    my parents chose it. why? to make me work harder i suppose. to me this is useless. i could do another course for what i want to do (medicine, like my parents). i feel like i am being punished.

    Bull****. STFU you stupid alt. LMAO Why would filipino parents who most likely is very old fashioned and most likely belong to socialite class in the philippines, allow their child to wipe ass?

    You have good taste. Most Americans of filipino descent I know are laid back about Pacquiao. They are proud of him as a fighter, but they arent all goofy and nerdy like their counterparts.

    An FEU student, who has Ateneo alumni family, and completely does not care about this 2010 UAAP National College Basketball championships, (FEU vs Ateneo De Manila University)

    sounds as weird as a Durham, North Carolina native, with Duke University alumni parents, but is now studying at NC State, and the kid does not care a single bit that Duke and NC State are in the NCAA Finals.

    And prefers to watch and support other college teams, rather than his home team.

    It just sounds weird.

    I dunno how this turned into a ateneo vs lasalle or whatever their main rival was


    but I remember when I visited the Philippines in 2005. There was this ateneo vs lasalle basketball game alumni on TV. From what I'm guessing, they were pretty good for their day. Anyways, it got really heated and they got physical. they almost fought but it was totally competitive but I was thoroughly entertained because it seemed like ateneo when they were up comfortably decided to stick it to them by running up the score. Tempers flared.

    One of the best games i've ever watched that I remember being entertained.

    Ateneo-La Salle is the marquee match up rivalry.

    But the usual suspects for the Final Four, every season seems to always be

    Ateneo
    La Salle
    UST
    FEU

    There's guaranteed to be at least 2 from that list, reaching the final four, every season.

    Sometimes, all 4 of them.

    i mean these alumni were pushing 50-65 years of age easily. And They STILL played like they were rivals. I was laughing my ass off the hole time when there was a shove or elbow.

    it was supposed to be an exhibition but they f'n threw the gloves off

    Basketball was religion in the Philippines.

    It was gone down some notches since its peak in the early 20th century up to the 1990s.

    The pro side's passion and intensity died down in the mid 1990's, but the college game still has a lot of it today.
