Tiger Booters target Season 67 crown
THE UST Lady Booters are sporting a more mature lineup, and that is making head coach Jade Bejemino even more optimistic that his 17-man roster has a better shot at the championship this season.

“I never really wanted to leave UST,” the 24-year-old Iligan City native recalls. “When I got drafted by Red Bull, I thought I could still play out my last year in the UAAP like Don Allado did with La Salle, but the rules changed so I had to make a choice.”
The decision stirred up a controversy. He received a lot of criticisms about his departure, but he’d rather not mind the issue.
UST registers satisfactory showing in UniGames
THE UST delegation in the University Games did not quite enjoy a very successful stint, but the performance was nonetheless satisfactory.
“Some teams performed beyond expectation,” said Felix Michael Silbor, Institute of Physical Education and Athletics (IPEA) moderator.

After exciting runs in the eliminations, UST fumbled in what proved to be their last and most crucial game of the season.

At the age of 15, she has made heads turn with her dazzlingly inventive new sound: elegant classical violin fused with eclectic modern stylings, which made her debut album The Violin Player a worldwide smash.
