Before we head to the much-awaited virtual best-of-three semifinals, let’s sit back, relax, and take a look back at the top 5 funny, what's-going-on clips from the UAAP Season 86 men's and women’s volleyball tournaments.
Watching the intense games from the collegiate volleyball tournaments makes you feel like these volleyball athletes are already superstars.
With their killer swag, deadly attacks, and high volleyball IQ, it seems like they are more than ready to set up their foot in the pro volleyball leagues.
While all of it is also true, watching these kwela moments will make you realize they are just like regular college students: meme masters, classroom comedians, and dance divas.
Josh Ybañez and Nat Prudenciado, aka Twerk Kweens
Unlike the famous booty-shaking track iTwerk (She Twerk) by 99 percent, these gals go to school and twerk at the same time. UST Golden Spikers’ Josh Ybañez and Nat Prudenciado made a grand entrance in the second with their bouncy twerks in their rematch against the Ateneo Blue Eagles.
2. Besties Bella Belen and Bernadett Pepito 4ever
When you have Bella and Detdet on the court, expect a spike of laughter and court-side comedy.
The UST Growling Tigresses captain and the NU Lady Bulldogs ace give off the vibe of girl besties whom you can’t separate from one another in spite of having different sections (in their case, teams).
We can’t get enough of this Bella x Detdet duo!
3. UST coach Odjie Mamon got the game
Who said coaches couldn’t join the fun?
UST Golden Tigers’ head coach Odjie Mamon says otherwise. After DLSU Green Spikers’ Noel Kampton off-the-block attack, coach Odjie unexpectedly digs the ball.
That’s how you do it, gents! Purr.
4. NU Lady Bulldogs’ chikahan during the press conference
Ever remembered a time when you and your friends had to present in front of the class but you couldn’t turn off your kulitan mode?
The same goes with the NU Lady Bulldogs.
Even after dominating the Ateneo Blue Eagles in straight sets, the NU Lady Bulldogs had tons of energy to goof around in front of the press.
We luv the authenticity, girlies!
5. Jonna Perdido’s post-game hunger
UST Growling Tigresses’ Jonna Perdido represents all of us. After their hard-earned four-setter win against the defending champs, the DLSU Lady Spikers, she only had one wish, and that was to have a hearty meal.
Daserb na daserb, sis!
All jokes aside, we can all agree that this is an extreme yet fun Round 2.
Let’s tune in for more kwela moments from the semis and final rounds!
