UAAP suspends November 9 events due to Typhoon Uwan

The UAAP has suspended all its events scheduled for November 9 due to Typhoon Uwan.

In a statement on Saturday, the league announced that all basketball, men’s football, and high school volleyball games set for Sunday have been postponed.

The postponed games include the basketball matchups between rivals Ateneo de Manila University and De La Salle University, as well as Far Eastern University and the University of Santo Tomas. Also affected are the men’s football fixtures featuring UST versus FEU and La Salle against the University of the Philippines.

“The safety of our student-athletes, coaches, officials, fans, and everyone involved is our top priority. We strongly advise everyone to take all necessary precautions, stay indoors if possible, and ensure the safety of your family and loved ones during this severe weather event,” the league said.

The UAAP added that the new schedule for the affected games will be released once finalized.

In an earlier advisory, the UAAP said adjustments to its athletics and swimming events at New Clark City had also been made, with both events expected to be completed by Sunday.
