From NU’s Zumba number to UE going P-pop, people had their reactions to the long-awaited return of the UAAP Cheerdance Competition.

School spirit among UAAP fans was at an all-time high this past weekend, and it wasn’t just because of the heated first finals game between UP and Ateneo. After a two-year hiatus, the UAAP Cheerdance Competition finally tumbled and flipped its way back onto our screens with its return. Fans from across the eight UAAP schools and even beyond came together to, well, cheer for their respective school’s cheer team. The energy was palpable as each team went on the floor to deliver their routine with the hopes of a podium finish.
The UAAP Cheerdance Competition has always been a special place for gags and stunts, and the 2022 iteration was no different. In the end, NU took home top prize for a historic win thanks to their jaw-dropping Zumba and 80s-inspired number. FEU was a very close second while UST channeled their inner Little Monster for a Lady Gaga-inspired performance that landed them in third place.
And as you can expect, as all of this went down, netizens were quick with their takes on all the head spinning action that went down. Here are some of the funniest and most memorable we found on social media.

ang pagguho ng pyramid ng UP pep squad ay simbolismo ng pabagsak ng ating ekonomiya sa ilalim ng administrasyong marcos.
