MANILA, Philippines — National U wasn’t the lone winner in the third Shakey’s Super League (SSL) Collegiate Pre-Season Championship.
All 17 other teams from the UAAP and NCAA also felt like it after receiving a boatload of incentives from Shakey’s Pizza Asia Adventures Inc. (SPAVI) through the SSL bundle promos on Wednesday at the Shakey’s Malate in Manila.
SSL raised a total of 13,936,050 in cash – the highest in three seasons – made possible by patrons, fans, students and families who donated P50 to their chosen schools in every SSL bundle promo purchase.
Arellano University gained the lion’s share of the harvest, receiving P1,759,358 that would be a big boost in developing its sports program as one of SSL’s visions in helping all UAAP and NCAA squads.
Jose Rizal U placed second with P912,008 with St. Benilde (P896,758), Letran (P855,908) and Emilio Aguinaldo College (P814,008) completing the Top Five in the official awarding of checks led by SPAVI general manager Oliver Sicam with CEO Dr. Philip Ella Juico and president Dr. Ian Laurel of SSL organizer Athletic Events and Sports Management Inc. (ACES).
San Beda (P813,008), San Sebastian College-Recoletos (P730,458), Mapua (P724,408), Adamson (P718,908), Ateneo (P701,958), University of the Philippines (P701,908), runner-up La Salle (P651,908) and Lyceum of the Philippines University (P646,008) also drew huge bundles.
Completing the list of beneficiaries were University of Perpetual Help System Dalta (P657,358), National U (P652,708), Santo Tomas (P616,808), University of the East (P536,058) and Far Eastern U (P526,758).
