STRONG GROUP STATEMENT ON UE COMMITMENTS

Strong Group Athletics reaffirmed their commitment to the University of the East women’s volleyball program, emphasizing that their partnership will continue until the conclusion of the UAAP Season 87 tournament. This marks the final year of their two-year commitment to the program, as stipulated in their agreement signed prior to the start of UAAP Season 86.

Jacob Lao, president of Strong Group Athletics, made it clear that the group remains dedicated to fulfilling its pledge to the university until the end of the current volleyball season.

“We are committed to finishing our promise to UE, particularly with their women’s volleyball program,” Lao stated.

Strong Group Athletics will also continue to back the UE high school basketball program until the conclusion of UAAP Season 88, the final year of their three-year commitment. This follows the Junior Warriors’ recent victory in the inaugural UAAP junior high school basketball championship.

With the boys' basketball tournament set to begin on January 19, Lao expressed confidence in the continued success of the Junior Warriors, who are under the guidance of Coach Karl Santos.

“Our promise to UE remains strong,” Lao affirmed. “Our goal is not only to build a strong program but also to help UE win championships. The junior high school championship is just the beginning, and with Coach Karl Santos leading the boys’ team, we are confident that we’ll see them in the Final Four this season.”
