FEU Cheering Squad, which ruled last year’s event, was the last to perform with its Disney’s Frozen-themed routine good for the bronze medal after garnering 650 points following a 17-point deduction from penalties.
Letting go of their reign was painful but San Gregorio was more disappointed by the social media backlash against his team.
“Do you want us to return the trophy or give it to another school?! If I have it my way, I promise I’ll do it!” San Gregorio wrote in Filipino on his Facebook account Sunday night.
Still, San Gregorio was pleased with his team’s third-place finish—the school’s 22nd podium appearance overall–despite believing that other squads like UE Pep Squad and UST Salinggawi Dance Troupe did better.
“Honestly, after our performance, sinabihan ko na sila wag mag-expect. Kasi feeling ko hindi kami papasok sa top three. Actually, ang ranking ko sa amin mga fourth or fifth. We’ve had too many mistakes. Medyo mabigat yung mga mali para isipin mo na may chance pa mag-podium.
