National University Pep Squad coach Gab Bajacan savored winning his first UAAP Cheerdance Competition championship after a runner-up debut last year.
Taking over a winning program from a multi-titled coach Ghicka Bernabe entails a huge responsibility and immense pressure. But that only brought the best in Bajacan and his team, which joined the UST Salinggawi Dance Troupe and UP Pep Squad with the most number of UAAP Cheerdance titles at eight.
“Test run lang yung last year kung kakayanin talaga ng team pa rin na ituloy yun. Ngayon, it’s a testament already that it’s still working. We will continue and improve it for the next seasons,” said Bajacan, who used to be Bernabe’s assistant coach in their first championships.
“It’s the whole coaching staff talaga. We designed the program for these athletes to be the champion for this sport. Yung program, yung system na binuo pa namin since 2011 and still, nagwo-work pa rin siya.
