'Binuhat yung lalaki eh': UP Pep Squad's #PantayPantay routine a hit online
The University of the Philippines Pep Squad wowed the crowd anew in the UAAP Cheerdance Competition on Sunday with a routine themed "Pantay-Pantay," which celebrated a vision of equality.
Underscoring the equality theme was a reversal of traditional cheerleading roles, with female cheerleaders lifting male cheerleaders in a pyramid.
The execution of the UP Pep Squad drew raves on Twitter, making it clear just how well the UP Pep Squad's vision translated during the routine.
Binuhat yung lalaki e. Game changer right there. Wild UP Pep Squad. Wild.
