i hurt you, you hurt them and you hurt me.
Late in the game, some fans of San Beda were booing and insulting the Letran team were one of the coaching staff reacted.
Mel Alas, the brother of Knights’ head coach Louie, also a former Adamson University and Las Piñas College mentor, was the coaching staff I’m referring to. He was pacified by his elder brother Louie and asked him to let it go.
After the game, Mel was insulted and even challenged by that certain San Beda fan. But he never listened to his brother. He tried to confront the fan but madness broke out from the stands. That even sparked the commotion between the fans from both schools.
Fr. Mateo De Jesus, president of San Beda College, called upon his fellow Bedans to calm down.
Some Bedans listened but didn’t.
The action resumed until those wide bodied Araneta security guards used their brute strength to separate the Letran and San Beda fans.
After five to 10 minutes, the Management Committee Chairman of host JRU Paul Supan and Henry Atayde of Saint Benilde went immediately to the press room to express their sympathy to the ugly turn of events.
They said they already got the list of the people involved and they will be banned for the rest of the season. They did not mention any single name. But anyway, let’s wait for further investigation.
Let’s stop fighting, let’s watch and support our team peacefully. Just a personal friendly reminder from us.

so you’re really monitoring my posts then? im cool but i would i would suggest one do not apologize at all, especially if one’s statements are mixed up with different degrees of sarcasms and tirades in between soft words. its bordering on hypocrisy.
whoever said we’re always the best? we are a humble lot. but some of us tend to go wild(sometimes to the point of being too way out of line) when really pushed to the limit.
btw, those pictures you’re telling me, i dont see reasons why your school will have pictures of our players of the 20’s? we do have it here but i was wanting to have more. guess what you have are national team pictures and ncaa school teams pictures? thanks anyway.
long live ncaa!

yer, mmorabilias, mater, wat, skul… now, you’re on a texting mode?
no longer keep memorabilias? who told you so? do not just read the post. understand it. its your incoherent statement that confuses me :-)
abalos not guilty? duh…
wish wer in the uaap? - corny. forgettable. you need more than that to make a difference.
shame on me? dude, you’re the one who instigate this. this thread is about to die when you came along. i only bash when san beda is bashed. everything i posted were in defense. did you see me post anti-jru remarks? none till you decided to become a smart alec.. you seems so affected. it does not even concern your school. o bka naman ikaw yung san beda basher dito who have used different alternicks.

yer right we joined in 1928 so isnt it a shame that the so called ‘founding members’no longer keep those mmorabilias? and your burjer doesnt make sense ither coz abalos will NEVER be proven guilty even if you send all your “great” bedan lawyers in the senate. guilty of poor pronunciation maybe.
doesnt mater wat skul wer coming from, wer filipinos; basketball, showbiz, politics. that, for sure, wer all guilty of. and oh i heard your coming up wit a new slogan- “wish wer in the uaap after 83″. shame on you.

carlos santana major dude: be goons and “s� like them and maintain ur class? doesnt make sense. that was months ago so anyway if you want some 20s ncaa pics visit the jru athletics dep they will welcome you there. as long as you ‘maintain your class’
good english you have there! btw, kalentong hopia university is not a founding ncaa member. you must be mistaken. i heard you also have a new slogan for season 84:
“ME HOPIA NA, ME BURJER PA!” why? Go figure.

sorry mike. that was posted a few months ago. i had my reasons for fighting back if attacked. but as you said, we’ll just ignore the bashers. this is a dead thread anyways.
btw, do you know if san beda have more pictures of the lions during the earlier times, 20’s, 30’s, 40’s and 50’s which we can post? i remember seeing a number of them in the 70’s cub recorder. i have seen borck, rius, loyzaga … but i want to see more of the 1920’s pix.
