STATEMENT OF SENATOR RICHARD J. GORDON ON THE FORTHCOMING GAME BETWEEN UP AND ATENEO

As you well know I am from both schools and am heavily invested in both. I was in the student council, a cheerleader for Ateneo and quite an active supporter of both schools past graduation and consider myself so blest, thanks to my parents, for WORKING SO HARD and having me imbibe the education and values from both.

However, it is not like being between Scylla and Charybdis or being trapped between a rock and a hard place or being torn between two lovers. I love both schools and I get to win no matter what happens and cannot lose. Whoever wins is, for all, a passing though glorious moment in life and I will savor it. I cannot lose because this great moment represents Fighting values and spirit by the players and more important a welcome, (at this time)an overwhelming Undying support & BELIEF by both communities for our teams who both claim a high degree of intelligence, values, patriotism, competetiveness in all matters that truly count and tremendous love of country.

I am so elated that I am perhaps one of the few national leaders in the country today who come from both schools. I became a member of the student councils of both schools. Alors ! Let our people rejoice, enjoy the fiercest combat on the floor with sportmsmansip and above all faith in our talents and skills and not just luck but hard work. Alors! The country wins!
