UAAP Season 78 opening ceremony, game schedule and livestream video

MANILA, Philippines - The UAAP Season 78 has kicked off Saturday noon, September 5, 2015 at the Araneta Coliseum with league host University of the Philippines (UP) honored the Philippine history in the traditional opening ceremony.

The season host has decided that it's high time for all of us to revisit our own history as a people. UP aims to take each and every one of us through a history lesson about how the Philippine archipelago was formed and, in turn, formed us in the opening ceremony with the theme "Tumitindig, Sumusulong."

UAAP Season 78, the 2015–2016 athletic year of the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) is composed of eight-member universities that are set to compete in fifteen sports to vie for the general championship.
