The UST Tiger Media Network (TMN), alongside the Institute of Physical Education and Athletics (UST-IPEA), is set to commence the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) Season 85 Kickoff Party 2022 on-site on September 28 to commemorate the fifth straight general championship of the university, and all its past championships.
The main celebration of the event will take place in the university’s Quadricentennial Pavilion (QPav), featuring festivities such as the Yellow Day Celebration, and the Annual Kickoff Party, where students and faculty members send off the UST varsity teams for UAAP Season 85.
Before the main event begins at 1 PM, a Eucharistic Celebration in the Santissimo Rosario Parish will be held at 10 AM to open the occasion.
Afterward, the Thomasian community will be introduced to the university’s current and new athletes, as well as their coaches, in the competing teams for UAAP. Moreover, the highly-anticipated UST Alumni Basketball Exhibition Game will also be carried out in the QPav Arena, three years after their last game in 2019.
Thomasians will also witness the relaunch and comeback of the UST Tiger TV’s Premiere Sports Show, “The Frontrunners," which will serve as the official sports outlet of TMN for all future seasons of the UAAP, including Season 85.
Meanwhile, TMN started the preseason with a series of campaigns, featuring the hashtags #TigerResurgence, #UAAPKickoffParty2022, and #UAAPSeason85 on their social media accounts, along with posters featuring Thomasian Athletes.
The UAAP Season 85 Kickoff Party 2022 will be broadcasted on UST Tiger TV’s Facebook Page for those who cannot attend on-site.
Kobe Dayao and Joanne Villanueva will serve as the event's main hosts while Joseph Atabay and Tatyana Austria as its field hosts.
