The results of the UAAP Cheerdancing Competition last Saturday made a huge buzz all over the internet. With the third straight victory of the National University (NU) Pep Squad, many are raising their eyebrows whether they deserve the win. Many are saying that the UST Salinggawi Dance Group or the UP Pep Squad should have won the victory. Others said that the low ranking of FEU Pep Squad, DLSU Animo Squad and even the AdU Pep Squad is questionable. Netizens are quick to respond to their victory, with mostly scathing remarks:
After the announcement though, fans walked out and some even gave thumbs down to show their disappointment of the UAAP CDC results. #UAAPCDC

Netizens are also clamoring for the return of the UAAP Cheerdancing Competition back to its original home in Smart-Araneta Coliseum as they perceived the “homecourt advantage” of NU to MOA Arena.
