UAAP: Sen. Pia Cayetano - 'I think their two year residency rule sucks!'

Add Senator Pia Cayetano to the list of critics of the UAAP's new residency rule for high school seniors, looking to transfer to other UAAP schools for college.

For now Ill say, as a former UAAP athlete (UP Vball, UAAP Champ)and a mom of athletes, I think their 2yr residency rule sucks!

Cayetano, a former UAAP champion volleyball player for the UP Lady Spikers, took to Twitter to tease her full statement on the reported new rule, saying, "For now I'll say, as a former UAAP athlete (UP Vball, UAAP Champ) and a mom of athletes, I think their 2yr residency rule sucks!

"I'm going to my boxing session now para magpalamig ng ulo, bago ko i-finalize young statement ko sa #UAAP residency rule."

Earlier in the day, Cayetano had responded to a Tweet asking her to "do something about this new uaap rule," to which she replied, "I'm studying it now."

According to reports, under the modified rule, a college freshman from a UAAP high school would be unable to transfer to a different UAAP university and compete in the league's athletic events without serving a two-year residency period, up from one year.
