The development came after the performance order was determined during the drawing of lots held Wednesday, Nov. 6.

FEUCS head coach Randell San Gregorio was thrilled after getting the eight and last spot in the competition that is expected to draw a sold-out crowd.

“Happy kasi ‘yun ‘yung gusto namin [to perform eighth]. Kasi sa nine years ko sa CDC, hindi pa ko nag-eighth,” said San Gregorio.

“Alam na nila ‘yung feeling na tumapak sa mats and it should bring them confidence. Pero other than that, every year, new team, new theme. Hindi naman kami nag-uulit. Siguro ang pinakamaganda nilang madadala sa competition is nakapag-laro na sila; yun lang,” he added.

Apart from retaining the crown, FEU also guns for a 22nd podium finish. They currently hold the most number of podium finishes.

Ateneo raises the curtain followed University of the East in their respective bids to eclipse their previous finishes. Following suit are last year’s third placer University of Santo Tomas Salinggawi Dance Troupe, Adamson, University of the Philippines, last year’s bridesmaids and heavy favorite National University Pep Squad and De La Salle.

Flaunting its Super Mario-themed routine, FEU won its fourth overall championship last season after amassing 87.81 points – beating NU (87.13) and UST (85.50).
