UAAP Cheerdance Competition: ‘National Trash Talk Day’

The University Athletics Association of the Philippines (UAAP) Cheerdance Competition last week was another one for the books even as we saw the same podium finishes following the same order as last year’s—National University bagged the top spot, Far Eastern University second and Adamson University third.

While it was yet another entertaining cheerdance competition, it seemed as if more people were invested in what is now dubbed as “National Trash Talk Day.”

According to some netizens, National Trash Talk Day is the real competition because this is the UAAP event where fans are most rabid in supporting their alma mater, at the expense of competition, of course.

Check out the screen shots of the “trash talk” tweets that went viral.

Whether or not you enjoy National Trash Talk Day, it is important to remember to send that tweet or comment for pure fun.
