The UP Dekada Watch by Seiko Is Still Available Online
The UP Fighting Maroons clinched the UAAP Men's Basketball Championship title last Sunday, December 15, in Game 3 against the De La Salle Green Archers. This kicks up the number of their UAAP wins to four: 1940, 1986, 2021, and 2024.
Incidentally, the Nowhere To Go But UP Foundation (NTGBU)—an alumni-led organization supporting the Fighting Maroons—is also celebrating its 10th founding anniversary this year, making the win so much sweeter. The event was marked with the release of the Dekada Watch by Seiko back in August, and the timepiece is still available online.

NTGBU describes the Dekada Watch to be a "tribute to 10 years of passionate, unwavering love and loyalty by the UP community for their athletes, embodying the values ingrained in our DNA.
Isang dekada ng Dangal.
Isang dekada ng Husay.
Isang dekada ng Serbisyo.
Nowhere To Go But UP.
Isang dekadang Kasangga ng Iskolar-Atleta ng Bayan."
